LM1203A 150 MHz RGB Video Amplifier System
January 1996
LM1203A
150 MHz RGB Video Amplifier System
General Description
The LM1203A is an improved version of the popular
LM1203 wideband video amplifier system The device is in-
tended for high resolution RGB CRT monitors In addition to
three matched video amplifiers the LM1203A contains
three gated differential input black level clamp comparators
for brightness control and three matched attenuator circuits
for contrast control Each video amplifier contains a gain set
or 鈥樷€楧rive鈥欌€?node for setting maximum system gain or provid-
ing gain trim capability for white balance The LM1203A also
contains a voltage reference for the video inputs The
LM1203A is pin and function compatible with the LM1203
