TSH343 and TSH344
Triple video buffers for high definition 75 video lines

New high definition television and video recording applications require an entire chain of high-speed components to process and transport video signals between various devices. ST’s new family of high-speed video drivers and buffers have been designed using an advanced BiCMOS process, which offers not only a large bandwidth, but low power consumption.

Designed for HDTV

The TSH343 and TSH344 are triple video buffers capable of driving high definition signals on 75ohms lines. The TSH343 buffer is designed to drive Y-Pb-Pr signals, and offers an ample bandwidth of 280MHz, as well as a built-in DC shift of 600mV. The TSH344 offers 340MHz of bandwidth and a slew-rate of 740V/µs to drive RGB signals.
An internally-fixed gain of 6dB ensures a correct level of video signal whilst maintaining good line matching.

The Virtues of Single-Supply

Both the TSH343 and TSH344 have been designed to operate on a single supply of +5V. This key feature offers a major advantage - it eliminates the need for a -5V supply. This advantage is achieved by enabling the signal to be adjusted upwards internally, in order to avoid clamping of the synchronization tip against the lower output rail.

Application schematic

Another strength of the TSH343 and TSH344 is that the video signal can be driven directly from the DAC output without the addition of an input capacitor, and without the need for external resistors, which translates into a reduced total component count, and a simpler board design.
