MAX9598CTL+

Analog Switches - Special Purpose Overview

The MAX9598CTL+ is a low-power audio and video switcher designed for dual SCART applications. It interfaces MPEG decoders with two external SCART connectors, complying with EN50049-1, IEC 933-1, Canal+, and BSkyB standards. The device utilizes a 48-pin thin QFN package (6mm x 6mm) and operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. Control is managed via an I2C interface.

Analog Switches - Special Purpose Feature Summary

• Audio section employs DirectDrive technology to output ground-referenced 2VRMS signals without AC coupling capacitors, effectively suppressing click noise.
• Video section includes built-in standard definition video filters and load detection capabilities that automatically shut down unloaded outputs to reduce power consumption.
• Internal charge pump generates -3.3V voltage from dual +3.3V and +12V power supplies.

Analog Switches - Special Purpose Applications

• Satellite set-top boxes
• Cable set-top boxes
• A/V receivers

Analog Switches - Special Purpose Procurement Notes
