LM2438T

LM2438 Monolithic Triple 13.5 ns CRT Driver August 1999 LM2438 Monolithic Triple 13.5 ns CRT Driver General Description The LM2438 is an integrated high voltage CRT driver circuit designed for use in color monitor applications. The IC contains three high input impedance, wide band amplifiers which directly drive the RGB cathodes of a CRT. Each channel has its gain internally set to −14 and can drive CRT capacitive loads as well as resistive loads present in other applications, limited only by the package’s power dissipation. The IC is packaged in an industry standard 9-lead TO-220 molded plastic power package. See Thermal Considerations section. Features n Well matched with LM1279 video preamp n 0V to 5V input range n Stable with 0–20 pF capacitive loads and inductive peaking networks n Convenient TO-220 staggered lead package style n Standard LM243X Family Pinout which is designed for easy PCB layout Applications n 1024 x 768 displays up to 60 Hz refresh n Pixel clock frequencies up to 60 MHz n Monitors using video blanking Schematic and Connection Diagrams DS101043-2 Note: Tab is at GND Top View Order Number LM2438T DS101043-1 FIGURE 1.
