DESCRIPTION
Realized with a high voltage bipolar technology,the MULTIWATT15
TDA8153 is a monolithic RGB video output stage (Plastic Package)
for TV color applications. It drives the CRT cath-
odes directly and offers a video bandwidth compat- ORDER CODE : TDA8153
ible with CCIR standards. In addition to three
independent video amplifiers, the device features
an internal generator for the first grid voltage,
flashover protection, cathode short circuit protec-
tion and a common cut-off sensing output for use
in sequential sampling applications.
The TDA8153 is supplied in a 15 lead Multiwatt
plastic power package.

APPLICATION NOTES
P. C. Board
The best performance of the RGB video amplifier
can be obtained only with a carefully designed P.C.
board. The layout of the printed circuit must be
realized to achieve the best possible symmetry of
the three channels.
Output to input capacitances are of particular im-
portance. The input-output capacitances, in paral-
lel with the relative high feedback resistances,
create poles in the closed loop transfer function.
To optimize the band response and to minimize the
channels crosstalk a low parasitic capacitance
feedback resistors of not inductive type is neces-
sary.
Capacitive coupling from the output of an amplifier
and the input of another one may induce excessive
crosstalk. It is advisable to keep the amplifier out-
puts away from amplifier inputs.
The small size of the P.C. board allows you to
8153-12.EPS
mount the TDA8153 directly beside the picture tube
socket, to minimize the capacitances of the con-
nections between the video amplifiers and the pic-
ture tube cathodes.
The capacitors connected in parallel with the input
resistors compensate the effects of the distributed
constants of the printed circuit on the step response
times. Their values must be selected on the basis
of the layout and can be considered as function of
the printed circuit.
The three capacitors (C9, C10, C11) between the
amplifier outputs and the feedback resistors re-
duces the noise effect on the cut-off control, their
value, of course, depends on the noise amplitude
and spectrum coming from the I.F. video stage.
To prevent possible oscillation problems, it is nec-
essary to place the high voltage filter capacitor (C3)
as near as possible to the IC ground and the latter
must be of a substantial width.

The power dissipation of the IC is defined by a static With a maximum ambient temperature of 70°C and

input to ground resistance with a black level
Vobl = 150V, Vht = 200V, Rf = 68kΩ and Rb = 1.8kΩ
we have : PS = 1.75W
The dynamic power dissipation has been calcu-
lated with a 5MHz, 80Vpp sinusoidal output signal
and a load capacitor CL = 10pF with the following
expression :
 Vop2 
Pd =  0.8 Vht (2f CL Vop) − 0.8  = 1.90W
 2Rf 
The value is reduced by 20% (0.8 factor) because
during the flyback time there is not signal.
The total power dissipated by the IC is therefore :
PT = PS + Pd = 1.75 + 1.90 = 3.65W
One of the worst working condition of the TV set as
regards the power dissipation, is when you get
white noise on the screen, for example, when you

disconnect the TV aerial or the channels are not
properly tuned.
