The LT6550/LT6551 are 3.3V triple and quad high speed video amplifiers. These voltage feedback amplifiers drive double terminated 50Ω or 75Ω cables and are configured for a fixed gain of 2, eliminating six or eight external gain setting resistors. The LT6550/LT6551 feature 110MHz –3dB bandwidth, high slew rates and fast settling, making them ideal for RGB video processing.The LT6551 quad is designed for single supply operation and the LT6550 triple can be used on either single or split supplies. On a single 3.3V supply, the input voltage range extends from ground to 1.55V and the output swings to within 400mV of the supply voltage while driving a 150Ω load. These features, combined with the ability to accept RGB video signals without the need for AC coupling or level shifting of the incoming signals, make the LT6550/LT6551 an ideal choice for low voltage video applications.Both the LT6550 and LT6551 are available in the small 10-Pin MSOP package and utilize a flow-thru pin out. The small footprint results in a compact high performance video amplifier solution.ApplicationsAutomotive DisplaysLCD and CRT CompatibleRGB AmplifiersCoaxial Cable DriversLow Voltage High Speed Signal ProcessingSet Top Boxes

The LT6557 is a high speed triple video amplifier with an internal fixed gain of 2 and a programmable DC input bias voltage. This amplifier features a 400MHz 2VP-Psignal bandwidth, 2200V/µs slew rate and a unique ability to drive heavy output loads to 0.8V of the supply rails, making the LT6557 ideal for a single 5V supply, wideband video application. With just one resistor, the inputs of all three amplifiers can be programmed to a common voltage level, simplifying and reducing the need for external circuitry in the AC-coupled applications. Without the programmable resistor, the input bias circuit becomes inactive, allowing the use of an external clamp circuit or direct coupled input.The LT6557 has separate power supply and ground pins for each amplifier to improve channel separation and to ease power supply bypassing. The LT6557 provides uncompromised performance in many high speed applications where a low voltage, single supply is required.The LT6557 is available in 16-lead SSOP and 5mm × 3mm DFN packages.ApplicationsLCD Video ProjectorsRGB HD Video AmplifiersCoaxial Cable DriversLow Supply ADC Drivers
