The BH768xx series video drivers are the optimum solution for high density integration systems such as, digital still
cameras, mobile phones, and portable video devices. A built-in charge pump circuit eliminates the need for a large output
coupling capacitor. Features include: a built-in LPF, low-voltage (2.5 V) operation, and 0 µA current consumption during
standby mode.
●Features
1) Select from four video driver amp gain settings: 6 dB, 9 dB, 12 dB, and 16 dB
2) Large-output video driver with maximum output voltage of 5.2 Vpp.
Supports wide and low-voltage operation range.
3) No output coupling capacitor is needed, which makes for a more compact design
4) Built-in standby function sets circuit current to 0 µA (typ.) during standby mode
5) Clear image reproduction by on-chip 8-order 4.5-MH
6) Bias input method is used to support chroma, video, and RGB signals.
7) MSOP8 compact package
●Applications

Fig.3 Fig.4
When the amplifier operates using single voltage power supply, the operating potential point is approximately 1/2 Vcc.
Therefore, a coupling capacitor is required to prevent DC output. For the video driver, the load resistance is 150 (75
+ 75 ). Therefore, the coupling capacitor should be about 1000 µF when a low bandwidth for transmission is considered.
(See Figure 3.)
When the amplifier operates using a dual (±) power supply, the operating point can be set at GND level, and therefore,
there is no need for a coupling capacitor to prevent DC output.
Since a coupling capacitor is not needed, there is no sagging of low-frequency characteristics in output stage. (See Figure
4.)
2) Generation of negative voltage by charge pump circuit
As is shown in Figure 5, the charge pump consists of a pair of switches (SW1 and SW2) and a pair of capacitors (flying
capacitor and load capacitor), generating a negative voltage. When +3 V is applied to this IC, approximately -2.83 V of
negative voltage is obtained.
As is shown in Figure 6, in the BH768xxFVM Series, a dual power supply amplifier is integrated with a charge pump circuit
in the same IC. This enables operation using a + 3V single power supply while also using a dual power supply amplifier,
which eliminates the need for an output coupling capacitor.

2) Input terminal type and sag characteristics
BH768xxFVM Series devices provide both a low-voltage video driver and a large dynamic range (approximately 5.2 Vpp).
A resistance termination method (150 k termination) is used instead of the clamp method, which only supports video
signals, since it supports various signal types.
The BH768xxFVM series supports a wide range of devices such as, video signals, chroma signals, and RGB signals that
can operate normally even without a synchronization signal.
In addition, input terminating resistance (150 k) can use a small input capacitor without reducing the sag low-band
It is recommended to use a H-bar signal when evaluating sag characteristics, since it makes sag more noticeable. (See
Figures 7 to 10.)
