DESCRIPTION
The CVA2403T is a high input impedance wideband triple
amplifier. The device is specifically designed to drive a CRT
featuring a high speed buffer for easy matching to a pre-amplifier,
no crossover distortion for excellent gray scale linearity, external
emitter peaking to maximize the high frequency gain at the cross
hatch pattern and an adjustable gain for ease of use. This
device can drive monitors with resolutions of 1280 X 1024
(interlaced) with pixel frequencies of 220MHz.
The part is housed in the industry standard 11-lead TO-220
molded power pack age. The heat sink is gr ounded.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
The CVA2403T is a high voltage triple CRT driver suitable for
VGA, Super VGA, IBM
®
8514, 1280 x 1024 and 1024 x 768
non-interlaced display applic ations. The CVA2403T features
80V operation. The part is housed in the industry standa rd 11
lead TO-220 mo lded p ower package. The he at sink is flo at in g
and may be grounded for ease of manufacturing and RFI
shielding.
