The EL4543 is a high bandwidth triple differential amplifier with integrated encoding of video sync signals. The inputs are suitable for handling high speed video or other communications signals in either single-ended or differential form, and the common-mode input range extends all the way to the negative rail enabling ground-referenced signalling in single supply applications. The high bandwidth enables differential signalling onto standard twisted-pair or coax with very low harmonic distortion, while internal feedback ensures balanced gain and phase at the outputs reducing radiated EMI and harmonics.
Embedded logic encodes standard video horizontal and vertical sync signals onto the common mode of the twisted pair(s), transmitting this additional information without the requirement for additional buffers or transmission lines. The EL4543 enables significant system cost savings when compared with discrete line driver alternatives.
The EL4543 is designed to differentially drive composite RGB video signals onto twisted pair lines, while simultaneously encoding horizontal and vertical sync signals as common mode output. The entire video signal plus sync can therefore be transmitted on 3 twisted pairs of wire. When utilizing CAT5 cable, the 4th available twisted pair can be used for transmission of audio, data or control information. The distribution of composite video over standard CAT5 cable enables enormous cost and labor savings compared with traditional coaxial cable, when considering both the relative low price and ease of pulling CAT5 cable.
The EL4543 provides three fully differential high-speed amplifiers, suitable for driving high-resolution composite video signals on
