Patented* DirectDrive® Video Technology

DirectDrive video amplifiers integrate a proprietary, internally-generated negative power supply that: Eliminates Large Output Capacitors Sets the Black Level to Ground Provides Full 2Vp-p Video Signals, Even When Operating from a +1.8V Digital Supply Tell Me More

Benefits of Maxim's DirectDrive Video Technology Saves Space—Output capacitors and charge pumps take up critical board space in portable applications. Saves Money—Low-profile output capacitors in the 220µF to 2200µF range are expensive. Saves Power—1.8V solutions consume > 70% less average power than the competition. Improves Picture Quality—Output capacitors that cause field tilt and line tiltare eliminated. Maxim's internal charge-pump glitch energy (100pV/s) is not visible on the display. The competition's is visible!
