DESCRIPTION
Fabricated using the revolutionary complementary
Silicon-Germanium (SiGe) BiCom3X process, the
THS7374 is a low-power, single-supply 3 V to 5 V
four-channel integrated video buffer. It incorporates a sixth-order Butterworth filter (able to be bypassed)
which is useful as a digital-to-analog converter (DAC)
reconstruction filter or an analog-to-digital converter
(ADC) anti-aliasing filter. The 9.5-MHz filter is a
perfect choice for SDTV video that includes
composite (CVBS), s-video, Y'U'V', G'B'R' (R'G'B'),
and Y'P'BP'R 480i/576i.
As part of the THS7374 flexibility, the input can be
configured for either ac or dc-coupled inputs. The
300-mV output level shift allows for a full sync
dynamic range at the output with 0-V input. The
ac-coupled modes include a transparent sync-tip
clamp option for CVBS, Y', and G'B'R' signals with
sync. AC-coupled biasing for C'/P'B/P'R channels can
easily be achieved by adding an external resistor.
The THS7374 is the perfect choice for all video buffer
applications. Its rail-to-rail output stage with 6-dB gain allows for both ac and dc line driving. The ability to
drive two lines per channel, or 75-Ω loads, allows for
maximum flexibility as a video line driver. The 9.6-mA
total quiescent current at 3.3 V and 0.1-mA disabled
current makes it an excellent choice for portable or
other power-sensitive applications.
The THS7374 is available in a TSSOP-14 package
that is lead-free and green (RoHS) compliant.
