GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8106 and AD8107 are high speed, 16 × 5 video crosspoint
switch matrices. They offer a −3 dB signal bandwidth greater
than 260 MHz, and channel switch times of less than 25 ns
with 1% settling. With −78 dB of crosstalk and
(@ 5 MHz), the AD8106/AD8107 are useful in many high speed
applications. The differential gain and differential phase of
greater than 0.02% and 0.02° respectively, along with 0.1 dB
flatness out to 60 MHz, make the AD8106/AD8107 ideal for
video signal switching.

The AD8106 and AD8107 include five independent output
buffers that can be placed into a high impedance state for paralleling crosspoint outputs, preventing off channels from loading the
output bus. The AD8106 has a gain of 1, while the AD8107
offers a gain of 2. Both operate on voltage supplies of ±5 V while
consuming only 30 mA of idle current. The channel switching is
performed via a parallel control, allowing updating of an
individual output without reprogramming the entire array.

MAXIMUM POWER DISSIPATION
The maximum power that can be safely dissipated by the
AD8106/AD8107 is limited by the associated rise in junction
temperature. The maximum safe junction temperature for
plastic encapsulated devices is determined by the glass
transition temperature of the plastic, approximately 150°C.
Temporarily exceeding this limit can cause a shift in parametric
performance due to a change in the stresses exerted on the die
by the package.
Exceeding a junction temperature of 175°C for an extended
period can result in device failure.
While the AD8106/AD8107 is internally short-circuit
protected, this may not be sufficient to guarantee that the
maximum junction temperature (150°C) is not exceeded under
all conditions. To ensure proper operation, it is necessary to
observe the maximum power derating curves shown in

AD8106/AD8107
THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD8106 (G = 1) and AD8107 (G = 2) share a common core
architecture consisting of an array of 80 transconductance (gm)
input stages that are organized as five 16:1 multiplexers with a
common, 16-line analog input bus. Each multiplexer is
essentially a folded-cascode high speed voltage, feedback
amplifier with 16 input stages. The input stages are NPN
differential pairs whose differential current outputs are
combined at the output stage, which contains the high
impedance node, compensation, and a complementary emitter
follower output buffer. In the AD8106, the output of each
multiplexer is fed directly back to the inverting inputs of its
16 gm stages. In the AD8107, the feedback network is a voltage
divider consisting of two equal-value resistors.
This switched-gm architecture results in a low power crosspoint
switch that is able to directly drive a back-terminated video load
(150 Ω) with low distortion (differential gain and differential
phase errors are better than 0.02% and 0.02°, respectively). This
design also achieves high input resistance and low input
capacitance without the signal degradation and power
dissipation of additional input buffers. However, the small input
bias current at any input increases almost linearly with the
number of outputs programmed to that input.
The output disable feature of these crosspoints allows larger
switch matrices to be built simply by busing together the
outputs of multiple 16 × 5 ICs. However, while the disabled
output impedance of the AD8106 is very high (10 MΩ), the
AD8107 output impedance is limited by the resistive feedback
network, which has a nominal total resistance of 1 kΩ and
appears in parallel with the disabled output. If the outputs of
multiple AD8107s are connected through separate back
termination resistors, the loading lowers the effective back
termination impedance of the overall matrix because of these
finite output impedances. This problem is eliminated if the
outputs of multiple AD8107s are connected directly and share a
single back-termination resistor for each output of the overall
matrix. This configuration increases the capacitive loading of
the disabled AD8107 on the output of the enabled AD8107.
POWER-ON RESET

INITIALIZATION
The AD8106/AD8107 should be initialized after power up to
control the supply and bias currents, and to make sure that no
unexpected program states are encountered. Initialization is
performed by writing a data word of 00000 into all address
locations 00 to 07 (000 to 111 binary).
GAIN SELECTION
The 16 × 5 crosspoints come in two versions depending on the
desired gain of the analog circuit paths. The AD8106 device is
unity gain and can be used for analog logic switching and other
applications where unity gain is desired. The AD8106 can also
be used for the input and interior sections of larger crosspoint
arrays where termination of output signals is not usually used.
The AD8106 outputs have very high impedance when their
outputs are disabled.
For devices that drive a terminated cable with its outputs, the
AD8107 can be used. This device has a built-in gain of two that
eliminates the need for a gain-of-two buffer to drive a video
line. Because of the presence of the feedback network in these
devices, the disabled output impedance is about 1 kΩ.
CREATING LARGER CROSSPOINT ARRAYS
The AD8106/AD8107 are high density building blocks that
create crosspoint arrays for dimensions larger than 16 × 5.
Various features such as output disable, chip enable, and gainof-one and gain-of-two options are useful for creating larger
arrays. For very large arrays, they can be used with the
AD8114/AD8115, 16 × 16 video crosspoint devices, or the
AD8110/AD8111, 16 x 8 video crosspoint devices. When required
for customizing a crosspoint array size, the parts can also be
used with the
gain-of-two) of 8 × 8 video crosspoint switches.
The first consideration in constructing a larger crosspoint is to
determine the minimum number of required devices. The 16 × 5
architecture of the AD8106/AD8107 contains 80 points. For a
nonblocking crosspoint, the number of points required is the
product of the number of inputs multiplied by the number of
outputs. Nonblocking requires that the programming of a given
input to one or more outputs does not restrict the availability of
that input to be a source for any other output.
Some nonblocking crosspoint architectures require more than this
minimum as calculated above. In addition, there are blocking
architectures that can be constructed with fewer devices than this
minimum. These systems have connectivity available on a statistical
basis that is determined when designing the overall system.
The basic concept in constructing larger crosspoint arrays is to
connect inputs in parallel in a horizontal direction and to wire-OR
the outputs together in a vertical direction.

The inputs are uniquely assigned to each of the 32 inputs of the
two devices and terminated appropriately. The outputs are wireOR’ed together in pairs. The output from only one of a wire-OR’ed
pair should be enabled at any given time. The device programming software must be properly written to cause this to happen.
At some point, the number of outputs that are wire-OR’ed becomes
too great to maintain system performance. This varies according
to which system specifications are most important. It also
depends on whether the matrix consists of AD8106s or AD8107s.

The output disabled impedance of the AD8106 is much
higher than that of the AD8107. As a result, its disabled
parasitics have a smaller effect on the one output that is
enabled. For example, a 128 × 5 crosspoint can be created
with eight AD8106s/AD8107s. This design has 128 separate
inputs and the corresponding outputs of each device wireOR’ed together in groups of eight.
Using additional crosspoint devices in the design can lower the
number of outputs that must be wire-OR’ed together.
Figure 47
shows a block diagram of a system using eight AD8106s and
two AD8107s to create a nonblocking, gain-of-two, 128 × 5
crosspoint that restricts the wire-OR’ing at the output to only
four outputs.
Additionally, by using the lower four outputs from each of the
two Rank 2 AD8107s, a blocking 128 × 10 crosspoint array can
be realized. There are, however, some drawbacks to this technique.
The offset voltages of the various cascaded devices accumulate
and the bandwidth limitations of the devices compound. The
extra devices also consume more current and take up more
board space. Once again, the overall system design specifications determine which tradeoffs should be made.
Many systems, such as broadcast video, handle numerous
analog signal channels that have strict requirements for keeping
the various signals from influencing others in the system.
Crosstalk is the term used to describe the undesired coupling
between signals of other nearby channels to a given channel.
When many signals are in close proximity in a system, as is
undoubtedly the case in a system that uses the AD8106/
AD8107, the crosstalk issues can be quite complex. A good
understanding of the nature of crosstalk and its associated
terms is required to specify a system that uses one or more
AD8106s/AD8107s.
Types of Crosstalk
Crosstalk can be propagated by means of one of three methods.
These fall into the categories of electric field, magnetic field, and
sharing of common impedances. This section explains these effects.
Every conductor can be both a radiator of electric fields and a
receiver of electric fields. The electric field crosstalk mechanism
occurs when the electric field created by the transmitter
propagates across a stray capacitance (free space, for example),
couples with the receiver, and induces a voltage. This voltage is
an unwanted crosstalk signal in any channel that receives it.
Currents flowing into conductors create magnetic fields that
circulate around the currents. These magnetic fields then
generate voltages in any other conductors whose paths they
link. The undesired induced voltages in these channels are
crosstalk signals. The channels that crosstalk have a mutual
inductance that couples signals from one channel to another.
The power supplies, grounds, and other signal return paths of a
multichannel system are generally shared by the various
channels. When a current from one channel flows into one of
these paths, a voltage develops across the impedance and
becomes an input crosstalk signal for other channels that share
the common impedance.
All these sources of crosstalk are vector quantities, so the magnitudes cannot simply be added together to obtain the total crosstalk.
In fact, there are conditions when driving additional circuits in
parallel in a given configuration can actually reduce the crosstalk.
Areas of Crosstalk
A practical AD8106/AD8107 circuit is required to be mounted
to some sort of circuit board to connect to power supplies and
measurement equipment. Great care has been taken to create a
characterization board (also available as an evaluation board) that
adds minimum crosstalk to the intrinsic device. This, however,
raises the issue that a system’s crosstalk is a combination of the
device’s intrinsic crosstalk and the circuit board to which they
are mounted. It is important to try to separate these two areas of
crosstalk when attempting to minimize its effect.
In addition, crosstalk can occur among the inputs to a
crosspoint as well as among the outputs. It can also occur
from input to output. Refer to the
section for techniques to diagnose which part of a system is
contributing to crosstalk.
Input and Output Crosstalk
Measuring Crosstalk
Crosstalk is measured by applying a signal to one or more
channels and measuring the relative strength of that signal on a
desired selected channel. The measurement is usually expressed
as dB down from the magnitude of the test signal. The crosstalk
is expressed by
=
where:
s = jw is the Laplace transform variable.
Asel(s) is the amplitude of the crosstalk-induced signal in the
selected channel.
Atest(s) is the amplitude of the test signal.
It can be seen that crosstalk is a function of frequency, but not a
function of the test signal’s magnitude (to first order). The crosstalk
signal also has a phase relative to its associated test signal.
A network analyzer is most commonly used to measure
crosstalk over a frequency range of interest. It can provide both
magnitude and phase information about the crosstalk signal.
As a crosspoint system or device grows, the number of theoretical
crosstalk combinations and permutations can become extremely
large. For example, in the case of the 16 x 5 matrix of the
AD8106/AD8107, examine the number of crosstalk terms that
can be considered for a single channel, such as the IN00 input.
IN00 is programmed to connect to one of the AD8106/AD8107
outputs where the measurement can be made.
First, measure the crosstalk terms associated with driving a test
signal into each of the other 15 inputs one at a time. Then measure
the crosstalk terms associated with driving a parallel test signal
into all 15 other inputs taken two at a time in all possible
combinations; and then three at a time, and so on, until finally,
there is only one way to drive a test signal into all 15 other inputs.
Each of these cases is legitimately different from the others and
could yield a unique value depending on the resolution of the
measurement system. However, it is impractical to measure all
of these terms and then to specify them. In addition, this
describes the crosstalk matrix for only one input channel. A
similar crosstalk matrix can be proposed for every other input.
If the possible combinations and permutations for connecting
inputs to the other outputs (not used for measurement) are
taken into consideration, the numbers grow rather quickly to
astronomical proportions. If a larger crosspoint array of
multiple AD8106/AD8107s is constructed, the numbers grow
larger still.

Obviously, some subset of all these cases must be selected to be
used as a guide for a practical measure of crosstalk. One
common method is to measure all hostile crosstalk, which
means that the crosstalk to the selected channel is measured
while all other system channels are driven in parallel. In general,
this yields the worst crosstalk number, but this is not always the
case due to the vector nature of the crosstalk signal.
Other useful crosstalk measurements are those created by one
of the nearest neighbors or by two of the nearest neighbors on
either side. These crosstalk measurements are generally higher
than those of more distant channels, so they can serve as a
worst-case measure for any other one-channel or two-channel
crosstalk measurements.
Input and Output Crosstalk
The flexible programming capability of the AD8106/AD8107
can be used to diagnose whether crosstalk is occurring more on
the input side or the output side. For example, a given input
channel, such as IN07 in the middle, can be programmed to
drive OUT01. The input to IN07 is terminated to ground (via
50 Ω or 75 Ω) and no signal is applied.
All the other inputs are driven in parallel with the same test
signal (practically provided by a distribution amplifier) with all
other outputs disabled, except OUT01. Because grounded IN07
is programmed to drive OUT01, no signal should be present. If
any signal is present, it can be attributed to the other 15 hostile
input signals because no other outputs are driven; that is, they
are all disabled. Thus, this method measures the all-hostile input
contribution to crosstalk into IN07. This method can also be used
for other input channels and combinations of hostile inputs.
For output crosstalk measurement, a single input channel
(IN00, for example) is driven and all outputs other than a given
output are programmed to connect to IN00. OUT01 is
programmed to connect to IN15, which is far away from IN00,
and is terminated to ground. As a result, OUT01 should not
have a signal present because it is listening for a quiet input.
Any signal measured at the OUT01 can be attributed to the
output crosstalk of the other seven hostile outputs. Again, this
method can be modified to measure other channels and other
crosspoint matrix combinations.
Effect of Impedances on Crosstalk
The input side crosstalk can be influenced by the output
impedance of the sources that drive the inputs. The lower the
impedance of the drive source, the lower the magnitude of the
crosstalk. The dominant crosstalk mechanism on the input side
is capacitive coupling. The high impedance inputs do not have
significant current flow to create magnetically induced crosstalk.
However, significant current can flow through the input
termination resistors and the loops that drive them. Thus,
the PC board on the input side can contribute to magnetically
coupled crosstalk.
From a circuit standpoint, the input crosstalk mechanism looks
like a capacitor coupling to a resistive load. For low frequencies,
the magnitude of the crosstalk is given by

Equation 2 shows that this crosstalk mechanism has a high-pass
nature; it can also be minimized by reducing the coupling
capacitance of the input circuits and lowering the output
impedance of the drivers. If the input is driven from a 75 Ω
terminated cable, the input crosstalk can be reduced by
buffering this signal with a low output impedance buffer.
On the output side, the crosstalk can be reduced by driving a
lighter load. Although the AD8106/AD8107 are specified with
excellent differential gain and phase when driving a standard
150 Ω video load, the crosstalk is higher than the minimum
obtainable because of the high output currents. These currents
induce crosstalk via the mutual inductance of the output pins
and bond wires of the AD8106/AD8107.
From a circuit standpoint, this output crosstalk mechanism
looks like a transformer with a mutual inductance between the
windings that drive a load resistor. For low frequencies, the
magnitude of the crosstalk is given by

PCB LAYOUT
Extreme care must be exercised to minimize additional
crosstalk generated by the system circuit board(s). The areas
that must be carefully detailed are grounding, shielding, signal
routing, and supply bypassing.
The packaging of the AD8106/AD8107 is designed to help keep
the crosstalk to a minimum. Each input is separated from other
inputs by an analog ground pin. All of these AGNDs should be
connected directly to the ground plane of the circuit board.
These ground pins provide shielding, low impedance return
paths, and physical separation for the inputs. All of these help to
reduce crosstalk.
Rev. 0 | Page 19 of 28
Page 20
AD8106/AD8107
Each output is separated from its two neighboring outputs by an
analog ground pin and an analog supply pin of one polarity or
the other. Each of these analog supply pins provides power to
the output stages for only the two nearest outputs. These supply
pins and analog grounds provide shielding, physical separation,
and a low impedance supply for the outputs. Individual
bypassing of these supply pins with a 0.01 μF chip capacitor
directly to the ground plane minimizes high frequency output
crosstalk via the mechanism of sharing common impedances.
Each output also has an on-chip compensation capacitor that is
individually tied to the nearby analog ground pins AGND00
through AGND03. This technique reduces crosstalk by preventing
the currents that flow in these paths from sharing a common
impedance on the IC and in the package pins. These AGNDxx
signals should all be connected directly to the ground plane.
The input and output signals have minimum crosstalk if they
are located between ground planes on layers above and below,
and separated by ground in between. Vias should be located as
close to the IC as possible to carry the inputs and outputs to the
inner layer. The only place the input and output signals surface
is at the input termination resistors and the output series back
termination resistors. These signals should also be separated, to
the largest extent possible, as soon as they emerge from the IC
package.

EVALUATION BOARD
A 4-layer evaluation board is available for the AD8106/
AD8107. The same board and external components are used for
each device. The only difference is the device itself, which offers
a selection of a gain of unity or a gain of two through the analog
channels. This board has been carefully laid out and tested to
demonstrate the specified high speed performance of the
device.
Figure 49 shows the schematic of the evaluation board.
Figure 50 shows the component side silkscreen. The layout of
the board’s four layers are given in:
• Component Layer (see
• Signal Routing Layer (see

The evaluation board package includes the following:
• Fully populated board with BNC-type connectors.
• Windows®-based software for controlling the board from a
PC via the printer port.
• Custom cable to connect evaluation board to PC.
• Disk containing Gerber files of board layout.
Optimized for video applications, all signal inputs and outputs
are terminated with 75 Ω resistors. Stripline techniques are used
to achieve a characteristic impedance on the signal input and
output lines, also of 75 Ω.
Figure 48 shows a cross section of one
of the input or output tracks along with the arrangement of the
PCB layers. Note that unused regions of the four layers are filled
up with ground planes. As a result, the input and output traces,
in addition to having controlled impedances, are well shielded.
The three power supply pins, AVCC, DVCC, and AVEE, should
be connected to good quality, low noise, ±5 V supplies. While
the same ±5 V power supplies are used for analog and digital,
separate cables should be run for the power supply to the
evaluation board’s analog and digital power supply pins.
As a general rule, each power supply pin (or group of adjacent
power supply pins) should be locally decoupled with a 0.01 μF
capacitor. If there is a space constraint, decouple analog power
supply pins before digital power supply pins. A 0.1 μF capacitor
located reasonably close to the pins can be used to decouple a
number of power supply pins. Finally, a 10 μF capacitor should
be used to decouple power supplies as they come on to the board.

CONTROLLING THE EVALUATION BOARD
FROM A PC
The evaluation board includes Windows-based control software
and a custom cable that connects the board’s digital interface to
the printer port of a PC. The wiring of this cable is shown in
Figure 55. The software requires Windows 3.1 or later to operate.
Before the start of the installation, terminate any other Windows
applications that are running. To install the software, insert
the disk labeled Disk #1 of 2 in the PC and run the setup.exe file.
Additional installation instructions are given on-screen.

When launching the crosspoint control software, users are
asked to select their desired printer port. Most modern PCs
have only one printer port, usually called LPT1. However, some
laptop computers use the PRN port.
Figure 56 shows the main screen of the control software in its
initial reset state (all outputs off). Using the mouse, any input
can be connected with one or more outputs by simply clicking
on the appropriate radio buttons in the 16 × 8 on-screen array.
Each time a button is clicked on, the software automatically sends
and latches the required 40-bit data stream to the evaluation board.
An output can be turned off by clicking the appropriate button
in the off column. To turn all outputs on, click
RESET
.
The software offers volatile and nonvolatile configuration
storage. For volatile storage, up to two configurations can be
stored and recalled using the Memory 1 Buffer and Memory 2
Buffer. These function in an identical fashion to the memory on
a pocket calculator. For nonvolatile storage of a configuration,
the Save Setup and Load Setup functions can be used. This
stores the configuration as a data file on disk.
DATA-LINE OVERSHOOT ON PRINTER PORTS
The data lines on some printer ports have excessive overshoot.
Overshoot on the pin that is used as the serial clock (Pin 6 on
the D-Sub-25 connector) can cause communication problems.
This overshoot can be eliminated by connecting a capacitor
from the CLK line on the evaluation board to ground. A pad
has been provided on the solder side of the evaluation board to
allow this capacitor to be soldered into place. Depending upon
the overshoot from the printer port, this capacitor may need to
be as large as 0.01 μF.
