Note 1:
V
CC
supply pins 1, 13, 23, 28 must be externally wired together to prevent internal damage during V
CC
power on/off cycles.
Note 2:
These parameters are guaranteed and 100% production tested.
Note 3:
Design limits are guaranteed (but not 100% production tested). These limits are not used to calculate outgoing quality levels.
Note 4:
When measuring video amplifier bandwidth or pulse rise and fall times, a double sided full ground plane printed circuit board without socket is recommend-
ed. Video Amplifier 10 MHz isolation test also requires this printed circuit board.
Note 5:
Measure gain difference between any two amplifiers. V

Note 6:
Adjust input frequency from 10 kHz (Av

ref level) to the
b
3 dB corner frequency (f

3 dB).
Note 7:
Measure output levels of the other two undriven amplifiers relative to driven amplifier to determine channel separation. Terminate the undriven amplifier
inputs to simulate generator loading. Repeat test at f

Note 8:
D
Av track is a measure of the ability of any two amplifiers to track each other and quantifies the matching of the three attenuators. It is the difference in
gain change between any two amplifiers with the Contrast Voltage V12 at either 5V or 2V measured relative to an Av max condition V12
e
12V. For example, at
Av max the three amplifiers gains might be 17.4 dB, 16.9 dB, and 16.4 dB and change to 7.3 dB, 6.9 dB, and 6.5 dB respectively for V12
e
5V. This yields the
measured typical
g
0.1 dB channel tracking.
Note 9:
Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is functional. See Electrical Specifications for guaranteed performance limits.
