DACs.

The TSH344 is used to drive high definition video signals up to 30MHz on 75-ohm video

lines. It is dedicated to driving RGB signals typically between 300mV and 1V, as seen in (1).

possible to drive the signal in single supply without any saturation of the driver against the

lower rail.

Assuming that we lose half of the signal by output impedance-matching in order to properly

drive the video line, the shifted signal is multiplied by a gain of 2 or +6dB (3).

Delay between channels

Delay between each video component is an important aspect in high definition video

systems. To drive porperly the three video components without any relative delay, the dice of

the TSH344 is layouted out with a very symetrical geometry. The effect is direct on the

synchronization of each channel, as shown in

Figure 30. No delay appears between each

channel when the same Vin signal is applied on the three inputs. Note that the delay from

the inputs the outputs equals 4ns.
