AD8014Video DriversDRIVING CAPACITIVE LOADS The AD8014 easily drives series terminated cables with video The AD8014 was designed primarily to drive nonreactive loads. signals. Because the AD8014 has such good output drive you If driving loads with a capacitive component is desired, best can parallel two or three cables driven from the same AD8014. settling response is obtained by the addition of a small series Figure 23 shows the differential gain and phase driving one resistance as shown in Figure 26. The accompanying graph video cable. Figure 24 shows the differential gain and phase shows the optimum value for RSERIES vs. Capacitive Load. It is driving two video cables. Figure 25 shows the differential gain worth noting that the frequency response of the circuit when and phase driving three video cables. driving large capacitive loads will be dominated by the passive roll-off of RSERIES and CL. 0.000.02 0.040.05 0.050.050.040.04 0.040.040.030.10400.050.00–0.05 –0.1030DIFFERENTIAL GAIN – % V 0.000.01 0.100.21 0.260.280.290.30 0.300.300.300.60–0.400.20 0.00R SERIES–0.2020DIFFERENTIAL–0.40PHASE – Degrees –0.60 1ST 2ND 3RD 4TH 5TH 6TH 7TH 8TH 9TH 10TH 11TH Figure 23.
