The LT
®
6554 is a high-speed triple video buffer with an
internally fixed gain of 1. The individual buffers are opti-
mized for performance with a 1k load and feature a
2V
P–P
full signal bandwidth of 400MHz, making them ideal
for driving very high-resolution video signals. Separate
power supply pins for each amplifier boost channel sepa-
ration to 90dB, allowing the LT6554 to excel in many high-
speed applications.
While the performance of the LT6554 is optimized for dual
supply operation, it can also be used on a single supply as
low as 4.5V. Using dual 5V supplies, each amplifier draws
only 8mA. When disabled, the amplifiers draw less than
100µA and the outputs become high impedance. Further-
more, the amplifiers are capable of turning on in less than
50ns, making them suitable for multiplexing and portable
applications.
The LT6554 is manufactured on Linear Technology’s
proprietary low voltage complementary bipolar process
and is available in the 16-lead SSOP package that fits in the
same PCB area as an SO-8 package.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
This parameter is guaranteed to meet specified performance
through design and characterization. It is not production tested.
Note 3:
As long as output current and junction temperature are kept below
the Absolute Maximum Ratings, no damage to the part will occur.
Depending on the supply voltage, a heat sink may be required.
Note 4:
The LT6554C is guaranteed functional over the operating
temperature range of –40°C to 85°C.
Note 5:
The LT6554C is guaranteed to meet specified performance from
0°C to 70°C. The LT6554C is designed, characterized and expected to
meet specified performance from –40°C and 85°C but is not tested or QA
sampled at these temperatures. The LT6554I is guaranteed to meet
specified performance from –40°C to 85°C.
Note 6:
The two supply voltage settings for power supply rejection are
shifted from the typical
±V
S
points for ease of testing. The first
measurement is taken at V
+
= 3V, V
–
= –1.5V to provide the required 3V
headroom for the enable circuitry to function with EN, DGND, AGND and
all inputs connected to 0V. The second measurement is taken at V
+
= 8V,
V
–
= –4V.
Note 7:
Large signal bandwidth is calculated from the slew rate:
LSBW = SR/(π • V
P-P
)
Note 8:
Differential gain and phase are measured using a Tektronix
TSG120YC/NTSC signal generator and a Tektronix 1780R video
measurement set. The resolution of this equipment is better than 0.05%
and 0.05°. Nine identical amplifier stages were cascaded giving an
effective resolution of better than 0.0056% and 0.0056°.
Note 9:
Slew rate is 100% production tested on the G channel. Slew rate
of the R and B channels is guaranteed through design and
characterization.
