TSH340 & TSH341
Very High-Speed Video Amplifiers

TSH340 datasheet
TSH341 datasheet

Very wide bandwidth and excellent linearity are increasingly required for high-end video equipment. ST now offers a solution with the TSH340 and TSH341 dedicated to driving 75Ω video lines.
High performance in high volume is the main purpose here. Designed with an advanced BiCMOS process, this series targets HDTV, professional video and medical imaging.

Main Features of TSH340 & TSH341

The TSH34x uses a voltage feedback architecture combined with a very high speed complementary technology of 0.25µm to achieve a large bandwidth of up to 300MHz for only 9.8mA quiescent current.
A high slew rate, and a gain flatness of 65MHz combined with a low input voltage noise of 7nV/Hz and a very good distortion of 70dBc (2Vpp/10MHz on 150Ω) make the TSH34x an excellent choice for driving DAC outputs on 75Ω video lines. This series of devices are input/output negative rail, which allows them to drive the signal down to 60mV (tested value) from GND in 0/5V single supply.
This feature is particularly useful because it permits one to drive the video signal directly from the DAC output without any transition capacitance. The TSH340 is a buffer with an internal gain which provides savings both on board space and in number of components. The value of the gain is 6dB to allow the right level of the video signal while maintaining good line matching. The TSH341 is an op-amp using the same architecture but allowing flexibility on the value of the gain.
