Product details
Overview
LT1259CS#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual-channel 130MHz current feedback amplifier with independent shutdown pins, designed for high-fidelity video signal distribution across 75Ω coaxial cables. It delivers 60mA output current, 1600V/µs slew rate, and 0.016% differential gain error at 30MHz - enabling clean RGB or composite video cable driving in broadcast and professional AV equipment.
For engineers reviewing the LT1259CS#PBF datasheet, LT1259CS#PBF pinout, LT1259CS#PBF application, or LT1259CS#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±5V to ±15V supply flexibility, 100ns turn-on time, high-impedance shutdown mode (0µA supply current), and SOIC-14 package compatibility with space-constrained video routing PCBs.
Technical Context
The LT1259CS#PBF implements a current feedback architecture with separate inverting and noninverting inputs per channel, enabling wide bandwidth independent of closed-loop gain. Its transresistance-based signal path supports stable operation with 1.1kΩ–1.6kΩ feedback resistors and 150Ω loads.
Each amplifier features an EN pin that places the output in high-impedance state and reduces supply current to ≤3µA when pulled high. Input stage ESD protection limits differential input swing to ±6V, while output saturation remains within ±2.5V on ±5V supplies into 150Ω.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Bandwidth | 130MHz (–3dB, ±12V, AV=2, RL=150Ω) - supports full NTSC/PAL baseband video spectrum without attenuation |
| Slew Rate | 1600V/µs (±15V, RF=1kΩ) - preserves fast edge integrity in square-wave video timing signals |
| Differential Gain/Phase | 0.016% / 0.075° (30MHz, RL=150Ω) - meets SMPTE RP-168 broadcast color fidelity requirements |
| Supply Range | ±2V to ±15V (4V–30V total) - operates from single 5V or split ±12V rails without level-shifting |
| Shutdown Current | ≤3µA per amplifier (VS=±15V, EN=high) - enables zero-power channel muting in MUX applications |
| Output Current | 60mA (short-circuit capable) - drives 75Ω video loads with ≥3.7Vpp swing on ±5V supplies |
| Turn-On/Off Time | 100ns / 40ns (AV=10, ±5V) - allows sub-microsecond RGB channel switching in 2-input MUX designs |
Pinout & Package
LT1259CS#PBF is housed in a 14-lead narrow SOIC (S package) with 1.27mm pitch, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant, θJA = 110°C/W. Pin 1 marked by notch or dot.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (–IN A) | Inverting input, Channel A | Current-summing node for feedback network; requires low-stray-capacitance layout |
| 2 (+IN A) | Noninverting input, Channel A | High-impedance voltage reference point; bias current ≤3µA at 25°C |
| 3 (GND) | Analog ground | Not internally connected; must be externally tied to system ground plane |
| 4 (GND) | Analog ground | Second dedicated ground pin for noise isolation between channels |
| 5 (GND) | Analog ground | Third ground pin; improves PSRR and reduces crosstalk in dual-channel operation |
| 6 (+IN B) | Noninverting input, Channel B | Independent video source input; identical specs to +IN A |
| 7 (–IN B) | Inverting input, Channel B | Separate feedback node; enables independent gain setting per channel |
| 8 (EN A) | Enable control, Channel A | Open-drain compatible; pulls low (≤2V below V+) to activate amplifier |
| 9 (OUT A) | Output, Channel A | Capable of 60mA sink/source; presents 4.4pF + 75kΩ impedance in shutdown |
| 10 (V+) | Positive supply rail | Accepts +2V to +15V; internal regulation ensures stable bias over range |
| 11 (GND) | Analog ground | Fourth ground connection; critical for maintaining CMRR >52dB |
| 12 (V–) | Negative supply rail | Accepts –2V to –15V; offset drift <30µV/°C over operating temperature |
| 13 (OUT B) | Output, Channel B | Electrically isolated from OUT A; crosstalk <–60dB at 10MHz |
| 14 (EN B) | Enable control, Channel B | Independent logic control; enables asynchronous channel gating |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the LT1259CS#PBF for video signal amplification?
The LT1259CS#PBF achieves a –3dB bandwidth of 130MHz under ±12V supply conditions with AV=2 and RL=150Ω, and maintains 0.1dB gain flatness beyond 30MHz - making it suitable for full-spectrum NTSC, PAL, and standard-definition RGB video amplification without equalization.
Does the LT1259CS#PBF support single-supply operation?
Yes, the LT1259CS#PBF supports single-supply operation from +4V to +30V total (e.g., +5V and GND), though its specified performance - including input common-mode range and output swing - is optimized for split-supply configurations such as ±5V or ±12V used in professional video equipment.
How does the shutdown function work on the LT1259CS#PBF?
Each channel of the LT1259CS#PBF has a dedicated EN pin: pulling EN high (≥V+ − 2V) disables the amplifier, reducing supply current to ≤3µA and placing the output in high-impedance state. Pulling EN low (≤2V above V−) enables normal operation with 5mA typical supply current per channel.
Can the LT1259CS#PBF drive 75Ω coaxial cable directly?
Yes, the LT1259CS#PBF is explicitly characterized for 150Ω load (dual-terminated 75Ω cable) with guaranteed differential gain of 0.016% and phase error of 0.075° at 30MHz, meeting SMPTE RP-168 broadcast video specifications - no external termination or buffering is required.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the LT1259CS#PBF in its SOIC-14 package?
The LT1259CS#PBF in the 14-lead narrow SOIC (S package) has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 110°C/W, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table - requiring appropriate copper pour and airflow for continuous 60mA output operation at elevated ambient temperatures.
