Analog Devices’ Video Amplifiers Integrate Short-to-Battery Protection and Fault Detection for Automotive Video Applications

“Whether you’re running video from a rear-view camera or to a rear-seat display, a video signal chain without adequate fault tolerance is vulnerable to catastrophic failure. That can result in costly and time consuming troubleshooting and repairs,” said Curt Ventola, marketing and applications engineering manager, High-Speed Signal Conditioning group, Analog Devices. “ADI’s new video amplifiers are fully qualified for harsh, demanding automotive applications, where they provide the necessary protection against DC and transient over-voltage, ESD and large common-mode voltages.”



More About the ADA4830-1/-2 Video Difference Amplifiers

The ADA4830-1 and ADA4830-2 high-speed video difference amplifiers are designed for use as receivers of CVBS (Composite Video Blanking and Synchronous) signals in standard-definition PAL/NTSC video applications. In addition to integrated short-to-battery (input) protection up to 18 V on a single 3-V to 5-V supply, the new difference amplifiers include a short-to-battery flag that indicates the presence of a fault condition at the input. The ADA4830-1 and ADA4830-2 also have excellent ESD tolerance to up +8-kV Human Body Model (HBM), a wide input common-mode voltage range that extends to -8.5 V below ground and 55-dB common mode rejection at 7-MHz.



More About the ADA4432-1 and ADA4433-1 Analog Video Filter Amplifiers

The ADA4432-1 (single-ended output) and the ADA4433-1 (differential output) analog video filter amplifiers are designed as transmitters for automotive analog video filtering applications. They feature the same 18-V short-to-battery protection (output), fault flags and +8-kV HBM tolerance as the ADA4830. Additionally, ADI’s new video filter amplifiers feature continuous output short-to-ground protection and excellent video specifications. The ADA4432-1 and ADA4433-1 include a high-order video filter with a -3dB cutoff frequency at 10 MHz and 45-dB of rejection at 27 MHz.
