GENERAL DESCRIPTION
single-ended input to differential output drivers. Th
e AD8146gain of 4. They are all specifically designed for the highest
resolution component video signals but can be used for any
type of analog signals or high speed data transmission over
either Category 5 UTP cable or differential printed circuit
board (PCB) transmission lines.
These drivers can be used with th
e AD8145 triple differential-
to-singled-ended receiver, and the
AD8117 crosspoint switch to
produce a video distribution system capable of supporting
UXGA or 1080p signals.
Manufactured on the Analog Devices, Inc. second generation
XFCB bipolar process, the drivers have large signal bandwidths
of 700 MHz and fast slew rates. They have an internal common-
mode feedback feature that provides output amplitude and
phase matching that is balanced to 60 dB at 50 MHz, suppressing
even-order harmonics and minimizing radiated
electromagnetic interference (EMI).
The common-mode voltage of ea
ch AD8146 output can be set
to any level, allowing transmission of signals over the common-
and horizontal sync signals on the common-mode voltages of
the outputs. All outputs can be independently set to low voltage
states to be used with series diodes for line isolation, allowing
easy differential multiplexing over the same twisted pair cable.
and operate over a temperature range of 40°C to +85°C.
