Flexibility of the TSH345 for SD and HD signals

The TSH345 is used to drive either high definition video signals up to 30 MHz, or progessive

and interlaced standard definition video signals on 75-ohm video lines. It can drive a large

input DC value is added to the video signal in order to shift the bottom from GND.

The shift is not based on the average of the signal, but is an analog summation of a DC

component to the video signal. Therefore, no input capacitors are required, which provides a

real advantage in terms of cost and board space.

Under these conditions, it is possible to drive the signal in single supply without any

saturation of the driver against the lower rail.

Because half of the signal is lost through output impedance matching, in order to properly

drive the video line, the shifted signal is multiplied by a gain of 2 or +6 dB.
