FMS6346 — Six Channel, 6th-Order SD/HD Video FIlter Driver
The same method can be used for biased signals with the
addi tion of a pull-up resistor to make sure the clamp never
operates. The internal pull-down resistance is 800kΩ
±20%, so the exter nal resistance should be 7.5MΩ to set
the DC level to 500mV. If a pull-up resistance less than
7.5MΩ is desired, an external pull-down can be added
such that the DC input level is set to 500mV.

The same circuits can be used with AC-coupled outputs if
desired, as shown in Figure 17.

NOTE: The video tilt or line time distortion is dominated by
the AC-coupling capacitor. The value may need to be in-
creased beyond 220F to obtain satisfactory operation in
some applications.
Power Dissipation
The FMS6346 output drive confi guration must be consid-
ered when calculating overall power dissipation. Care
must be taken not to exceed the maximum die junction
temperature. The fol lowing example can be used to calcu-
late the FMS6346’s power dissipation and internal tem-
perature rise:

Board layout can affect thermal characteristics. Refer to
the Layout Considerations section for more information.
Layout Considerations
General layout and supply bypassing play major roles in
high-frequency performance and thermal characteristics.
Fairchild offers a demonstration board, FMS6346DEMO,
to guide layout and aid device testing and characteriza-
tion. The FMS6346DEMO is a four-layer board with a full
power and ground plane. Following this layout confi gura-
tion pro vides the optimum performance and thermal char-
acteristics. For best results, follow the steps below as a
basis for high-fre quency layout:
• Include 10F and 0.1F ceramic bypass capacitors
• Place the 10F capacitor within 0.75 inches of the
power pin
• Place the 0.1F capacitor within 0.1 inches of the
power pin
• For multi-layer boards, use a large ground plane to
help dissi pate heat
• For two-layer boards, use a ground plane that extends
beyond the device by at least 0.5 inches
• Minimize all trace lengths to reduce series inductances
Output Considerations
The FMS6346 outputs are DC offset from the input by
150mV. Therefore, V
OUT
= 2•V
IN
DC+150mV. This offset is
required to obtain optimal performance from the output
driver and is held at the minimum value to decrease the
standing DC current into the load. Since the FMS6346
has a 2x (6dB) gain, the output is typically connected via a
75-series back-matching resistor, followed by the 75
video cable. Due to the inherent divide by two of this confi -
guration, the blanking level at the load of the video signal
is always less than 1V. When AC-coupling the output,
ensure that the coupling capacitor of choice passes the
lowest frequency content in the video signal and that line
time distortion (video tilt) is kept as low as possible.
