Video filter amplifier with short-to-battery protection for automotive applications

Maxim has launched MAX9532, an analog video filter amplifier IC. MAX9532 drives standard-definition (SD) video connections to an in-dash or rear-seat automotive video display. The rugged MAX9532 packs short-to-battery protection up to 18V on the video output to save an external series resistor. This device is suggested for backup cameras and infotainment systems.

The MAX9532 operate from a single 3.3V supply while driving an industry-standard video signal without a DC offset. Saving the board from external DC-blocking capacitors.

The MAX9532 improves video quality to any in-dash display by providing the filtering needed to attenuate high-frequency artifacts and noise in the video signal. The integrated high-order filter features ±1dB passband flatness up to 9.5MHz and 42dB attenuation at 27MHz.

Operating supply voltage: single 2.7V to 3.6V supply
Operating temperature range: -40°C to +125°C
Price: Each $0.39 for 1k pieces.
