Applications Information
Functional Description
The FMS6690 Low Cost Video Filter (LCVF) provides 6dB gain
(9dB optional, contact factory for further information) from input
to output. In addition, the input will be slightly offset to optimize
the output driver performance. The offset is held to the minimum
required value to decrease the standing DC current into the
load. Typical voltage levels are shown in the diagram below.

Figure 1. Typical Voltage Levels
The FMS6690 provides an internal diode clamp to support AC-
coupled input signals. If the input signal does not go below
ground, the input clamp will not operate. This allows DAC out-
puts to directly drive the FMS6690 without an AC coupling
capacitor. The worst-case sync tip compression due to the
clamp will not exceed 7mV. The input level set by the clamp
combined with the internal DC offset will keep the output within
its acceptable range. When the input is AC-coupled, the diode
clamp will set the sync tip (or lowest voltage) just below ground.
For symmetric signals like C, U, V, Cb, Cr, Pb and Pr, the aver-
age DC bias is fairly constant and the inputs can be AC-coupled
with the addition of a pull-up resistor to set the DC input voltage.
DAC outputs can also drive these same signals without the AC

Alternatively, if the DAC’s average DC output level causes the
signal to exceed the range of 0V to 1.4V, it can be AC-coupled

When the FMS6690 is driven by an unknown external source or
a SCART switch with its own clamping circuitry, the inputs
should be AC-coupled as follows:
