GT4124 CIRCUIT APPLICATIONS
Figure 6 shows a test circuit for the GT4124. It is very similar
to the GT4122 circuit shown in Figure 3.
In this circuit, there are no DC offset adjustments required for
the two video input channels. The 0.5V REFERENCE adjustment
as well as the SPAN, 50% GAIN and CONTROL OFFSET
adjustments are identical to those used on the GT4122 board.
The major difference in this circuit is the need for an active low
STROBE pulse in order to activate the on-board clamp.
The test set up shown, uses a low frequency triangle waveform
for the signal sources, and derives a triggered negative going
pulse from the same generator to act as the STROBE input.
If actual video is used, the STROBE pulse can be obtained
from the output of a sync separator circuit. In either case, the
performance of the clamp can be evaluated using this test
board.
As well, parameters such as Frequency Response, Linearity
and Differential Gain and Phase can be measured. An artwork
for this board is included in this application note.
