The best performance can be obtained by double termination (75Ω in series with the output of the ampli- fier, and 75Ω to ground at the other end of the cable). This termination is preferred because reflected energy is VOUT VOUT 0V 0V 1mV/DIV absorbed at each end of the cable. When using the double 1V/DIV termination technique it is important to note that the signal is attenuated by a factor of 2, or 6dB. For a cable driver with a gain of 5 (op amp gain of 10) the – 3dB bandwidth is 56MHz with only 0.25dB of peaking.

The amplifier will The LT1192 operational amplifier has been optimized as a shut down by taking Pin 5 to V–. In shutdown, the amplifier low cost video cable driver. The ±50mA guaranteed output dissipates 15mW while maintaining a true high impedance current enables the LT1192 to easily deliver 7.5VP-P into output state of 15kΩ in parallel with the feedback resis- 100Ω, while operating on ±5V supplies or 2.6VP-P on a tors.

This can be done in one of feedback components. When the output is loaded with as two ways: single termination or double termination. With little as 1kΩ from the amplifier’s feedback resistors, the single termination, the cable must be terminated at the amplifier shuts off in 400ns. This shutoff can be under the receiving end (75Ω to ground) to absorb unwanted control of HC CMOS operating between 0V and – 5V. 8
