GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8112 is a low cost, fully buffered crosspoint switch matrix
that operates on ±12 V for audio applications and ±5 V for
video applications. It offers a −3 dB signal bandwidth greater
than 60 MHz and channel switch times of less than 60 ns with
0.1% settling for use in both analog and digital audio. The
AD8112 operated at 20 kHz has a crosstalk performance of
−83 dB and isolation of 90 dB. In addition, ground/power pins
surround all inputs and outputs to provide extra shielding for
operation in the most demanding audio routing applications.
With a differential gain and differential phase better than 0.1%
and 0.1°, respectively, and a 0.1 dB flatness output of up to 10 MHz,
The AD8112 includes eight independen
be placed into a disabled state for paralleling crosspoint outputs
so that off channel loading is minimized. The AD8112 has a gain
of +2. It operates on voltage supplies of ±5 V or ±12 V while
consuming only 34 mA or 31 mA of current, respectively. The
channel switching is performed via a serial digital control (which
can accommodate the daisy chaining of several devices) or via
a parallel control, allowing updating of an individual output
without reprogramming the entire array.
The AD8112 is packaged in a 100-lead LQFP and is available
ver the commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.
o
the AD8112 is suitable for many video applications.

POWER DISSIPATION
The AD8112 is operated with ±5 V to ±12 V supplies and can
drive loads down to 150 Ω (±5 V) or 600 Ω (±12 V), resulting
in a large range of possible power dissipations. For this reason,
extra care must be taken when derating the operating conditions
based on ambient temperature.
Packaged in a 100-lead LQFP, the AD8112 junction-to-ambient

t
the maximum allowed junction temperature of the plastic encapsulated die should not exceed 150°C. Temporarily exceeding
this limit may cause a shift in parametric performance due
to a change in the stresses exerted on the die by the package.

period can result in device failure. The curve in

THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD8112 has a gain of +2 and is a crosspoint array with
eight outputs, each of which can be connected to any one of 16
inputs. Organized by output row, 16 switchable transconductance
stages are connected to each output buffer in the form of a 16-to-1
multiplexer. Each of the 16 rows of transconductance stages are
wired in parallel to the 16 input pins, for a total array of 256 transconductance stages. Decoding logic for each output selects one
(or none) of the transconductance stages to drive the output
stage. The transconductance stages are NPN input differential
pairs, sourcing current into the folded cascode output stage.
The compensation networks and emitter follower output buffers
are in the output stage. Voltage feedback sets the gain at +2.
When operated with ±12 V supplies, this architecture provides
±
10 V drive for 600 Ω audio loads with extremely low distortion
(<0.002%) at audio frequencies. Provided the supplies are lowered to ±5 V (to limit power consumption), the AD8112 can
drive reverse-terminated video loads, swinging ±3.0 V into
150 Ω. Disabling unused outputs and transconductance
stages minimizes on-chip power consumption.
Features of the AD8112 facilitate the construction of larger
tch matrices. The unused outputs can be disabled, leaving
swi
only a feedback network resistance of 4 kΩ on the output. This
allows multiple ICs to be bused together, provided the output
load impedance is greater than the minimum allowed values.
Because no additional input buffering is necessary, high input
resistance and low input capacitance are easily achieved without
additional signal degradation.
The AD8112 inputs have a unique bias current compensation
s
cheme that overcomes a problem common to transconductance
input array architectures. Typically, an input bias current increases
as more transconductance stages connected to the same input
are turned on. Anywhere from zero to 16 transconductance
stages can share one input pin, so there is a varying amount of
bias current supplied through the source impedance driving
the input. For audio systems with larger source impedances,
this has the potential of creating large offset voltages, audible
as pops when switching between channels. The AD8112 samples
and cancels the input bias current contributions from each
transconductance stage so that the residual bias current is
nominally zero regardless of the number of enabled inputs.
Due to the flexibility in allowed supply voltages, internal crosstal
k isolation clamps have variable bias levels. These levels were
chosen to allow for the necessary input range to accommodate
the full output swing with a gain of +2. Overdriving the inputs
beyond the device’s linear range will eventually forward bias
these clamps, increasing power dissipation. The valid input
range for ±12 V supplies is ±5 V. The valid input range for ±5 V
supplies is ±1.5 V. When outputs are disabled and being driven
externally, the voltage applied to them should not exceed the
valid output swing range for the AD8112. Exceeding ±10.5 V on
the outputs of the AD8112 may apply a large differential voltage
on the unused transconductance stages and should be avoided.
A flexible TTL-compatible logic interface simplifies the pro-
ramming of the matrix. Either parallel or serial loading into
g
a first rank of latches programs each output. A global latch
simultaneously updates all outputs. In serial mode, a serial
output pin allows devices to be daisy-chained together for
single pin programming of multiple ICs. A power-on reset
pin is available to avoid bus conflicts by disabling all outputs.
Regardless of the supply voltage applied to the AV
pins, the digital logic requires 5 V on the DV
and AVEE
CC
pin with respect
CC
to DGND. In order for the digital-to-analog interface to work
properly, DV
must be at least 7 V above AVEE. Finally, internal
CC
ESD protection diodes require that the DGND and AGND pins
be at the same potential.

include the rms current being delivered to the load multiplied
by the rms voltage drop on the AD8112 output devices. The

must also be included. For a sinusoidal output, the on-chip

It can be shown that for a dual supply of ±
a, a Class AB output
stage dissipates maximum power into a grounded load when
the output voltage is a/2. Therefore, for a ±12 V supply, the
previous example demonstrates the worst-case power dissipation into 600 Ω. It can be seen from this example that the
minimum load resistance for ±12 V operation is 600 Ω for
full rated operating temperature range. For larger safety margins
when the output signal is unknown, loads of 1 kΩ and greater
are recommended. When operating with ±5 V supplies, this
load resistance can be lowered to 150 Ω.
SHORT-CIRCUIT OUTPUT CONDITIONS
Although there is short-circuit current protection on the AD8112
outputs, the output current can reach values of 55 mA into a
grounded output. Sustained operation with even one shorted
output will exceed the maximum die temperature and may
result in device failure (see the Absolute Maximum Ratings
on).

APPLICATION NOTES
The AD8112 has two options for changing the programming
of the crosspoint matrix. In the first option, a serial word of 80
bits is provided to update the entire matrix. The serial data needs
to be prefixed with 40 zeros because there are 40 unconnected
bits. The second option allows for changing a single output’s
programming via a parallel interface. The serial option requires
fewer signals but more time (clock cycles) for changing the programming, whereas the parallel programming technique
requires more signals but can change outputs individually
and requires fewer clock cycles to complete programming.

try to update to every intermediate state as defined by the
shifting data.
The data at DATA IN is clocked in upon each falling edge of
C
LK. A total of 80 bits must be shifted in to complete the programming because there are 40 unconnected bits. For each of
the eight outputs, there are four bits (D0 to D3) that determine
the source of the input followed by one bit (D4) that determines
the enabled state of the output. If D4 is low (output disabled),
the four associated bits (D0 to D3) do not matter, because no
input will be switched to that output.

PARALLEL PROGRAMMING
When using the parallel programming mode, it is not necessary
to reprogram the entire device when making changes to the
matrix. In fact, parallel programming allows the modification
of a single output. Because this requires only one CLK/
cycle, significant time is saved by using parallel programming.
One important consideration when using parallel programming

two parallel outputs will not be active at the same time.
After initial power-up, the internal registers in the device gener-
lly have random data, even though the

asserted. If parallel programming is used to program one output,
then that output is properly programmed, but the rest of the
device has a random program state depending on the internal
register content at power-up. Therefore, when using parallel
programming, it is essential that all outputs be programmed to
a desired state after power-up to ensure that the programming
matrix is always in a known state. Then, parallel programming
can be used to modify a single output or multiple outputs.
Similarly, if both
power-up, the random power-up data in the shift register is
programmed into the matrix. Therefore, to prevent the crosspoint
from being programmed into an unknown state, do not apply
low logic levels to both

state, by either serial or parallel programming after initial
power-up, eliminates the possibility of programming the matrix

address of the output to be programmed should be put on A0 to
A2. The first four data bits (D0 to D3) should contain the information identifying the input that is programmed to the addressed
output. The fifth data bit (D4) determines the enabled state of
the output. If D4 is low (output disabled), the data on D0 to D3
does not matter.
After the desired address and data signals have been established,

POWER-ON RESET
When powering up the AD8112, it is usually desirable to have
RESET
the outputs in the disabled state. The
pin, when taken
low, causes all outputs to be in the disabled state. However, the
RESET
signal does not reset all registers in the AD8112. This is
important when operating in the parallel programming mode.
(Please refer to the Parallel Programming section for information
ab
out programming internal registers after power-up.) Serial
programming updates the entire matrix, therefore no special
considerations apply.
Because the data in the shift register is random after power-up,
should not be used to program the matrix; otherwise the matrix

can enter an unknown state. To prevent this, do not apply logic

The low condition causes all the outputs to be disabled. The
capacitor then charges through the pull-up resistor to the high
state, thus allowing full programming capability of the device.
SPECIFYING AUDIO LEVELS
Several methods are used to specify audio levels. A level is actually
a power measurement, which requires not just a voltage measurement, but also a reference impedance. Traditionally both
150 Ω and 600 Ω have been used as references for audio level
measurements.
The typical reference power level is 1 mW. Power levels that are
easured relative to this reference level are given the designation
m
dBm. However, it is necessary to be sure of the reference impedance used for such measurements. This can be either explicit
(for example, 0 dBm (600 Ω)) or implicit (if there is an agreement on what the reference impedance is).
Because modern voltmeters have high input impedances, measu
rements can be made that do not terminate the signal. Therefore,
it is not proper to consider this type of measurement a dBm, or
power measurement. However, a measurement scale that is
designated dBu is used to measure unterminated voltages. This
scale has a voltage reference for 0 dBu that is the same as the
voltage required to produce 0 dBm (600 Ω).
The AD8112 operates as a voltage-in/voltage-out device.
Ther
efore, all parameters are specified in volts, but users
can convert the values to other power units or decibel-type
measurements as required by a particular application.
CREATING UNITY-GAIN CHANNELS
The channels in the AD8112 each have a gain of +2. This gain is
necessary, as opposed to a gain of unity, to restrict the voltage
on internal nodes to less than the breakdown voltage. If it is
desired to create channels with an overall gain of unity, a resistive
divider can be used at the input to divide the signals by 2. After
passing through any input/output channel combination of the
AD8112, the overall gain of unity is achieved.

Figure 44 shows a typical input with a divide-by-2 input divider
that creates a unity gain channel. The circuit uses 1 kΩ resistors
to form the divider. These resistors need to be high enough so
they do not overload the drive circuit. But if they are too high,
they generate an offset voltage due to the input bias current that
flows through them. Larger resistors also increase the thermal
noise of the channel.
The circuit shown in Figure 44 can handle inputs that swing
u
p to ±10 V when the AD8112 operates on analog supplies of
±12 V. After passing through the divider, the maximum voltage
is ±5 V at the input. This maximum input amplitude is ±10 V at
the output after the gain of +2 of the channels.
VIDEO SIGNALS
Unlike audio signals, which have lower bandwidths and longer
wavelengths, video signals often use controlled-impedance
transmission lines that are terminated in their characteristic
impedance. Although this is not always the case, there are some
considerations when using the AD8112 to route video signals
with controlled-impedance transmission lines. Figure 45 shows

input impedance does not properly terminate these signals.
Therefore, the line should be terminated with a 75 Ω shunt
resistor to ground. Because video signals are limited in their
peak-to-peak amplitude, there is no need to attenuate video
signals before they pass through the AD8112.
The AD8112 outputs are very low impedance and do not properly terminate the source end of a 75 Ω transmission line. In
these cases, a series 75 Ω resistor should be inserted at an output
that drives a video signal. Then the transmission line should be
terminated with 75 Ω at its far end. This overall termination
scheme divides the amplitude of the AD8112 output by 2. An
overall unity gain channel is produced as a result of the
AD8112’s channel gain of +2.
CREATING LARGER CROSSPOINT ARRAYS
The AD8112 is a high density building block for creating
crosspoint arrays of dimensions larger than 16 × 8. Various
features, such as output disable and chip enable, are useful
for creating larger arrays.
The first consideration in constructing a larger crosspoint is
o determine the minimum number of devices required. The
t
16 × 8 architecture of the AD8112 contains 128 points, which
is a factor of 32 greater than a 4 × 1 crosspoint (or multiplexer).
The PC board area, power consumption, and design effort
savings are readily apparent when compared with using these
smaller devices.
For a nonblocking crosspoint, the number of points required is
he product of the number of inputs multiplied by the number
t
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 outputs.
Some nonblocking crosspoint architectures require more than
his minimum as previously calculated. Also, there are blocking
t
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
t
o connect inputs in parallel in a horizontal direction and to
wire-OR the outputs together in the vertical direction. The
meaning of horizontal and vertical can best be understood by
looking at Figure 46, which illustrates this concept for a 32 × 16
osspoint array that uses four AD8112s.

The inputs are individually assigned to each of the 32 inputs of
he two devices and a divider is used to normalize the channel
t
gain. The outputs are wire-OR’ed together in pairs. The output
from only one wire-OR’ed pair should be enabled at any given
time. The device programming software must be properly
written to for this to happen.
Using additional crosspoint devices in the design can lower the
umber of outputs that must be wire-OR’ed together. Figure 47

hows a block diagram of a system using ten AD8112s to create
s
a nonblocking, gain of +2, 128 × 8 crosspoint that restricts the
wire-OR’ing at the output to only four outputs.
Additionally, by using the lower eight outputs from each of the
tw
o Rank 2 AD8112s, a blocking 128 × 16 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. In
addition, the extra devices consume more current and take up
more board space. Consider the overall system design specifications when using the various trade-offs.
The video specifications of the AD8112 make it an ideal
candidate for creating composite video crosspoint switches.
These can be made quite dense by taking advantage of the
AD8112’s high level of integration and the fact that composite
video requires only one crosspoint channel per system video
channel. There are, however, other video formats that can be
routed with the AD8112, requiring more than one crosspoint
channel per video channel.
Some systems use twisted pair cables to carry video or audio
sig
nals. These systems utilize differential signals and can lower
costs because they use lower cost cables, connectors, and termination methods. They also have the ability to lower crosstalk
and reject common-mode signals, which can be important
for equipment that operates in noisy environments, or where
common-mode voltages are present between transmitting and
receiving equipment.
In such systems, the audio or video signals are differential;
th
ere are positive and negative (or inverted) versions of the
signals. These complementary signals are transmitted through
each of the two cables of the twisted pair, yielding a first-order
zero common-mode voltage. At the receive end, the signals are
differentially received and converted back into a single-ended
signal.
When switching these differential signals, two channels are
equired in the switching element to handle the two differential
r
signals that compose the video or audio channel. Thus, one differential video or audio channel is assigned to a pair of crosspoint
channels, both input and output. For a single AD8112, eight
differential video or audio channels can be assigned to the 16
inputs, and four differential video or audio channels can be
assigned to the eight outputs. This effectively forms an 8 × 4
differential crosspoint switch.
Programming such a device requires that inputs and outputs be
p
rogrammed in pairs. This information can be deduced through
inspection of the programming format of the AD8112 and the
requirements of the system.
There are other analog video formats requiring more than one
nalog circuit per video channel. One two-circuit format that is
a
commonly being used in systems such as satellite TV, digital
cable boxes, and higher quality VCRs is called S-video or
Y/C video. This format carries the brightness (luminance or
Y) portion of the video signal on one channel and the color
(chrominance, chroma, or C) portion on a second channel.
Because S-video also uses two separate circuits for one video
nnel, creating a crosspoint system requires assigning one
cha
video channel to two crosspoint channels, as in the case of a
differential video system. Aside from the nature of the video

format, other aspects of these two systems are the same. Stereo
udio can also be routed in a paired-channel arrangement
a
similar to a two-channel video system.
There are yet other video formats using three channels to carry
th
e video information. Video cameras produce RGB (red, green,
blue) directly from the image sensors. RGB is also the usual format used internally by computers for graphics. RGB can also be
converted to Y, R–Y, B–Y format, sometimes called YUV format.
These three-circuit video standards are referred to as component analog video.
The component video standards require three crosspoint channels
er video channel to handle the switching function. Similar to
p
the two-circuit video formats, the inputs and outputs are assigned
in groups of three, and the appropriate logic programming is
performed to route the video signals.
CROSSTALK
Many systems, such as studio audio or broadcast video, that
handle numerous analog signal channels have strict requirements for keeping the various signals from influencing other
signals in the system. Crosstalk is the term used to describe the
coupling of the signals of other nearby channels to a given
channel.
When there are many signals in close proximity in a system,
as undo
crosstalk issues can be quite complex. A good understanding of
the nature of crosstalk and some definition of terms is required
in order to specify a system that uses one or more AD8112s.
Types of Crosstalk
Crosstalk can be propagated by 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
re
occurs when the electric field created by the transmitter propagates
across a stray capacitance (for example, free space) and then
couples with the receiver and induces a voltage. This voltage is
an unwanted crosstalk signal in any channel that receives it.
Currents flowing in conductors create magnetic fields that
cir
generate voltages in any other conductor whose paths is linked.
The undesired induced voltages in these other channels are
crosstalk signals. The channels with crosstalk have a mutual
inductance that couples signals from one channel to another.
The power supplies, grounds, and other signal return paths
o
channels. When a current from one channel flows into one of
these paths, a voltage that is developed across the impedance
becomes an input crosstalk signal for other channels that share
the common impedance.
ubtedly is the case in a system that uses the AD8112, the
ceiver of electric fields. The electric field crosstalk mechanism
culate around the currents. These magnetic fields then
f a multichannel system are generally shared by the various
Page 24

All these sources of crosstalk are vector quantities; therefore the
magnitudes cannot simply be added together to obtain the total
crosstalk. In fact, there are conditions where driving additional
circuits in parallel in a given configuration can reduce the
crosstalk.
Areas of Crosstalk
A practical AD8112 circuit must be mounted to some sort of
circuit board to connect it 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 the crosstalk of a system is a combination of the
intrinsic crosstalk of both the devices and the circuit board to
which they are mounted. It is important to try to separate these
two areas when attempting to minimize the effect of crosstalk.
In addition, crosstalk can occur among the inputs as well as the
output
s of a cross-point. It can also occur from input to output.
The following sections describe techniques for measuring and
identifying the source of 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
decibels down from the magnitude of the test signal. The
crosstalk is expressed by
()()
=
where:
s = jw is the Laplace transform variable.
Asel(s) = the amplitude of the crosstalk induced signal in the
selected channel.
Atest(s) = the amplitude of the test signal.
It can be seen that crosstalk is a function of frequency, but not
a
function of the magnitude of the test signal (to first order). In
addition, the crosstalk signal has a phase relative to the test
signal associated with it.
A network analyzer is most commonly used to measure crosstalk
ver a frequency range of interest. It can provide both magni-
o
tude and phase information about the crosstalk signal.

To measure this crosstalk, use one of the following two methods.
I
n the first method, the crosstalk terms associated with driving
a test signal into each of the other 15 inputs is measured one at
a time, while applying no signal to IN00. In the second method,
the crosstalk terms associated with driving a parallel test signal
into all 15 other inputs is measured two at a time in all possible
combinations, 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 in
parallel.
Each combination is legitimately different from the others and
m
ight yield a unique value, depending on the resolution of the
measurement system. It is not practical to measure and then
specify all these terms. Furthermore, this describes the crosstalk
matrix for just one input channel. A similar crosstalk matrix can
be proposed for every other input. In addition, if the possible
combinations and permutations for connecting inputs to the
other outputs (not used for measurement) are taken into
consideration, the numbers of possibilities quickly grows to
astronomical proportions. If a larger crosspoint array of multiple
AD8112s is constructed, the numbers grow larger still.
Obviously, a subset of all these cases must be selected to be
sed as a guide for a practical measure of crosstalk. One common
u
method is to measure all hostile crosstalk; this 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 the
n
earest neighbor or by the two nearest neighbors on either side.
These crosstalk measurements are generally higher than those
of more distant channels, and therefore can serve as a worstcase measure for any other 1-channel or 2-channel crosstalk
measurements.
Input and Output Crosstalk
The flexible programming capability of the AD8112 can be used
to diagnose whether crosstalk is greater on the input side or the
output side. For example, to identify the source of crosstalk, the
IN07 input channel can be programmed to drive OUT07, with
the input to IN07 terminated to ground (via 50 Ω or 75 Ω) and
no signal applied.
As a crosspoint system or device grows larger, the number of
t
heoretical crosstalk combinations and permutations can become
extremely large. For example, in the case of the 16 × 8
the AD8112, consider the number of possible sources of crosstalk
terms for a single channel, for example the IN00 input. IN00 is
programmed to connect to one of the AD8112 outputs where
crosstalk can be measured.
matrix of
Rev. 0 | Page 24 of 28
All the other inputs are driven in parallel with the same test
sig
nal (practically provided by a distribution amplifier), with all
other outputs except OUT07 disabled. Because grounded IN07
is programmed to drive OUT07, no signal should be present.
Any signal that is present can be attributed to the other 15 hostile
input signals, because no other outputs are driven (they are all
disabled). Therefore, this method measures the all-hostile input
contribution to crosstalk into IN07. This method can be used
for other input channels and combinations of hostile inputs.

For output crosstalk measurement, a single input channel is
driven (IN00, for example) and all outputs other than a given
output (IN07 in the middle) are programmed to connect to
IN00. OUT07 is programmed to connect to IN15 (not in close
proximity to IN00), which is terminated to ground. Therefore,
OUT07 should not have a signal present because it is listening
to a quiet input. Any signal measured at the OUT07 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.
Therefore, the PC board on the input side can contribute to
magnetically coupled crosstalk.
From a circuit standpoint, the input crosstalk mechanism looks
lik
e a capacitor coupling to a resistive load. For low frequencies
the magnitude of the crosstalk is given by

From the equation, it can be observed that this crosstalk
echanism has a high-pass nature. It can also be minimized
m
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
hter load. Although the AD8112 is specified with excellent
lig
differential gain and phase when driving a standard 150 Ω video
load, the crosstalk is higher than the minimum obtainable
crosstalk due to the high output currents. These currents induce
crosstalk via the mutual inductance of the output pins and bond
wires of the AD8112.

PCB LAYOUT
Extreme care must be exercised to minimize additional crosstalk generated by the system circuit board(s). The areas that
must be carefully designed are grounding, shielding, signal
routing, and supply bypassing.
The packaging of the AD8112 is designed to help minimize
cr
osstalk. Each input is separated from each other input by
an analog ground pin. All of these AGNDs should be directly
connected 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.
Each output is separated from its two neighboring outputs by
an
analog supply pin of one polarity or the other. Each of these
analog supply pins provides power to the output stages of only
the two nearest outputs. These supply pins provide shielding,
physical separation, and a low impedance supply for the outputs.
Individual bypassing of each of these supply pins with a 0.01 μF
chip capacitor connected directly to the ground plane minimizes
high frequency output crosstalk via the mechanism of sharing
common impedances.
In addition, each output has an
tor that is individually tied to the nearby analog ground pins
(AGND00 through AGND07). 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
located between ground planes on layers above and below,
are
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 input and output signals surface at the input
termination resistors and at the output series back-termination
resistors. To the extent possible, these signals should also be
separated as soon as they emerge from the IC package.
