MAX9656AEP+

Analog Switches - Special Purpose Overview

The MAX9656AEP+ is a low-power video switch designed for dual SCART connector applications. It operates on a single 2.7V to 3.6V supply and features integrated reconstruction filters with ±1dB passband flatness out to 9.5MHz and 47dB attenuation at 27MHz. The device provides a fixed voltage gain of 2V/V and includes input sync-tip clamps set to 0.3V. It supports routing CVBS signals from the encoder or TV SCART to the VCR SCART via the VCR_SEL logic input. In shutdown mode, quiescent current drops to 35µA. The component is housed in a 20-pin QSOP package and is specified over an operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

Analog Switches - Special Purpose Feature Summary

• Dual SCART support for routing video signals between set-top box decoders and external connectors
• Integrated standard-definition reconstruction filters optimized for signal smoothing
• Low-power shutdown mode significantly reducing quiescent current consumption
• Input sync-tip clamps for automatic DC level restoration

Analog Switches - Special Purpose Applications

• SCART Set-Top Boxes
• Video signal routing in consumer electronics

Analog Switches - Special Purpose Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix AEP+ corresponds to the 20-pin QSOP package variant. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration. Ensure design compatibility with the required 2.7V to 3.6V single-supply voltage range and -40°C to +125°C operating temperature specifications.

Analog Switches - Special Purpose Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring dual SCART connectivity with integrated filtering. The MAX9656 differs from the MAX9655 by supporting CVBS return from the TV SCART to the VCR SCART. Verify that the 20-pin QSOP package fits the board layout constraints and that the 2V/V gain matches the downstream amplifier requirements.

Analog Switches - Special Purpose Part Context

The MAX9656AEP+ belongs to the MAX9655/MAX9656 family of low-power video switches manufactured by Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated. These devices are specifically engineered for set-top boxes to manage video signal paths between encoders and dual SCART ports. The AEP+ designation identifies the lead-free, RoHS-compliant version in the 20-pin QSOP package.

Analog Switches - Special Purpose Replacement Considerations

The MAX9655AEE+ is a related part within the same family but lacks TV SCART CVBS return support and uses a 16-pin package. No other direct public substitutes are confirmed in the provided documentation.
