LM2451

220V Monolithic Triple Channel 12 MHz DC Coupled CRT

DTV Driver

General Description

The LM2451 is a triple channel high voltage DC coupled

CRT driver circuit designed for use in DTV applications. The

IC contains three high input impedance, wide band amplifi-

ers which directly drive the RGB cathodes of a CRT. Each

amplifier has a summing input where the DC level of the

output is controlled by a low voltage DC input voltage. Nor-

mally the DC input voltage is from a DAC. Each channel has

its gain internally set to −54 and can drive CRT capacitive

loads as well as resistive loads present in other applications,

limited only by the package’s power dissipation.

The IC is packaged in a 15-lead TO-247 molded plastic

power package designed specifically to meet high voltage

spacing requirements. See Thermal Considerations section.
