Theory of Operation
The LM2452 is a high voltage monolithic three channel CRT
driver suitable for DTV applications. The LM2452 operates
with 220V and 12V power supplies. The part is housed in a
15-lead TO-247 molded plastic power package with thin
leads for improved metal-to-metal spacing.
The circuit diagram of the LM2452 is shown in Figure 2 . The
PNP emitter follower, Q5, provides input buffering. Q1 and
Q2 form a fixed gain cascode amplifier with resistors R1 and
R2 setting the gain at −54. An additional cascode amplifier is
formed by Q7 and Q2. Gain of this stage is set to — 26 by
resistors R1 and R10. Q8 provides the input buffering for this
input. Q2 now becomes the summing point for both V
V
impedance of the cascode stage from the capacitance of the
CRT cathode, which decreases the sensitivity of the device
to load capacitance. Q6 provides biasing to the output emit-
ter follower stage to reduce crossover distortion at low signal
levels.
Figure 3 shows a typical test circuit for evaluation of the
LM2452. This circuit is designed to allow testing of the
LM2452 in a 50Ω environment without the use of an expen-
sive FET probe. In this test circuit, the two 4.99 kΩ resistors
form a 400:1 wideband, low capacitance probe when con-
nected to a 50Ω coaxial cable and a 50Ω load (such as a
50Ω oscilloscope input). The input signal from the generator
is AC coupled to the video inputs of the LM2452.
Application Hints
INTRODUCTION
National Semiconductor (NSC) is committed to provide ap-
plication information that assists our customers in obtaining
the best performance possible from our products. The fol-
lowing information is provided in order to support this com-
mitment. The reader should be aware that the optimization of
performance was done using a specific printed circuit board
designed at NSC. Variations in performance can be realized
due to physical changes in the printed circuit board and the
application. Therefore, the designer should know that com-
ponent value changes may be required in order to optimize
performance in a given application. The values shown in this
document can be used as a starting point for evaluation
purposes. When working with high bandwidth circuits, good
layout practices are also critical to achieving maximum per-
formance.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The LM2452 performance is targeted for the HDTV market.
The application circuits shown in this document to optimize
performance and to protect against damage from CRT arc
over are designed specifically for the LM2452. If another
member of the LM245X family is used, please refer to its
datasheet.
POWER SUPPLY BYPASS
Since the LM2452 is a wide bandwidth amplifier, proper
power supply bypassing is critical for optimum performance.
Improper power supply bypassing can result in large over-
shoot, ringing or oscillation. 0.1 µF capacitors should be
connected from the supply pins, V
close to the LM2452 as is practical. Additionally, a 22 µF or
larger electrolytic capacitor should be connected from both
supply pins to ground reasonably close to the LM2452.

ARC PROTECTION
During normal CRT operation, internal arcing may occasion-
ally occur. This fast, high voltage, high-energy pulse can
damage the LM2452 output stage. The application circuit
shown in Figure 13 is designed to help clamp the voltage at
the output of the LM2452 to a safe level. The clamp diodes,
D1 and D2, should have a fast transient response, high peak
current rating, low series impedance and low shunt capaci-
tance. 1SS83 or equivalent diodes are recommended. D1
and D2 should have short, low impedance connections to
V
located very close to a separately decoupled bypass capaci-
tor (C3 in Figure 13 ). The ground connection of D2 and the
decoupling capacitor should be very close to the LM2452
ground. This will significantly reduce the high frequency
voltage transients that the LM2452 would be subjected to
during an arc over condition. Resistor R2 limits the arc over
current that is seen by the diodes while R1 limits the current
into the LM2452 as well as the voltage stress at the outputs
of the device. R2 should be a
R1 can be a
large value resistors for R1 and R2 would be desirable, but
this has the effect of increasing rise and fall times. Inductor
L1 is critical to reduce the initial high frequency voltage
levels that the LM2452 would be subjected to before the
clamp diodes have a chance to became activated. The
inductor will not only help protect the device but it will also
help minimize rise and fall times as well as minimize EMI.
For proper arc protection, it is important to not omit any of the
arc protection components shown in Figure 13 .
Arc protection includes the V
puts. Ferrite beads shown as FB1 and FB2 in Figure 14 must
be included for proper arc protection of the power supply
inputs. These ferrite beads do need to be located close to
the bypass capacitors that were covered in the previous
section, “Power Supply Bypass”.
EFFECT OF LOAD CAPACITANCE
Figure 7 shows the effect of increased load capacitance on
the speed of the device. This demonstrates the importance
of knowing the load capacitance in the application. Increas-
ing the load capacitance from 10 pF to 20 pF adds about
9 ns to the rise and fall times. It is very important to keep the
board capacitance as low as possible to maximize the speed
of the driver.
EFFECT OF OFFSET
Figure 8 shows the variation in rise and fall times when the
black level of the device is varied from 180V to 200V
rise time increases only about 2ns as the offset is increased
