The LM2476 operates with 85V and 8V power supplies. The part is housed in the 19lead TO-220 molded plastic power package. The pinout and internal connection diagram is shown in . The CRT Driver circuit diagram is shown in . The PNP emitter follower, Q5, provides input buffering. Q1 and Q2 form a fixed gain cascode amplifier with resistors R1 and R2 setting the gain at −27. Emitter followers Q3 and Q4 isolate the high output impedance of the cascode stage from the capacitance of the CRT cathode which decreases the sensitivity of the device to load capacitance. Q6 provides biasing to the output emitter follower stage to reduce crossover distortion at low signal levels. The typical driver DC transfer function is shown in Figure 4. The Bias Clamp circuit diagram is shown in Figure 2. The clamp circuit amplifies the DC inputs, VINC, by the internally fixed gain of –16.5. Each clamp output, VOUTC, will require a pull-up resistor to VCC. The typical clamp DC transfer function is shown in Figure 5.

The following information is provided in order to support this commitment. The reader should be aware that the optimization of performance was done using a specific printed circuit board designed at TI. Variations in performance can be realized due to physical changes in the printed circuit board and the application. Therefore, the designer should know that component value changes may be required in order to optimize performance in a given application. The values shown in this document can be used as a starting point for evaluation purposes. When working with high bandwidth circuits, good layout practices are also critical to achieving maximum performance. IMPORTANT INFORMATION The LM2476 performance is targeted for the VGA (640 x 480) to XGA (1024 x 768, 85Hz) resolution market. The application circuits shown in this document to optimize performance and to protect against damage from CRT arcover are designed specifically for the LM2476. If another member of the TI CRT Driver or Bias Clamp family is used, please refer to its data sheet. POWER SUPPLY BYPASS Since the LM2476 contains wide bandwidth video amplifiers, proper power supply bypassing is critical for optimum performance. Improper power supply bypassing can result in large overshoot, ringing or oscillation. 0.1 µF capacitors should be connected from the supply pins, VCC and VBB, to ground, as close to the LM2476 as is practical. Additionally, a 47 µF or larger electrolytic capacitor should be connected from both supply pins to ground reasonably close to the LM2476. For optimal supply bypassing, the bypass capacitors should have the shortest connections between the supply and ground pins of the LM2476. ARC PROTECTION During normal CRT operation, internal arcing may occasionally occur. A spark gap SG1 – in the range of 200V – connected from each of the CRT cathodes to CRT ground will limit the maximum voltage, but to a value that is much higher than allowable on the LM2476. This fast, high voltage, high energy pulse can damage the LM2476 driver and/or clamp output stages. The application circuit shown in Figure 11 is designed to help clamp the voltage at the outputs of the LM2476 to a safe level. The arc protection clamp diodes, D1 and D2, should have a fast transient response, high peak current rating, low series impedance and low shunt capacitance. FDH400 or equivalent diodes are recommended. Do not use 1N4148 diodes for the clamp diodes. D1 and D2 should have short, low impedance connections to VCC and ground respectively. The cathode of D1 should be located very close to a separately decoupled bypass capacitor (C1 in Figure 11). The ground connection of D2 and the decoupling capacitor should be closest to the CRT ground. This will significantly reduce the high frequency voltage transients that the LM2476 would be subjected to during an arcover condition. Resistor R2 limits the arcover current that is seen by the diodes while R1 limits the current into the LM2476 as well as the voltage stress at the outputs of the device. R2 should be a ½W solid carbon type resistor. R1 can be a ¼W metal or carbon film type resistor. Having large value resistors for R1 and R2 would be desirable, but this has the effect of increasing rise and fall times. Inductor L1 is critical to reduce the initial high frequency voltage levels that the LM2476 would be subjected to. The inductor will not only help protect the device but it will also help minimize rise and fall times as well as minimize EMI. Current-limiting resistor R3 and bypass capacitor C2 should be placed very close to the clamp output pins to protect the LM2476 against damage during an arcover condition. The ground connection of C2 should have a short return path to CRT ground to shunt arcover currents away from the LM2476. For proper arc protection, it is important to not omit any of the arc protection components shown in Figure 11. 8 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2004–2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM2476 OBSOLETE LM2476 www.ti.com SNOSAH7B – JANUARY 2004 – REVISED APRIL 2013 +8V + 47 PF +85V 0.1 PF 0.1 PF 2 14 VBB 1, 3, 4 6, 7, 8 VOUTC VINC R1 L1 100: 0.33 PH D2 GND R2 9, 11, 13 Cathode R3 470: 0.1 PF 330 k: 15, 17, 19 LM2476 1 k: Clamp In VOUTD VIND C1 0.1 PF 47 PF D1 VCC 100: Video In + 1 PF NP 33: D3 SG1 C2 0.1 PF 5, 10, 12, 16, 18 Figure 11. One Channel of the LM2476 with the Recommended Application Circuit OPTIMIZING TRANSIENT RESPONSE Referring to Figure 11, there are three components (R1, R2 and L1) that can be adjusted to optimize the transient response of the application circuit. Increasing the values of R1 and R2 will slow the circuit down while decreasing overshoot. Increasing the value of L1 will speed up the circuit as well as increase overshoot. It is very important to use inductors with very high self-resonant frequencies, preferably above 300 MHz. Ferrite core inductors from J.W. Miller Magnetics (part # 78FR--k) were used for optimizing the performance of the device in the NSC application board. The values shown in Figure 13 can be used as a good starting point for the evaluation of the LM2476. Using a variable resistor for R1 will simplify finding the value needed for optimum performance in a given application. Once the optimum value is determined, the variable resistor can be replaced with a fixed value. EFFECT OF OFFSET Figure 7 shows the variation in rise and fall times when the output offset of the device is varied from 50 to 60VDC. The rise time shows a maximum variation of 13% relative to the center data point (55 VDC). The fall time shows a maximum variation of less than 3% relative to the center data point. EFFECT OF LOAD CAPACITANCE Figure 8 shows the effect of increased load capacitance on the speed of the device. This demonstrates the importance of knowing the load capacitance in the application. THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS Figure 9 shows the performance of the LM2476 in the test circuit shown in Figure 3 as a function of case temperature (on the device tab). The figure shows that the rise and fall times of the LM2476 increase by approximately 10% and 5%, respectively, as the case temperature increases from 50°C to 100°C. This corresponds to a speed degradation of 2% and 1%, respectively, for every 10°C rise in case temperature. Figure 10 shows the maximum power dissipation of the LM2476 vs. Frequency when all three channels of the device are driving an 8 pF load with a 40 VP-P alternating one pixel on, one pixel off signal. The graph assumes a 72% active time (device operating at the specified frequency) which is typical in a monitor application. The other 28% of the time the device is assumed to be sitting at the black level (75V in this case). This graph gives the designer the information needed to determine the heat sink requirement for his application. The designer should note that if the load capacitance is increased the AC component of the total power dissipation will also increase.

If the maximum expected ambient temperature is 70°C and the maximum power dissipation is about 6W (from Figure 10, 95 MHz bandwidth), then a maximum heat sink thermal resistance can be calculated: RTH = 100°C - 70°C = 5°C/W 6W (1) PACKAGE MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS Mounting of the TO-220 package to a heat sink must be done such that there is sufficient pressure from the mounting screws to insure good contact with the heat sink for efficient heat flow. The surface of the heat sink should be free of contaminants before mounting to insure good contact. Incorrect mounting may lead to both thermal and mechanical problems. Over tightening the mounting screws will cause the package to warp, reducing contact area with the heat sink. Less contact with the heat sink will increase the thermal resistance from the package case to the heat sink (θCS) resulting in higher operating die temperatures. Extreme over tightening of the mounting screws will cause severe physical stress resulting in a cracked or chipped package and possible catastrophic IC failure. The recommended mounting screw size is M3 with a maximum torque of 50 N-cm. It is best to use fiber washers under the screws to distribute the force over a wider area. Additionally, if the mounting screws are used to force the package into correct alignment with the heat sink, package stress will be increased. This increase in package stress will result in reduced contact area with the heat sink increasing die operating temperature and possible catastrophic IC failure. TYPICAL APPLICATION 10V/DIV A typical application of the LM2476 is shown in Figure 13. Used in conjunction with an LM123X/4X preamplfier, a complete video channel from monitor input to CRT cathode can be achieved. Performance is ideal for 1024 x 768 resolution displays with pixel clock frequencies up to 95 MHz. Please see the next two sections below for hints on how to properly evaluate the LM123X/4X and LM2476 combination in a monitor. Figure 12 shows the typical cathode response for this application.

Also, the length of the video signal traces from the preamplifier to the LM2476 and from the LM2476 to the CRT cathodes should be as short as possible. The following references are recommended: Ott, Henry W., “Noise Reduction Techniques in Electronic Systems”, John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1976. “Video Amplifier Design for Computer Monitors”, TI Application Note 1013. Pease, Robert A., “Troubleshooting Analog Circuits”, Butterworth-Heinemann, 1991. Because of its high small signal bandwidth, the part may oscillate in a monitor if feedback occurs around the video channel through the chassis wiring. To prevent this, leads to the video amplifier input circuit should be shielded, and input circuit wiring should be spaced as far as possible from output circuit wiring. TI DEMONSTRATION BOARD Figure 13 is the schematic for the TI LM1276/3X/4X_2476 Demonstration PCB that can be used to evaluate the LM1276, LM123X, or LM124X preamp with the LM2476 in a monitor. Figure 14 shows the routing and component placement on the TI Demonstration PCB. This board provides a good example of a layout that can be used as a guide for future layouts. Note the location of the following components: • C26—VCC bypass capacitor, located very close to Pin 14 and GND Pins • C27—VBB bypass capacitors, located close to Pin 2 and GND Pins • C28, C30, C33—VCC bypass capacitors, near LM2476 and VCC clamp diodes. These are very important for arc protection. The routing of the LM2476 driver outputs to the CRT is very critical to achieving optimum performance. Figure 15 shows the routing and component placement from Pin 17 of the LM2476 to the Red cathode. Note that the components are placed so that they almost line up from the output pin of the LM2476 to the Red cathode pin of the CRT connector. This is done to minimize the length of the video path between these two components for optimal performance and to minimize EMI. Note also that L4, D9, D13 and R23, R19, D10 are placed to minimize the size of the video nodes that they are attached to. This minimizes parasitic capacitance in the video path and also enhances the effectiveness of the protection diodes. The anode of protection diode D13 is connected directly to a section of the ground trace that has a short and direct path to CRT ground to shunt arcover current away from the LM2476. The cathode of D9 is connected to VCC very close to decoupling capacitor C30 (see Figure 15) which is connected to the same section of the ground trace as D13. The diode placement and routing is very important for minimizing the voltage stress on the LM2476 during an arcover event. R37 and C29 are placed very close to the clamp output on Pin 11. These components will help limit the current and voltage stress to the clamp output. Lastly, notice that S2 is placed very close to the Red cathode and is connected directly to CRT ground.
