black levels at 0V nominal to prevent clipping.
AC-coupled video inputs are intrinsically more difficult to
handle than those with DC-coupling because the average
signal voltage of the video waveform is effected by the
picture content, meaning that the black level at the amplifier
wanders with scene brightness. The wander is measured
as 0.56V for a 1VP-P NTSC waveform changing from black
field to white field and vice-versa, so an additional 1.12V
allowance must be made in the amplifier supply (assum-
ing gain of 2, so VMIN = 3.12 + VOH +VOL). For example,
an LT6205 operating on 5V has a conservative design
margin of 1.03V. The amplifier output (for gain of 2) must
swing +1.47V to –1.65V around the DC-operating point,
so the biasing circuitry needs to be designed accordingly
for optimal fidelity.
