MAX9546ESA+

Video Amps And Modules Overview

The MAX9546ESA+ is a video driver IC designed for differential interface applications. It converts single-ended analog video signals into differential outputs for transmission over twisted-pair cabling. The device operates from a 7.5V to 10V single supply and includes fault detection capabilities. Key electrical parameters include a large-signal bandwidth of 18 MHz, a slew rate of 70 V/µs, and a settling time of 400 ns. It provides ±15kV ESD protection and tolerates ground-level shifts up to ±2V between source and load.

Video Amps And Modules Feature Summary

• Includes an active-fault output indicator that detects short-circuit conditions at the differential outputs, including shorts to high battery or ground.
• Features robust input and output protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD) rated at ±15kV Human Body Model.
• Capable of tolerating ground-level shifts of up to ±2V between the source and load during operation.
• Provides internal preset gain to drive back-terminated, DC-coupled differential video outputs.

Video Amps And Modules Applications

• Security and CCTV video systems
• Avionics and in-flight entertainment systems

Video Amps And Modules Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package code S8E-14 matches the required footprint. Confirm the lead-free status indicated by the '+' suffix aligns with environmental compliance requirements. Ensure the operating voltage range of 7.5V to 10V is compatible with the system power design before finalizing procurement.

Video Amps And Modules Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed-gain driver is required for transmitting CVBS/FBAS signals over differential lines. It is suitable for environments requiring proactive diagnosis of cable failures. Consider the companion MAX9547 receiver for complete chipset functionality. Verify thermal dissipation needs within the SO-EP package for the target application temperature range.

Video Amps And Modules Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX9546/MAX9547 differential video interface chipset manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It serves as the transmitter counterpart to the MAX9547 receiver. The chipset is engineered to replace bulky coaxial cables with cost-effective twisted-pair solutions for transporting analog video signals through hostile environments.
