THEORY OF OPERATION
CORE AMPLIFIER
rail-to-rail op amps that are built on a 0.35 m CMOS process.
combine four highly matched on-chip resistors into a difference
amplifier function. Common-mode range extension at its inputs
is achieved by employing a resistive attenuator. The closed-loop
differential to single-ended gain of the video channel is internally
fixed at 0.50 V/V (6 dB) to ensure compatibility with video
decoders whose input range is constrained to 1 V p-p or less.

where:
VOUT is the voltage at the output pin, VOUT.
VINP and VINN are the input voltages at the INP and INN pins,
respectively.
VREF is the voltage at the VREF pin.
OVERVOLTAGE (SHORT-TO-BATTERY)
PROTECTION
Robust inputs guarantee that sensitive internal circuitry is not
subjected to extreme voltages or currents during a stressful event. A
short-to-battery condition usually consists of a voltage on either
input (or both inputs) that is significantly higher than the power
supply voltage of the amplifier. Duration may vary from a short
transient to a continuous fault.
to 18 V on the inputs. Critical internal nodes are protected from
exposure to high voltages by circuitry that clamps the inputs at a
safe level and limits internal currents. This protection is available
whether the device is enabled or disabled, even when the supply
voltage is removed.
SHORT-TO-BATTERY OUTPUT FLAG
The short-to-battery output flag (STB pin) is functionally
independent of the short-to-battery protection. Its purpose is
to indicate an overvoltage condition on either input. Because
protection is provided passively, it is always available; the flag
merely indicates the presence or absence of a fault condition.
ESD PROTECTION

pins (+VS and GND). These structures provide protection during
