The MAX9568 video sync separator extracts sync timing information from standard-definition (SDTV), extended-definition (EDTV), and high-definition (HDTV) component video signals. This device is designed for reliable operation in the presence of copy protection schemes such as MACROVISION®. The MAX9568 is a stand-alone device and requires no external components for timing or biasing. High-impedance video inputs prevent loading of the input signal and eliminate the need for buffering. The MAX9568 is available in a 16-pin QSOP package. The device is specified over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
