LM1201 Video Amplifier with Balanced (Bi-Phase) Output

This is a schematic diagram of video amplifier circuit with bi-phase output.  Bi-phase output provides both positive-going and negative-going signal, and can be used as balanced signaling. The main component of this circuit is LM1201.  In this circuit, the inverted video is obtained at pin 10 because of the 75Ω termination to the power supply voltage. The voltage divider on […]

Remote Video System Multiplexer

Combination 8 channel multiplexer and amplifier (IC1) is the heart of the remote multiplexer box in the single coax video system. The MUX baseband video output is coupled by C11 to the coax and the video is decoupled by L1 from dc power arriving on the same line. All circuitry in the multiplexer box is supplied by this power (about […]
