General Description

The MAX4550/MAX4570 serial-interface, programmable, dual 4x2 audio/video crosspoint switches are ideal for multimedia applications. Each device contains two identical crosspoint switch arrays, each with four inputs and two outputs. To improve off-isolation, use the additional crosspoint inputs SA and SB as shunts. Each output is selectively programmable for clickless or regular mode operation. A set of internal resistive voltagedividers supplies DC bias for each output when using AC-coupled inputs. Additionally, four auxiliary outputs control additional circuitry via the MAX4550/MAX4570’s 2-wire or 3-wire interface.
