CVA1556N
APPLICATION INFORMATION
The CVA1556N is a high voltage triple CRT driver suitable for
VGA, Super VGA, IBM® 8514, 1024 x 768 non-interlaced
display applications. The CVA1556N features 80V operation
and low power dissipation. The part is housed in the industry
standard 8-pin PDIP.
Thermal Considerations
The transfer characteristics of the CVA1556N application
(Figure 2.) are shown in Figure 3. Since this is a class A input
stage, power supply current increases as the input signal
increases and consequently power dissipation also increases.
The CVA1556N can be used without a heat sink. Under white
screen condition, i.e. 25V output, dissipation is 0.6W/channel.
Under gray level conditions CL =12pf, VOUT = 45P-P, the
dissipation is 1.1W/channel.
The CVA1556N maximum load is 600Ω to ground or V+.
The output of CVA1556N is not short circuit proof. Any resistance
to V+ or Ground should be more than 600Ω.
