Product details
Overview
The MAX465CWG from Maxim Integrated is a triple-channel, 2-pole video switch and buffer with 2V/V fixed-gain amplifiers optimized for RGB color video routing in broadcast- and medical-grade systems. It delivers ±2V output swing into 75Ω, 90MHz bandwidth, 0.01% differential gain error, and 20ns channel switching time under ±5V supplies.
For engineers reviewing the MAX465CWG datasheet, MAX465CWG pinout, MAX465CWG application, or MAX465CWG equivalent, this device is selected for high-fidelity RGB multiplexing where low crosstalk (<60dB), minimal phase distortion (0.03°), and direct 75Ω coaxial cable drive capability are critical design requirements.
Technical Context
The MAX465CWG integrates three independent 2V/V gain amplifier-switch channels in a single monolithic bipolar IC. Each channel features a 5pF input capacitance (on/off), 250kΩ disabled output resistance, and logic-controlled selection via TTL-compatible A0, CS, EN, and LE inputs with latchable digital interface timing.
Its internal 2V/V closed-loop gain compensates for 50% attenuation in back-terminated 75Ω coaxial configurations, delivering unity gain at the cable end. The device operates across ±4.75V to ±5.25V supplies and supports simultaneous disable of all outputs with high-Z state and reduced power consumption.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Voltage Gain | 2V/V fixed internal gain - enables unity gain at 75Ω back-terminated coax output |
| -3dB Bandwidth | 90MHz - supports full HD RGB signal bandwidth without roll-off |
| Differential Gain Error | 0.01% - preserves color fidelity in broadcast-quality video systems |
| Channel Switching Time | 20ns - ensures glitch-free RGB source transitions in real-time overlay editors |
| Input Capacitance | 5pF (on or off) - maintains consistent source loading and minimizes switching transients |
| Output Swing | ±2V into 75Ω - meets SMPTE/EBU line-driving requirements for RGB distribution |
| Crosstalk | >60dB - prevents color bleed between R/G/B channels in security and medical imaging |
Pinout & Package
MAX465CWG is housed in a 24-pin wide SOIC (SO) package with exposed thermal pad on V− pins for enhanced power dissipation. Pin layout follows standard RGB triple-switch topology with dedicated analog ground shielding around all inputs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN0A, IN1A, IN2A | Channel A analog inputs (R/G/B) | Three independent RGB signal inputs for first source |
| IN0B, IN1B, IN2B | Channel B analog inputs (R/G/B) | Three independent RGB signal inputs for second source |
| OUT0, OUT1, OUT2 | Buffered analog outputs (R/G/B) | 2V/V gain outputs driving 75Ω coax directly |
| A0 | Channel select control | TTL input selecting A (low) or B (high) source per channel |
| EN | Buffer enable/disable | Active-low control enabling/disabling all three output buffers |
| CS | Chip-select latch | Controls transparency/latching of A0 and EN registers |
| LE | Latch-enable | Determines whether EN latches on CS edge or remains transparent |
| V+, V− | Power supply rails | ±5V dual supplies; multiple V− pins provide thermal path and low-noise grounding |
| GND | Analog ground | AC-ground pins isolate inputs and minimize parasitic coupling |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar RGB video switch and buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX463CWG | Unity-gain (1V/V) amplifiers; same pinout and switching specs | Requires external gain stage for 75Ω back-termination; lower output swing (±2.5V into 150Ω only) | Select when system uses 150Ω termination or requires minimal gain adjustment |
| MAX466CWG | Quad-channel (4× RGB) version in 28-pin SO; 2V/V gain; identical electrical specs | Supports four RGB sources instead of three; larger footprint and higher supply current | Select when expanding to quad-source RGB routing without redesigning board layout topology |
Compared with MAX463CWG and MAX466CWG, the MAX465CWG uniquely balances triple-channel density, 2V/V coax optimization, and 24-pin SO packaging-making it the optimal choice for compact, high-fidelity RGB multiplexers where 75Ω back-termination is mandatory and fourth channel is unnecessary.

FAQ
What is the operating supply voltage range for the MAX465CWG?
The MAX465CWG operates from ±4.75V to ±5.25V dual supplies, with absolute maximum ratings up to ±5.25V. It is specified for ±5V operation and supports input signals up to ±2.5V when driving 150Ω loads - a key requirement for compatibility with standard video signal levels in the MAX465CWG's target applications.
Does the MAX465CWG support back-terminated 75Ω coaxial cable drive?
Yes, the MAX465CWG is explicitly designed for 75Ω back-terminated coaxial cable drive. Its internal 2V/V gain compensates for the 50% attenuation caused by the 75Ω termination resistor, delivering unity gain at the far end of the cable - a core specification confirmed in the MAX465CWG datasheet's "Driving Coaxial Cable" section.
What is the disabled output resistance of the MAX465CWG?
The MAX465CWG exhibits a typical disabled output resistance of 1kΩ, as verified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Output Resistance, Disabled Mode" (ROUTD). This value is distinct from the 250kΩ seen in unity-gain variants like MAX463CWG and is critical for safe paralleling in multi-device RGB mux architectures.
Can multiple MAX465CWG devices be paralleled for larger RGB networks?
Yes, the MAX465CWG supports output paralleling using its logic disable mode. When disabled, outputs enter high-Z state with 1kΩ resistance, allowing up to two MAX465CWG devices to be safely paralleled with 22Ω isolation resistors - a configuration validated in the "Paralleling MAX466s" application note applicable to MAX465CWG due to identical gain and disable characteristics.
What is the differential phase error specification for the MAX465CWG?
The MAX465CWG has a differential phase error of 0.03°, measured per Note 3 in the datasheet using a 3.58MHz sine wave superimposed on a linear ramp into a 150Ω load. This value is guaranteed across the 0°C to +70°C operating range and is essential for broadcast-quality color reproduction in RGB systems using the MAX465CWG.
