APPLICATION NOTES
VIDEO INPUTS
The video input signals should be kept below ±2VMAX total,
including both common mode offset and signal levels. The
input structure of the MSK 1922 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.
POWER SUPPLIES
The input stage of the MSK 1922 requires power supplies of
+15V 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 4.7µF) connected
as close to the amplifier's pins as possible. The MSK 1922 has
internal 0.01µF capacitors that also improve high frequency
performance. In any case, it is also recommended to put 0.1µF
decoupling capacitors on the +15V and -10.5V supplies as
well.
OUTPUT PROTECTION
The output pin of the MSK 1922 should 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 (25-50Ω) 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
amplifier's output stage and must be kept as stable as possible.
The internal Rp is connected to +VHV and as such, the amplifier's
DC output is directly related to the high voltage value. The
+VHV pins 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 73V/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. The bandwidth of
the VGAIN input is approximately 1MHz.
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 on.
The overall video output of the MSK 1922 can be characterized using the following expression:
Vpp=VHV-VOUT
VIDEO OUTPUT
VHV-VOUT=(VIN)(VGAIN)(Rp)(0.09)
(or)
Voltage Gain=VOUT/VIN=(VGAIN)(Rp)(0.09)
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 maximum output voltage swing for the
MSK 1922 is determined by (Rp). The bandwidth of the amplifier largely depends on both Rp and Lp.
Here is a sample calculation for the MSK 1922:
Given information
VIN=0.7V
VGAIN=1VDC
Rp=150Ω (internal)
VHV=70VDC
VHV-VOUT=(0.7V)(1V)(150Ω)(0.09)
VHV-VOUT=9.5V Nominal
Hybrid pins 16 and 17 are 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 +60.5 V assuming that VOFF=0V. This calculation
should be used as a nominal result because the overall gain may
vary as much as ±20% due to internal high speed device variations. Changing ambient conditions can also effect the video
gain of the amplifier by as much as 150 PPM/°C. 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 1922 is specified with no external Lp which yields
about 10% overshoot. Additional peaking can be obtained by
using a high self-resonant frequency inductor in series with pins
16 & 17. 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 0.0047µH.
If external resistors or inductors are not used, be sure to
connect high frequency bypass capacitors directly from pins
16 and 17 to ground.

APPLICATION NOTES CON'T
VOFF CONTROL INPUT
BLANK INPUT
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 (5µA)(Rp)
to (100mA)(Rp) 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. The bandwidth of the VOFF pin is approximately
1MHz.
The video input can be electrically disconnected from the
ampliifer 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.
VREF OUTPUT
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 too close to
+VHV, the power dissipation will be minimal but the rise time
will suffer slightly. 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. The gain adjust alone can set the AC
current to 333mA (ie: 333mApp=50Vpp/150Ω). Typically,
most applications use about 5V from +VHV for a black level.
The MSK 1922 has an on board buffered DC zener reference
output. The VREF output is nominally 5.5V DC and has full
temperature test limits of 5.2V to 5.8V DC. This output is
provided for gain and offset adjustment and can source up to
4mA of current.
THERMAL MANAGEMENT
The MSK 1922 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.
