A driver is typically specified as having a property called
common-mode balance (CMB), longitudinal balance, or
simply line imbalance. Although balance is associated
with the source, it assumes a perfectly balanced, cor-
rectly terminated, differential load. Common-mode bal-
ance is a measure of the ratio between the differential to
the common-mode output in decibels as shown below.
Common-mode balance is dominated by the gain-band-
width product at high frequencies and the output resis-
tance at low frequencies; therefore, it is important to
specify CMB over a frequency range. The receiver-side
balance is determined by the common-mode rejection
ratio (CMRR). The CMRR is usually quite large compared
to the CMB; therefore, the CMB is the limiting factor.
The MAX9546 fault protection insures the driver outputs
survive a short to any voltage from -2V to +16V and are
ESD-protected to ±15kV HBM. Faults are indicated by
an open-drain fault output (FAULT) being asserted low
and requires a pullup resistor from FAULT to V
The MAX9547 receiver is a differential-to-single-ended
converter that removes any common-mode input. The
unique architecture allows the signal gain to be set by
a ratio of two impedances: the user-selected transcon-
ductance element or network (Z
resistance, R
rent gain (K) and the ratio of Z
nals can be bridged with a complex impedance to
provide lead-lag compensation.
The output is essentially a voltage-controlled current
source as shown in Figure 1. The MAX9547 output is a
current proportional to the differential input voltage, and
inversely proportional to the impedance of the user-
selected transconductance network, Z
output provides inherent short-circuit protection for the
output terminal. A differential input voltage applied to the
input terminals causes current to flow in the transconduc-
tance element (Z
rent in the transconductance element is multiplied by the
preset current gain (K) and appears on the output termi-
nal as a current equal to (K) x (V
flows through the load impedance to produce an output
voltage according to the following equation:

The receiver includes an LOS output to indicate a sig-
nal by detecting the presence of H-Sync. This allows
the MAX9547 to be used with monochrome or color
video. LOS is an open-drain output and requires a
