The MAX9508 video filter amplifier with SmartSleep and bidirectional video support is ideal for set-top boxes (STBs), portable DVD players, and portable media players (PMPs). The inputs can be directly connected to the digital-to-analog converter (DAC) outputs. The reconstruction filter removes high-frequency signals above 6.75MHz. The amplifiers have 6dB of gain, and the outputs can be DC-coupled to a load of 75 , which is equivalent to two video loads, or it can be AC-coupled to a load of 150.
