LM2408T

Overview

The LM2408T is a bipolar integrated circuit designed as a driver for monochrome cathode ray tubes (CRTs). It is housed in a TO-220-11 through-hole package. The device operates with a supply voltage range of 60V to 85V and draws a supply current of 22 mA. It functions within an operating temperature range of -20°C to 100°C.

Feature Summary

• Designed specifically for driving monochrome CRT displays
• Utilizes a robust bipolar integrated circuit architecture
• Supports high-voltage operation suitable for CRT applications

Applications

• Monochrome CRT display drivers
• Video amplifier circuits
• CRT driver modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin, as National Semiconductor assets were acquired by Texas Instruments. Confirm the specific package variant matches the TO-220-11 requirement. Ensure the component meets the specified voltage and temperature ranges for your application. Check for obsolescence status given the age of CRT technology.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated driver for monochrome CRT systems is required. Consider the TO-220-11 package for through-hole mounting needs. Evaluate the 60V to 85V supply range compatibility with existing power rails. Assess thermal management requirements for the 100°C maximum operating temperature limit.

Part Context

This part belongs to the family of video amplifiers and modules intended for CRT-based display systems. It serves as a specialized driver IC, distinct from general-purpose audio or video amplifiers. The TO-220-11 package indicates a multi-pin configuration necessary for CRT drive signals.
