General Description
The
Comlinear
CLC2601 (dual), CLC3601 (triple), and CLC4601 (quad) are
high-performance, current feedback amplifiers. These amplifiers provide
550MHz unity gain bandwidth, ±0.1dB gain flatness to 120MHz, and 1,500V/μs
slew rate, exceeding the requirements of high-definition television (HDTV)
and other multimedia applications. These
Comlinear
high-performance ampli-
fiers also provide ample output current to drive multiple video loads.
The
Comlinear
CLC2601, CLC3601, and CLC4601 are designed to operate
from ±5V supplies. They consume only 5.2mA of supply current per channel.
The combination of high-speed, low-power, and excellent video performance
make these amplifiers well suited for use in many general purpose, high-
speed applications including standard definition and high definition video.
Typical Application - Driving Dual Video Loads
