DESCRIPTION
The CVA3407T contains three high impedance wideband
amplifiers, de signed speci fically to drive a CRT. It features no
crossover distortion for excellent gray scale linearity. This device
can drive monitors with resolutions of 1280 x 1024
(non-interlaced) with pixel frequency of 210MHz.
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 CVA3407T is a high voltage triple CRT driver suitiable to
drive 69kHz, 1280 x 1024 CRT displays. It features a high
impedance input to match any pre-amplifier. The CVA3407T
has a true class AB output stage that results in excellent gray
scale linearity and consisten t EMI per for mance .
As with any high speed amplifier used in CRT display
applications, specific precaution should be taken to get the
required performance. Power supply should be by pass as
close to the device pin as possible. Use 0.01µf very near to
the device and a large capacitor of 10µf or more (preferable
100µf) near the device. A 0.1µf and 10µf should be connected
near the V
pin (#10). Arc protection is very essen tial. Fast
bias
diodes together with the spark gap will achieve sufficient
protection. However, in certain applications depends on the
tubes a high value of resistor is required to reduce the cur rent
into the CVA3407T during arcing. This will result in less than
desireable performance some of which can be restored by
using a peaking inductor at the output pin,
Figure 2
. Another
way to achieve this is by using a RC network at the output of
the device and use a peak ing in duct or at the tube,
The rise and fall time of the CVA3407T may suffer due to
stray capacitances associated with the PC Board and other
components. It can be improved by carefully designing the
PC Board where the output stage and input stage ground path
are seperated. Calogic will assist customers in the layout of

the PC Board that will result in quick EMI passage and better
performance. The output peaking should be used only to
restore the performance loss due to stray capacitances. O ver
peaking will cause excessive ringing that will have better
results but poor EMI. The DC restore circuit is also important
when considering the high frequency performance. Using
CVA4501, DC Bias IC, better results can be obtained and
high frequency pe rfor ma n ce can be maximixed.
THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
Power supply current increases as the input signal increases
and consequen tly po wer dissipat ion also incr ea ses.
The CVA3407T cann ot be used withou t heat sinking.
Figure 4
shows the power dissipated in each channel over the
operating voltage range of the device. Under white screen
conditions, i.e.: 25V output, dissipation increases to 13.2W
total. The CVA3407T case temperature must be maintained
