Cookbook for Analog Video Filtering in Camera Systems

Analog video filtering is widely used at the output stage in video camera applications, such as closed circuit television (CCTV), security cameras, digital still cameras (DSCs), and digital video camcorders (DVCs). As products are reduced in size and power, designers are moving away from discrete solutions to more integrated, one-chip solutions. This application note explains different filter amplifier configurations for several popular DACs in the video camera market. It is an easy-to-use guide for Maxim's various integrated video filter amplifiers, which satisfy a wide range of video application requirements.
