The buffer circuit shown in Figure 18 will drive a back-terminated
75 Ω video line to standard video levels (1 V p-p) with 0.1 dB
gain flatness to 30 MHz with only 0.04° and 0.02% differential
phase and gain at the 4.43 MHz PAL color subcarrier frequency.
This level of performance, which meets the requirements for high
definition video displays and test equipment, is achieved using
only 5 mA quiescent current.

A High Gain, Video Bandwidth, Three Op Amp In Amp
Figure 19 shows a three op amp instrumentation amplifier circuit
that provides a gain of 100 at video bandwidths. At a circuit gain
of 100, the small signal bandwidth equals 18 MHz into a FET
probe. Small signal bandwidth equals 6.6 MHz with a 50 Ω load.
The 0.1% settling time is 300 ns.
Figure 18. A Video Line Driver with a Flatness over
Frequency Adjustment
The input amplifiers operate at a gain of 20, while the output
op amp runs at a gain of 5. In this circuit, the main bandwidth
limitation is the gain/bandwidth product of the output amplifier.
Extra care should be taken while breadboarding this circuit, since
even a couple of extra picofarads of stray capacitance at the com-
pensation pins of A1 and A2 will degrade circuit bandwidth.
