VPA15

The VPA15 is a composite, single.channel, video output amplifier IC for high-resolution monochrome or RGB CRT displays. It is fabricated using hybrid technaIogy and incorporates high-precision FBET and LSBT transistors to provide high output voltages over a wide bandwidth with minimal external components. The single-in-line, metal package reduces EMI and simplifies cixcuit board design.The VPA15 is ideally suited to high-resolution monitors which use a 70 to 90 kHz line frequency. Applications include high-end desk-top publishing monitors, medical monitors and other high-resolution graphics applications.The VPA18 three-channel amplifier is recommended for RGB applications.

Features of the VPA15 are:(1)up to 40 Vpp output; (2)high-precision FBET and LSBT transistors; (3)150 MHz bandwidth;(4)low external component count; (5)metal case reduces EMI; (6)single-in-line package simplifies circuit board design; (7)9-pin.The VPA15 operates from an 70 W supply(typ) and is available in 9-pin SIPs.

The absolute maximum ratings of the VPA15 can be summarized as:(1)supply voltage Vcc max:90 V; (2)bias voltage :15V; (3)power disspation Po:20W; (4)storage temperature range:-20 to 110°C;(5)junction temperature Tj:150°C.Stresses exceeding these listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may inducefailure. Exposureto Absolute Maximum Ratings for extended  periods may  reduce reliability. Functionality at or above these conditions is not implied.The products described in this document are designed, developed and manufactured as contemplated for general use, including without limitation, ordinary industrial use, general office use, personal use, and household use, but are not designed, developed and manufactured as contemplated (1) for any use that includes fatal risks or dangers that, unless extremely high safety is secured, could have a serious effect to the public, and could lead directly to death, personal injury, severe physical damage or other loss (i.e., nuclear reaction control in nuclear facility, aircraft flight control, air traffic control, mass transport control, medical life support system, missile launch control in weapon system), or (2) for any use where chance of failure is intolerable (i.e., submersible repeater and artificial satellite).
