APPLICATIONS INFORMATIONPower Supply Considerations The grounds are separately pinned for each amplifi er to minimize crosstalk. The LT6558 is optimized to provide full video signal swing output when operated from a standard 5V single supply. Operation from split supplies can be accomplished by Due to the supply current involved in ultrahigh slew rate connecting the LT6558 ground pins to the negative rail. amplifi ers like the LT6558, selection of the lowest workable With dual supplies, recommended voltages range from supply voltage is recommended to minimize heat genera- nominal ±2.5V to ±3.3V. tion and simplify thermal management.
