General Description
The MAX456 is the first monolithic CMOS 8 x 8 video crosspoint switch that significantly reduces component count, board space, and cost. The crosspoint switch contains a digitally controlled matrix of 64 T-switches that connect eight video input signals to any, or all, output channels. Each matrix output connects to eight internal, high-speed (250V/µs), unity-gain-stable buffers capable of driving 400Ω and 20pF to ±1.3V. For applications requiring increased drive capability, the MAX456 outputs can be connected directly to two MAX470 quad, gain-of-two video buffers, which are capable of driving 75Ω loads.
