Any change in input current will be reflected as change in output voltage swing. A resistor in series with the input will change the CVA6629S into a voltage amplifier. The output is emitter follower with load(capacitive) driven capability. With a true Class AB output stage, the rise and fall time is symmetric. CVA6627S has an internal feedback resistor of 5.7KΩ. In the absence of any input signal, the VOUT DC is set by VOUT (DC) = (1 + RF ) VIN (DC); RB = 250Ω. RB An input resistor RG will set the gain as RF VOUT = ( ) VIN ; RG = gain resistor. RG Input and Transfer Characteristics An input current swing of ±5.2mA causes the output to change by ±25V. A resistor of 390Ω will set the gain to -11. Input pins are internal DC feedback nodes and thus have low impedance. These pins must be fed from a series RC network for high frequency emphasis. The following section will explain how to overcome some of the problems that are typical. 1) Input drive: CVA6629S gives best results when the amplifier is driven by a fast pulse with proper voltage level. Since all pre-amplifiers have output from 0 to 8V, a level shifter is required. Using CVA4402, buffer plus level shifter, this can be easily realized. 2) Smear: For a box pattern with white background, a shadow after the black is called smear. It is due to the tilt of the white level. It can easily be adjusted by adding an RC feedback network (R4, C3). The value of R4 will affect the gain, for CVA6629S, the typical value is 200K. 3) Streaks and overshoot: For a cross-hatch pattern with white background, a whitish line will appear just after the black line, this is called streak. Looking at the waveform it is due to undershoot of the waveform. For a Box pattern with white background, a dark black area just after white is a sign of overshoot. It is due to overshoot of the waveform. Adjusting the value of C2, R1, C1 will get the optimum result. The value of C2 should be kept at minimum for less overshoot, typical is <20pF. Value of R1 should be less than 47 ohms otherwise rise and fall time will suffer. First adjust the overshoot to minimum, keeping value of C1 and R2 to minimum, then adjust the undershoot (Streak) by adjusting C3 again. Since both need to be adjusted together, this may need a few iteration to get to the optimum result. It should be noted here that the output peaking with L1 and R3 is only to overcome the affect of stray capacitance. Keep the value of L1 to minimum, typ 150nH and R, to be 820Ω. The value of L1 depends on the associated capacitance with the board and the cable(if any). CVA6629S is specifically designed to handle extra capacitance associated with the cable(typ. 10pF) assuming the driver is not part of the neck board. The value of R3 should be less than 1K to damped the resonant ringing. The output of CVA6629S is not short circuit proof. Precaution is required. Thermal Characteristics Under normal operating conditions the CVA6629S will dissipate up to 8W. The maximum allowed case temperature is +100oC. To calculate maximum heatsink thermal resistance use the following equation: (100 − 50°) = 2.8°C/W 18W The Thermalloy #11699 is one example of a heatsink that meets this requirement.

Any change in input current will be reflected as change in output voltage swing. A resistor in series with the input will change the CVA6627S in to a voltage amplifier.

Emitter capacitor is included to improve the dynamic performance for large voltage swing. With true Class AB output stage, the rise and fall time is symmetric. CVA6627S has an internal feedback resistor of 5.7KΩ. In the absencs of any input signal, the vout DC is set by Vout (DC) = (1 + RF ) Vin (DC); RB = 250Ω Rb An input resistor RG will set the gain as Vout = ( RF ) Vin ; Rg = gain resistor Rg Input and Transfer characteristics An input current swing of ±4, 4ma causes the output to change by ±25V. A resistor of 430 will set the gain to -13. Input pins are internal dc feedback nodes and thus have low impedance. These pins must be fed from a series RC network for high frequency emphasis. Following section will explain how to overcome some of the problems that are typical. 1) Input drive: CVA6627 gives best results when the amplifer is driven by a fast pulse with proper voltage level. Since all pre-amplieriers have output from 0 to 8V, a level shifter is requried, also most pre-amplifiers cannot drive large capacitive load to drive a buffer is requried. A simple transistor like 25C4693 and a zener with -5V supply can do the job with little affect on the response. 2) Smear: On the monitor for a box pattern with white background a shado after the black is called smear. It is due to tilt of the white level. It can easily be adjusted by adding RC feedback network (R1, C1). The value of R1 will affect the gain, for CVA6627S the typical value is 200K. The value of C1 will be adjusted to get optimum ringing. 3) Streks and overshoot: For a cross-hatch pattern with white backgorund, a whitish line will appear just after the black line, this is called streak. Looking at the wave form it is due to undershoot of the waveform. For a Box pattern with white background a dark black area just after white is a sign of overshoot. It is due to overshoot of the waveform. Adusting the value of C2, R2, C3 will get the optimum result. The value of C2 should be kept at minimum for less overshoot, typical is <20pF. Value of R2 shold be less than 47 ohms otherwise rise and fall time will suffer. First adjust the overhoot to minimum, keeping value of C2 and R2 minimum, then adjust the undershoot(Streak) by adusuting C3 again. Since both need to be adjusted together, this may need few iteration to get to the optimum result. It should be noted here that the output peaking with L and R3 is only to overcome the affect of stray capacitance. Keep the value of L to minimum, typ 150 150nH and R to be 820Ω. The value of L depends on the associated capacitance with the board and the cable(if any).
