LM2476
Monolithic Triple Channel 6.5 ns High Gain CRT Driver
and Bias Clamp
n Convenient TO-247 staggered lead package style
General Description
CRT Drivers
n High gain of –27 for up to 60VP-P output swing
n Stable with capacitive loads and inductive peaking
networks
The LM2476 is a monolithic triple channel CRT driver and
triple bias clamp for low-cost color monitor applications. The
highly integrated IC contains three wide-band amplifiers for
driving the RGB cathodes of a CRT through external cou-
pling capacitors and three low-band clamp amplifiers for DC
restoration and cutoff adjustment of the video outputs. The
CRT drivers have a high, fixed gain of -27 and can drive CRT
capacitive loads as well as resistive loads present in other
applications, limited only by the package’s power dissipation.
Bias Clamps
n Gain of –17 for up to 60V DC output range
Applications
n 1024 x 768 displays up to 85 Hz refresh rate
n Pixel clock frequencies up to 95 MHz
n Monitors using video blanking
The IC is packaged in a 19-lead TO-247 molded plastic
package and must be operated with a properly chosen heat
sink. See the Package Mounting and Thermal Consider-
ations sections for more information.
Features
n Well-matched to the LM123X/4X family of preamplifiers
n Operates with VCC = 60V to 90V
