DATA SHEET
GB4551 Video Buffer with
Strobed DC Restore
Document No. 520 - 52 - 2
DESCRIPTION
The GB4551 is a high performance video buffer with DC
restore primarily used for accurate back porch clamping.
The circuit features a wideband differential amplifier that
can be configured as a gain stage. The output signal
voltage is limited to +2V above the clamp level in order to
prevent damage to crosspoints or other circuits connected
to the output.
The clamping action occurs when the STROBE (STB)
input is taken to ground. A typical application would be for
DC restoration during the back porch period. In this case
the negative-going back porch pulse would be derived
from an external sync separator circuit.
The GB4551 will operate from
±
9V to
±
12V power supplies
and will directly interface with Gennum’s video crosspoint
switches. The 8 pin SIP package is ideally suited for
space restricted board layouts.
