Description
The TSH173 is a single supply triple video buffer
featuring an internal gain of 6dB and an internal
low pass filter of 8.2MHz cut-off frequency for
each channel to fit with Standard Definition
requirements for video line interfaces.
Another advantage of the TSH173 is its input DC
level shifter to drive the video signal on a 75
video line without any damage to the
synchronization tip, while using a single 5V power
supply with no input capacitor. The DC level
shifter is internally fixed and optimized to keep the
output video signal between low and high output
rails in the best position to improve linearity.
This datasheet gives technical information on
using the TSH173 as a R-G-B, Y-Pb-Pr, or Y-C-
C
VBS driver for video DAC outputs on a video line.
The TSH173 is available in SO8 plastic package.

2. An output current limitation protects the circuit from transient currents. Short-circuits can cause excessive
heating. Destructive dissipation can result from short-circuits on amplifiers.
