Product details
Overview
LT1253CS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual current feedback video amplifier optimized for RGB and composite video signal conditioning. It delivers 90MHz bandwidth at ±5V, 0.03% differential gain error and 0.28° differential phase error into 150Ω, enabling high-fidelity analog video transmission in PC-to-workstation cable drivers and broadcast-grade video routing systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT1253CS8#PBF datasheet, LT1253CS8#PBF pinout, LT1253CS8#PBF application, or LT1253CS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-channel isolation (>94dB at 5MHz), ±2V to ±14V supply flexibility, 250V/µs output slew rate at AV = 2, and SOIC-8 package compatibility with standard video layout practices.
Technical Context
The LT1253CS8#PBF implements a current feedback architecture with fully isolated amplifier channels sharing only V+ and V– supply pins-enabling >94dB channel separation at 5MHz. Its transimpedance gain stage and low-impedance output buffer support stable driving of 75Ω coaxial cables and reactive video filters without peaking or instability.
It operates across ±2V to ±14V dual supplies (or 4V to 28V single supply), with input common-mode range extending to within 1.5V of either rail and output swing reaching ±3.7V into 150Ω at ±5V. Thermal design requires attention: θJA = 150°C/W in SOIC-8, limiting max ambient to 59.7°C at ±12V/2VP-P into 150Ω.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Bandwidth | 90MHz at ±5V, AV = 2 - supports full NTSC/PAL baseband video with margin |
| Differential Gain Error | 0.03% at RL = 150Ω, VS = ±5V - meets broadcast video fidelity requirements |
| Differential Phase Error | 0.28° at RL = 150Ω, VS = ±5V - preserves chroma timing integrity |
| Output Slew Rate | 250V/µs at AV = 2 - enables fast settling for 1080i/720p sync pulses |
| Supply Current | 6–11mA per amplifier at ±5V - enables dual-channel operation under 22mA total |
| Channel Separation | 88dB at f = 10MHz - prevents crosstalk between RGB or Y/C channels |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual video amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMH6624MMX/NOPB | Higher bandwidth (1.8GHz), higher supply current (12.5mA/ch), no guaranteed differential phase spec | Better for high-speed ADC/DAC clock buffering; less validated for NTSC/PAL compliance | Choose LMH6624MMX/NOPB when >500MHz small-signal bandwidth is required and video fidelity specs are secondary |
| THS3202D | Lower power (4.5mA/ch), lower slew rate (3000V/µs), fixed ±5V supply only | Optimized for portable video gear; lacks ±2V–±14V flexibility and differential gain/phase characterization | Choose THS3202D for battery-powered applications where supply headroom and thermal envelope are constrained |
Compared with LT1253CS8#PBF, LMH6624MMX/NOPB trades proven NTSC video linearity for raw speed, while THS3202D sacrifices supply flexibility and broadcast-grade error specs for ultra-low power-making LT1253CS8#PBF the balanced choice for cost-sensitive, standards-compliant video infrastructure.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for LT1253CS8#PBF?
The LT1253CS8#PBF has an operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. Its junction temperature must not exceed 150°C, and with θJA = 150°C/W in the SOIC-8 package, ambient temperature must be limited to ≤59.7°C under worst-case ±12V/2VP-P conditions into 150Ω. Derating is required above 70°C ambient.
Does LT1253CS8#PBF support single-supply operation?
Yes, LT1253CS8#PBF supports single-supply operation from 4V to 28V. The input common-mode range extends to within 1.5V of either rail, and output swing reaches ±3.7V into 150Ω at ±5V. For true single-supply use (e.g., +5V only), a DC-bias network is required at inputs and outputs to maintain proper operating point.
What is the channel separation specification for LT1253CS8#PBF?
The LT1253CS8#PBF provides ≥88dB channel separation at 10MHz and >94dB at 5MHz, measured between independent amplifier channels sharing only V+ and V– supply pins. This isolation enables simultaneous RGB signal handling without crosstalk-induced color bleeding or timing skew.
Can LT1253CS8#PBF drive 75Ω coaxial cable directly?
Yes, LT1253CS8#PBF is explicitly characterized for 75Ω loads: it delivers ±3.7V output swing into 150Ω (doubly terminated) and maintains 0.03% differential gain/0.28° phase error. For singly terminated 75Ω cables, external 75Ω series termination at the output is recommended to prevent reflections and preserve flat frequency response.
Is LT1253CS8#PBF pin-compatible with other dual op-amps?
Yes, LT1253CS8#PBF uses the industry-standard dual op-amp pinout in SOIC-8 (Pin 1 = –IN A, Pin 2 = +IN A, Pin 3 = OUT A, Pin 4 = V–, Pin 5 = V+, Pin 6 = OUT B, Pin 7 = +IN B, Pin 8 = –IN B). It is a direct physical replacement for LM13700, LMH6624, and many legacy dual video op-amps in existing PCB layouts.
