Description

The TSH346 is a triple single-supply video buffer featuring an internal gain of 6 dB and a 36 MHz filtering for HD video outputs on 75-Ω video lines. The TSH346 is ideal to drive either YUV, YPbPr or RGB signals from video DAC outputs. The main advantage of this circuit is that its input DC level shifter allows for video signals on 75-Ω video lines without damaging the synchronization tip of the video signal, and with no input capacitor, while using a single 5 V power supply. The DC level shifter is internally fixed and optimized to keep the output video signals between low and high output rails. This level is as low as possible to minimize the output DC level in the video line. The TSH346 is available in an SO-8 plastic package for optimum space saving. Top View
