Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary function of the LM2202?

It is a high frequency video amplifier system designed for brightness control in high resolution monochrome or RGB color monitor applications.

How can I improve color accuracy using multiple units?

You can easily parallel three LM2202s and use them with a color controlled attenuator that is pinned out separately.

What are the operating voltage requirements?

The recommended supply voltages range from 8V to 13.2V; it can operate down to 8V, though this is lower than the typical 12V usage.

How wide is the video signal bandwidth?

The device provides a very high-frequency video amplifier system operating up to 230 MHz (-3dB).

What are the limits for physical mounting/heat dissipation?

Its Thermal Resistance (θ JA) is 68°C/W in the N package, and it can dissipate 1.56W at 25˚C when using a 1.5k resistor.
