input. Assuming a 75Ω source impedance for the signal
driving VIN, the Thevenin equivalent signal arriving at
A1’s positive input is 3V + 0.4VIN, with a source imped-
ance of 714Ω. The combination of these two inputs gives
anoutputatthecathodeofD2of2•VIN withnoadditional
DC offset. The 75Ω back termination resistor R9 halves
the signal again such that VOUT equals a buffered version
of VIN.
The LT1395 can be used with a single supply voltage of
6V or more to drive ground-referenced RGB video. In
Figure6,two1N4148diodesD1andD2havebeenplaced
in series with the output of the LT1395 amplifier A1 but
within the feedback loop formed by resistor R8. These
diodes effectively level-shift A1’s output downward by 2
diodes, allowing the circuit output to swing to ground.
It is important to note that the 4.7µF capacitor C1 has
been added to provide enough current to maintain the
voltage drop across diodes D1 and D2 when the circuit
outputdropslowenoughthatthediodesmightotherwise
turn off. This means that this circuit works fine for
continuousvideoinput, butwillrequirethatC1chargeup
after a period of inactivity at the input.
Amplifier A1 is used in a positive gain configuration. The
feedbackresistorR8is255Ω.Thegainresistoriscreated
from the parallel combination of R6 and R7, giving a
Thevenin equivalent 63.5Ω connected to 3.75V. This
gives an AC gain of +5 from the noninverting input of
amplifier A1 to the cathode of D2. However, the video
input is also attenuated before arriving at A1’s positive
