The Maxim Integrated MAX463CWG is a three-channel RGB video switch with an integrated buffer, designed to route and condition analog video signals in a single 24-SOIC package. It delivers a 200 V/µs slew rate and 100 MHz -3 dB bandwidth, which together support clean switching of standard-definition and many high-definition analog video formats without visible slew-rate limiting or bandwidth roll-off in the passband. With three circuits on-chip, it directly maps to the red, green, and blue channels of an RGB video path, saving board area versus discrete op-amp and analog-switch combinations.
Package and board-fit reality
The wide SOIC footprint is less common than the narrow SOIC-24, so verify the PCB land pattern before committing the layout — a narrow SOIC-24 pad set will not align.
No official successor has been announced, and there is no pin-compatible second source listed in the available documentation.
