TSH173
3.1
Synchronization tip
The TSH173, in single 0/5V supply, is designed to drive the video signal on the line without
any damage to the synchronization tip. This is achieved by a small internal DC shift and a
very low output rail. The DAC offset, as shown in Figure 18, can be as low as 0V.
Nevertheless, in order to minimize the DC component on the line, the output can be AC
coupled by a capacitor (Figure 20).
