20 <strong>Amplifier</strong>s➔Video <strong>Amplifier</strong>sVideo amplifiers—can be used in a numberof different ways, but generally are in thesignal path for amplifying, buffering, filtering ordriving video lines. The specifications of mostinterest for composite video signals, or CVBS,are differential gain <strong>and</strong> differential phase. Forother video signals, such as Y’P’bP’r or RGB,b<strong>and</strong>width – both small signal <strong>and</strong> largesignal, <strong>and</strong> slew rate are of most importance.Noise <strong>and</strong> DC accuracy is also consideredimportant in some high-end applications.The traditional Voltage-Feedback (VFB) amplifiersare widely used because of their ability tobe configured for almost any situation. ManyVFB amplifiers have the ability to accept inputsignals going to the negative rail (or ground),allowing use in many single-supply systems.Additionally, many VFB amplifiers offer rail-torailoutputs offering the widest dynamic rangepossible on small supplies. Traditional VFBamplifiers (non-RRO) designed for video offerthe ability to have very high slew rates, wideb<strong>and</strong>widths, low noise, <strong>and</strong> very good DCcharacteristics. Current-feedback amps arecommonly found in high-end video applications,because of their combination of high slew rate<strong>and</strong> excellent output drive at lowquiescent power.High-Speed Video Multiplexers—Numerous video applications, such as RGB orYPbPr video switching, video routers, highresolution monitors, etc. are creating anincreased need for high-speed switching withmultiplexers (muxes). With the increased needto reduce board space are also the dem<strong>and</strong>sthat these muxes provide low powerconsumption as well as increased functionality,such as the ability to drive 75-Ohms or150-Ohms while maintaining good videoperformance specifications. Thesespecifications include low crosstalk, fastsettling, gain flatness, low switching glitchalong with low differential gain <strong>and</strong> differentialphase. The new OPA875 <strong>and</strong> OPA3875 single<strong>and</strong>triple 2:1 multiplexers along with the newOPA4872, 4:1 multiplexer easily meets theserequirements. Using a new patented inputstage switching approach, the switching glitchis much improved over earlier solutions. Thistechnique uses current steering as the inputswitch while maintaining an overall closedloopdesign.TI brought new technology to the market withthe introduction of the THS7303, THS7313 <strong>and</strong>THS7353. These three-channel devices werethe first to offer full I 2 C programmability of allfunctions independently for each channel,which provides the designer the flexibility toconfigure a video system as required or on-thefly,without the need for hardware upgrades ormodifications. The devices are designed withintegrated Butterworth filters to provide all theanalog signal conditioning required in videoapplications such as set-top boxes, digitaltelevisions, personal video recorders/DVDreaders <strong>and</strong> portable USB devices. These highlyintegrated devices provide space savings as aresult of the high levels of integration <strong>and</strong>advanced package technology.The strong combination of integrated features<strong>and</strong> optimized design make TI’s THS7327 <strong>and</strong>new THS7347, well suited for use in projectors<strong>and</strong> professional video systems. Both3-channel RGBHV video buffers offer a monitorpass-thru amplifier, unity gain buffer, 2:1 inputmux, I 2 C control of all functions on eachchannel, HV synch paths with AdjustableSchmitt Trigger, selectable bias modes <strong>and</strong>rail-to-rail output that swings within 100mV ofthe rails to allow for either AC or DC-coupling.The THS7347 incorporates a 500MHz b<strong>and</strong>width,1200V/µs unity-gain buffer making itideal for driving ADCs <strong>and</strong> video decoders,where the THS7327 offers an integrated 5thorder Butterworth anti-aliasing filter on eachchannel. These filters improve image qualityby eliminating DAC images.Portable Video— Successfully designing ahigh-performance video system into lowvoltage portable applications requires carefulattention to many details. Portableapplications impose very challenging technicalrequirements beyond those required in typicalvideo applications <strong>and</strong> dem<strong>and</strong> particulartrade-offs in performance, power consumption,printed circuit board space <strong>and</strong> cost. A DCcoupledsolution with integrated gain,low-pass filter, level-shifter, <strong>and</strong> shutdownsolves these challenges while maintaininggood video performance <strong>and</strong> eliminates theneed for large, expensive discrete components.The st<strong>and</strong>ard definition (SDTV) THS7314 <strong>and</strong>high definition (HDTV) THS7316 easily meetthese trade-offs by maintaining outst<strong>and</strong>inglow-cost performance while the EDTV/SDTVline driver THS7318, with it’s small profilewafer scale package, is ideal for extremelyboard space sensitive applications.The new low power THS7315 is a fullyintegratedSDTV video amplifier which featuresa rail-to-rail output stage allowing for both AC<strong>and</strong> DC line driving. The low 15.6mA quiescentcurrent at 3.3V makes it an excellent choice forUSB powered or other power sensitive videoapplications.Video <strong>Amplifier</strong>sVoltage FeedbackCurrent Feedback Filtered <strong>Amplifier</strong>s Special FunctionsOPAy354 (2.5V to 5.5V)OPAy355 (2.5V to 5.5V)OPAy356 (2.5V to 5.5V)OPAy357 (2.5V to 5.5V)THS4281 (2.7, ±7.5V)OPAy358 (2.7V to 3.3V)OPA360 (2.7V to 3.3V)OPA361 (2.7V to 3.3V)OPAy830 (2.8V, ±5.0)OPAy832 (2.8V, ±5)OPAy690 (5V, ±5V)OPA842 (5V, ±5V)OPAy820 (5V, ±5V)OPAy694 (±5V)OPAy691 (5V, ±5V)OPAy684 (5V, ±5V)OPAy683 (5V, ±5V)OPAy692 (5V, ±5V)OPAy693 (5V, ±5V)OPAy695 (5V, ±5V)OPA360 (2.7V to 3.3V)OPA361 (2.5V to 3.3V)THS7303 (2.7V to 5.5V)THS7313 (2.7V to 5.5V)THS7353 (2.7V to 5.5V)THS7327 (2.7V to 5.5V)THS7314 (2.85V to 5.5V)THS7315 (2.85V to 5.5V)THS7316 (2.85V to 5.5V)THS7318 (2.85V to 5V)THS7347 (2.7V to 5.5V)OPA615 (±5V)BUF602 (±5V, +5V, +3.3V)OPA861 (±5V)OPAy875 (±5V)OPA4872 (±5V)New devices appear in RED.<strong>Amplifier</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Data</strong> <strong>Converter</strong> <strong>Selection</strong> <strong>Guide</strong> Texas Instruments 3Q 2007
