The GB4550 and GB4550A are high performance monolithic video buffer/clamps made on Gennum's LSI process. They feature a wideband differential amplifier that can be configured as a gain stage. The output signal voltage is limited to +2V above the clamp level in order to prevent damage to crosspoints connected to the output. The clamping level can be set for normal sync tip clamping by connecting pin 4 to -0.286 volts. For other applications, the clamping voltage level can be varied from -5.5 to +5.5 volts.
