MAX9526ATJ+

Encoders, Decoders, Converters Overview

The MAX9526ATJ+ is a low-power video decoder that converts NTSC or PAL composite video signals to 8-bit or 10-bit YCbCr component video compliant with the ITU-R BT.656 standard. It features an internal 10-bit, 54MHz ADC sampling at four times oversampling. The device operates on a single +1.8V supply for analog and digital cores, while digital I/O accepts +1.7V to +3.45V. It includes a DC restoration circuit, automatic gain control, and an integrated analog anti-aliasing filter. The part operates over the -40°C to +125°C automotive temperature range and is housed in a 32-pin TQFN (5mm x 6mm) package.

Encoders, Decoders, Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the package type and lead-free status. The ATJ+ designation indicates a 32-pin TQFN package with an exposed pad. Confirm RoHS compliance and automotive qualification requirements against the project specifications before finalizing procurement.

Encoders, Decoders, Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-power solution is required for converting composite video to component format. Ensure the system design accommodates the separate digital I/O voltage range of +1.7V to +3.45V for processor interfacing. Verify that the 32-pin TQFN footprint matches the PCB layout constraints.

Encoders, Decoders, Converters Part Context

The MAX9526ATJ+ belongs to the MAX9526 family of low-power, high-performance NTSC/PAL video decoders manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. This series is designed for applications requiring direct conversion of composite video signals to ITU-R BT.656 compliant component video with minimal external components.

Encoders, Decoders, Converters Replacement Considerations

The MAX9526AEI+ serves as a pin-compatible alternative using a 28-pin QSOP package. Both parts share identical electrical characteristics and functionality but differ in physical dimensions and thermal dissipation properties due to the distinct packaging technologies.
