200MHz Single Supply Video Driver With
Charge Pump
The ISL59833 is a revolutionary device that allows true singlesupply operation of video amplifiers. Designed for systems
requiring output swing below ground but lacking a negative
power supply, the ISL59833 generates the required negative
rail internally from a +3.3V power supply. This allows for
DC-accurate coupling of video onto a 75Ω double-terminated
line. The buffers have an integrated 6dB, eliminating the need
for external gain-setting resistors. An external reference
voltage can be applied to the REF pin to shift the analog video
level down by the desired amount.
Features
• Triple single-supply buffer
• Generates negative rail from from single +3.3V supply
• No output DC blocking capacitor needed
• 200MHz -3dB bandwidth
• 50MHz 0.1dB bandwidth
• Fixed gain of 2 output buffer
• Amplifier enable/disable function control
• Outputs are high impedance in power-down mode
• Pb-free plus anneal available (RoHS compliant)

Description of Operation and Application
Information
Theory Of Operation
The ISL59833 is a highly practical and robust marriage of
three high bandwidth, high speed, low power, rail-to-rail
voltage feedback amplifiers with a charge pump to provide a
negative rail without an additional power supply. Designed to
operate with a single supply voltage range from 0V to 3.3V,
the ISL59833 eliminates the need for a split supply with the
incorporation of a charge pump capable of generating a
bottom rail as much as 1.6V below ground for a 4.9V range
on a single 3.3V supply. This performance is ideal for NTSC
video with its negative-going sync pulses.
THE AMPLIFIER
The ISL59833 fabricated on a di-electrically isolated high
speed 5V Bi-CMOS process with 4GHz PNPs and NPN
transistor exceeding 20GHz - perfect for low distortion, low
power demand and high frequency circuits. While the
ISL59833 utilizes somewhat standard voltage mode
feedback topologies, there are many non-standard analog
features providing its outstanding bandwidth, rail-to-rail
operation, and output drive capabilities. The input signal
initially passes through a folded cascode, a topology
providing enhanced frequency response by essentially fixing
the base collector voltage at the junction of the input and
gain stage. The collector of each input device looks directly
into an emitter that is tied closely to ground through a
resistor and biased with a very stable DC source. Since the
voltage of this collector is "locked stable" the effective
bandwidth limiting of the Miller capacitance is greatly
reduced. The signal is then passed through a second fully-

Lower Amp output noise from charge pump
realized differential gain stage and finally through a
proprietary common emitter output stage for improved
rail-to-rail output performance. The result is a highly-stable,
low distortion, low power, and high frequency amplifier
capable of driving moderately capacitive loads with near
rail-to-rail performance.
INPUT OUTPUT RANGE
The three amplifier channels have an input common mode
voltage range from 0.15V below the bottom rail to within
100mV of the positive supply, VS+ pin (Note: bottom rail is
established by the charge pump at negative one half the
positive supply). As the input signal moves outside the
specified range, the output signal will exhibit increasingly
higher levels of harmonic distortion. And of course, as load
resistance becomes lower, the current drive capability of the
device will be challenged and its ability to drive close to each
rail is reduced. For instance, with a load resistance of 1kΩ
the output swing is within a 100mV of the rails, while a load
resistance of 150Ω limits the output swing to within around
300mV of the rails.
AMPLIFIER OUTPUT IMPEDANCE
To achieve near rail-to-rail performance, the output stage of
the ISL59833 uses transistors in the common emitter
configuration, typically producing higher output impedance
than the standard emitter follower output stage. The
exceptionally high open loop gain of the ISL59833 and local
feedback reduces output impedance to less than a 2Ω at low
frequency. However, since output impedance of the device is
exponentially modulated by the magnitude of the open loop
gain, output impedance increases with frequency as the
open loop gain decreases with frequency. This inductive-like
effect of the output impedance is countered in the ISL59833
FN6334.1
March 5, 2007
ISL59833
with proprietary output stage topology, keeping the output
impedance low over a wide frequency range and making it
possible to easily and effectively drive relatively heavy
capacitive loads (see Figure 11).
THE CHARGE PUMP
The ISL59833 charge pump provides a bottom rail up to
1.65V below ground while operating on a 0V to 3.3V power
supply. The charge pump is internally regulated to one-half
the potential of the positive supply. This internal multi-phase
charge pump is driven by a 110MHz differential ring
oscillator driving a series of inverters and charge storage
circuitry. Each series inverter charges and places parallel
adjoining charge circuitry slightly out of phase with the
immediately preceding block. This generates a negative rail
of about -1.6V with a low amplitude ripple voltage from the
charge pump action. Some of this ripple is coupled into the
output signals at a very low amplitude, as seen in Figure 22.
IN+
The ripple on the outputs is typically well below the noise
floor of the signal.
There are two ways to further reduce the output supply
noise:
• Add a 120Ω bead in series between VCC and DVCC. This
reduces the coupling between the charge pump and the
analog amplifier supplies.
• Add a 20pF capacitor between the back load 75Ω resistor
and ground (see “ISL59833 + DC-Restore Solution” on
page 10). This will attenuate frequencies above 100MHz.
The system operates at sufficiently high frequencies that any
related charge pump noise is far beyond standard video
bandwidth requirements. Still, appropriate bypassing
discipline must be observed, and all pins related to either the
power supply or the charge pump must be properly
bypassed. See “Power Supply Bypassing and Printed Circuit
Board Layout” on page 14.

ISL59833
THE VREF PIN
Applying a voltage to the VREF pin simply places that
voltage on what would usually be the ground side of the gain
resistor of the amplifier, resulting in a DC-level shift of the
output signal. Applying 100mV to the VREF pin would apply
a -100mV DC level shift to the outgoing signal. The charge
pump provides sufficient bottom room to accommodate the
shifted signal. VREF may be connected to ground for back
porch at ground.
The ISL59833 buffers the VREF voltage before applying it to
the triple amplifiers, isolating the input from the amplifiers
and allowing it to be driven by moderate-impedance voltage
sources.
THE VEE PIN
The VEE pin is the output pin for the charge pump. A
voltmeter applied to this pin will display the output of the
charge pump. This pin does not affect the functionality of the
part. One may use this pin as an additional voltage source.
Keep in mind that the output of this pin is generated by the
internal charge pump and a fully regulated supply that must
be properly bypassed. We recommend a 0.1µF ceramic
capacitor placed as close to the pin and connected to the
ground plane of the board.
INPUT, OUTPUT AND SUPPLY VOLTAGE RANGE
The ISL59833 is designed to operate with a single supply
voltage range of from 0V to 3.3V. The need for a split supply
has been eliminated with the incorporation of a charge pump
capable of generating a bottom rail as much as 1.6V below
ground, for a 4.9V range on a single 3.3V supply. This
performance is ideal for NTSC video with its negative-going
sync pulses.
VIDEO PERFORMANCE
For good video performance, an amplifier is required to
maintain the same output impedance and the same
frequency and phase response as DC levels are changed at
the output. This is especially difficult when driving a standard
video load of 150Ω because of the change in output current
with changing DC levels. Special circuitry has been
incorporated into the ISL59833 for the reduction of output
impedance variation with the current output. This results in
outstanding differential gain and differential phase
specifications of 0.06% and 0.1°, while driving 150Ω at a
gain of +2. Driving higher impedance loads would result in
similar or better differential gain and differential phase
performance.
YPbPr
YPbPr signals originating from a DVD player requiring three
channels of very tightly-controlled amplifier gain accuracy
present no difficulty for the ISL59833. Specifically, this
standard encodes sync on the Y channel and it is a negativegoing signal, which is easily handled by the ISL59833
without the need for an additional supply as the ISL59833
generates a negative rail placed at negative 1/2 the positive
supply. Additionally, the Pb and Pr are bipolar analog signals
and the video signals are negative-going, and again, easily
handled by the ISL59833.
DRIVING CAPACITIVE LOADS AND CABLES
The ISL59833 (internally-compensated to drive 75Ω cables)
will drive 10pF loads in parallel with 1kΩ with less than 5dB
of peaking. If less peaking is required, a small series resistor,
usually between 5Ω to 50Ω, can be placed in series with the
output. This will reduce peaking at the expense of a slight
closed loop gain reduction. When used as a cable driver,
double termination is always recommended for reflectionfree performance. For those applications, a back-termination
series resistor at the amplifier's output will isolate the
amplifier from the cable and allow extensive capacitive drive.
However, other applications may have high capacitive loads
without a back-termination resistor. Again, a small series
resistor at the output can help to reduce peaking. The
ISL59833 is a triple amplifier designed to drive three
channels; simply deal with each channel separately as
described in this section.
DC-RESTORE
When the ISL59833 is AC-coupled it becomes necessary to
restore the DC reference for the signal. This is accomplished
with a DC-restore system applied between the capacitive
"AC" coupling and the input of the device. Refer to
“ISL59833 + DC-Restore Solution” on page 10.
AMPLIFIER DISABLE
The ISL59833 can be disabled and its output placed in a
high impedance state. The turn-off time is around 25ns and
the turn-on time is around 200ns. When disabled, the
amplifier's supply current is reduced to 80mA typically,
reducing power consumption. The amplifier's power-down
can be controlled by standard TTL or CMOS signal levels at
the EN pin. The applied logic signal is relative to the GND
pin. Letting the EN pin float or applying a signal that is less
than 0.8V above GND will enable the amplifier. The amplifier
will be disabled when the signal at EN pin is 2V above GND.
The VEE charge pump remains active.
NTSC
OUTPUT DRIVE CAPABILITY
The ISL59833 (generating a negative rail internally) is ideally
suited for NTSC video with its accompanying negative-going
sync signals, which is easily handled by the ISL59833
without the need for an additional supply as the ISL59833
generates a negative rail with an internal charge pump
referenced at negative 1/2 the positive supply.
The ISL59833 does not have internal short-circuit protection
circuitry. A short-circuit current of 80mA sourcing and 150mA
sinking for the output is connected half way between the rails
with a 10Ω resistor. If the output is shorted indefinitely, the
power dissipation could easily increase such that the part will
be destroyed. Maximum reliability is maintained if the output

current never exceeds ±40mA, after which the electromigration limit of the process will be exceeded and the part
will be damaged. This limit is set by the design of the internal
metal interconnections.
Where:
VS = Supply voltage
ISMAX = Maximum quiescent supply current
POWER DISSIPATION
VOUT = Maximum output voltage of the application
With the high output drive capability of the ISL59837, it is
possible to exceed the +150°C absolute maximum junction
temperature under certain load current conditions.
Therefore, it is important to calculate the maximum junction
temperature for an application to determine if load conditions
or package types need to be modified to assure operation of
the amplifier in a safe operating area.
RLOAD = Load resistance tied to ground
The maximum power dissipation allowed in a package is
determined according to:
T JMAX – T AMAX
PD MAX = --------------------------------------------Θ JA
(EQ. 1)
Where:
TJMAX = Maximum junction temperature
TAMAX = Maximum ambient temperature
ΘJA = Thermal resistance of the package
The maximum power dissipation actually produced by an IC
is the total quiescent supply current times the total power
supply voltage, plus the power in the IC due to the load, or:
for sourcing:
V OUT i
PD MAX = V S × I SMAX + ( V S – V OUT i ) × ----------------RL i
(EQ. 2)
for sinking:
PD MAX = V S × I SMAX + ( V OUT i – V S ) × I LOAD i
ILOAD = Load current
i = Number of output channels
By setting the two PDMAX equations equal to each other, we
can solve the output current and RLOAD to avoid the device
overheat.
Power Supply Bypassing and Printed Circuit
Board Layout
Strip line design techniques are recommended for the input
and output signal traces. As with any high frequency device,
a good printed circuit board layout is necessary for optimum
performance. Lead lengths should be as short as possible.
The power supply pin must be well bypassed to reduce the
risk of oscillation. For normal single supply operation, where
the VS- pin is connected to the ground plane, a single 4.7µF
tantalum capacitor in parallel with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor
from VS+ to GND will suffice. This same capacitor
combination should be placed at each supply pin to ground if
split-internal supplies are to be used. In this case, the VSpin becomes the negative supply rail.
For good AC performance, parasitic capacitance should be
kept to a minimum. Use of wire-wound resistors should be
avoided because of their additional series inductance. Use
of sockets should also be avoided if possible. Sockets add
parasitic inductance and capacitance can result in
compromised performance. Minimizing parasitic capacitance
at the amplifier's inverting input pin is also very important.
