Maxim Integrated MAX496/MAX497 Video Buffer Datasheet
The MAX496 and MAX497 are quad, closed‑loop video buffer amplifiers designed for component (RGB or YUV) and composite video applications. They provide very high bandwidth and slew‑rate performance, with the MAX496 offering a unity‑gain (+1 V/V) configuration and the MAX497 a fixed gain of +2 V/V.
These devices are intended for use in computer workstations, surveillance video, broadcast and high‑definition TV systems, multimedia products, medical imaging, high‑speed signal processing, video switching and routing, and other high‑performance video applications. The datasheet details electrical characteristics, pin configurations, layout recommendations, and package options.
