APPLICATION NOTES
POWER SUPPLIES
VIDEO INPUTS
The input stage of the MSK 1911 requires power supplies of
+10V and -10.5V for optimum operation. The negative power
supply can be increased to -12V if -10.5V is not available, but
additional power dissipation will cause the internal temperature
to rise. Both low voltage power supplies should be effectively
decoupled with tantalum capacitors (at least 1µF) connected
as close to the amplifiers pins as possible. The MSK 1911 has
internal 0.01µF capacitors that also improve high frequency
performance. Additionally, it is also recommended to put 0.1µF
decoupling capacitors on the +10V and -10.5V supplies as
well.
The video input signals should be kept below ±2VMAX total
including both common mode offset and signal levels. The
input structure of the MSK 1911 was designed for ±0.714Vpp
RS343 signals. If either input is not used it should be connected directly to the analog ground or through a 25Ω resistor
to ground if input offset currents are to be minimized.
OUTPUT PROTECTION
The output pin of the MSK 1911 can be protected from transients by connecting reversed biased ultra-low capacitance diodes from the output pin to both +VHV and ground. The output can also be protected from arc voltages by inserting a small
value (50-100Ω) resistor in series with the amplifier. This resistor will reduce system bandwidth along with the load capacitance, but a series inductor can reduce the problem substantially.
The high voltage power supply (+VHV) is connected to the
amplifiers output stage and must be kept as stable as possible.
The internal Rp is connected to +VHV and as such, the amplifiers DC output is directly related to the high voltage value. The
+VHV pin of the hybrid should be decoupled to ground with as
large a capacitor as possible to improve output stability.
VGAIN CONTROL INPUT
The VGAIN control (contrast) input is designed to allow the
user to vary the video gain. By simply applying a DC voltage
from 0V to VREF, the video gain can be linearly adjusted from 0
to 100V/V. The VGAIN input should be connected to the VREF
pin through a 5kΩ pot to ground. For convenient stable gain
adjustment, a 0.1µF bypass capacitor should be connected near
the VGAIN input pin to prevent output instability due to noisy
sources. Digital gain control can be accomplished by connecting a D/A converter to the VGAIN pin. However, some temperature tracking performance may be lost when using an external
DC voltage source other than VREF for gain adjustment.
SUPPLY SEQUENCING
The power supply sequence is +VHV, VCC, VEE followed by
the other DC control inputs. If power supply sequencing is not
possible, the time difference between each supply should be
less than five milliseconds. If the DC control signals are being
generated from a low impedance source other than the VREF
output, reverse biased diodes should be connected from each
input (VGAIN, VOFF) to the +VCC pin. This will protect the
inputs until +VCC is turned off.
The overall video output of the MSK 1911 can be characterized using the following expression:
VIDEO OUTPUT
Vpp=VHV-VOUT
When power is first applied and VIN=VGAIN=VOFF=0V, the
output will be practically at the +VHV rail voltage. The output
voltage is a function of the value of Rp and also the VGAIN and
VOFF DC inputs. The bandwidth of the amplifier largely depends on both Rp and Lp. With +VHV set to +70V and total
Rp=200Ω (internal), the device is capable of approximately
62Vpp total output swing.
VHV-VOUT=(VIN)(VGAIN)(Rp)(0.08)
Here is a sample calculation for the MSK1911:
Given information
VIN=0.7V
VGAIN=1VDC
Rp=200Ω (internal)
VHV=70VDC
VHV-VOUT=(0.7V)(1V)(.08)(200Ω)
VHV-VOUT=11.2Vpp Nominal
Hybrid pin 13 is directly connected to Rp. Additional external resistance can be added to reduce power dissipation, but
slower transition times will result. If an additional resistor is
used, it must be low capacitance and the layout should minimize capacitive coupling to ground (ie: no ground plane under
Rp).
The expected video output would swing from approximately
+70V to +58.8V assuming that VOFF=0V. This calculation
should be used as a nominal result because the overall gain
may vary as much as ±10% due to internal high speed device
variations. Changing ambient conditions can also effect the
video gain of the amplifier slightly. It is wise to connect all
video amplifiers to a common heat sink to maximize thermal
tracking when multiple amplifiers are used in applications such
as RGB systems. Additionally, only one of the VREF outputs
should be shared by all three amplifiers. This voltage should
be buffered with a suitable low-drift op-amp for best tracking
performance.
The MSK 1911 is conservatively specified with low values
for external Lp which yield about 5% overshoot. Additional
peaking can be obtained by using a high self-resonant frequency
inductor in series with +VHV pin. Since this value of inductance can be very dependent on circuit layout, it is best to
determine its value by experimentation. A good starting point
is typically 0.47µH for the MSK 1911.
If external resistors or inductors are not used, be sure to
connect high frequency bypass capacitors directly from pin 13
to ground.

APPLICATION NOTES CON'T
VOFF CONTROL INPUT
TRANSITION TIME MINIMIZATION
The brightness (output offset) can be linearly adjusted by
applying a 0 to VREF DC voltage to the VOFF input pin. The
output quiescent voltage range is from approximately
(10mA)(200Ω) to (100mA)(200Ω) from +VHV. This control
voltage is normally generated by connecting the VOFF control
pin to a 5K potentiometer between VREF and ground. The VOFF
input pin should be bypassed with a 0.1µF capacitor to ground
placed as close as possible to the hybrid. This DC voltage can
be any stable system source.
To achieve transition times of less than 3 nS with the MSK
1911, all stray and intrinsic capacitances must be compensated
for. Two external inductors can accomplish this task easily.
(Refer to the figure below). The 200Ω resistor (Rp) and the
capacitance of the output driver collector form a high frequency
pole which limits the rise and fall time. To compensate for this
effect, the series inductor (Lp) is placed in the circuit between
the internal Rp and +VHV. A good starting value for this inductor is typically 100nH. Since all applications are slightly different, it is likely that the designer will need to select this inductor
value to achieve the desired response. The second inductor
(L2) is only necessary when a series CRT isolation resistor (Rs)
is used. An inductor in the range of 30nH is placed in series
with the resistor to compensate for the pole formed by the
resistor and the CRT capacitance. The value of this inductor
may be varied as well for optimum response time.
Keep hybrid power dissipation in mind when adjusting the
output quiescent voltage. Practically all of the voltage is seen
across Rp. This power must be taken into account when high
Rp currents are used. If the quiescent level is set almost to
+VHV, the power dissipation will be minimal but the rise time
will suffer somewhat. If the quiescent level is set too far from
+VHV, the power dissipation will increase dramatically and the
output fall time will be limited. The output black level is obviously dependent on system requirements but a little experimentation will strike the optimum balance between power dissipation and bandwidth. Total current through Rp should be limited
to less than 370mA when operating from power supplies greater
than 65V. The gain adjust alone can set the AC current to
250mA (ie: 250mApp=50Vpp/200Ω).
THERMAL MANAGEMENT
The MSK 1911 package has mounting holes that allow the
user to connect the amplifier to a heat sink or chassis. Since
the package is electrically isolated from the internal circuitry,
mounting insulators are not required or desired for best thermal
performance.
The power dissipation of the amplifier depends mainly on
the load requirements, bandwidth, pixel size, black level and
the value of Rp. The following table illustrates an example:
BLANK INPUT
The video input can be electrically disconnected from the
amplifier by applying a TTL high input to the blank pin. When
this occurs, the output will be set to approximately +VHV. The
VGAIN and VOFF control pins have little or no effect on the output when it is in blank mode.
When the TTL compatible blank input is not used, the pin
must be connected to ground to enable the amplifier. The blank
input will float high when left unconnected which will disable
the video.

TYPICAL CONNECTION CIRCUIT
The connection circuit shown above is for the MSK 1911. Lp is an optional external component and must not be
located near ground planes if possible. Use an inductor with a high self-resonant frequency that can withstand the
currents required for the application. The ferrite beads should be located as close to the DUT as possible. Fare-Rite
Corporation P/N 2743001111 beads work well for most applications. For additional applications information, please
contact the factory. Evaluation amplifiers with test boards are readily available from M.S.Kennedy Corp.
