PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The AD8170(2:1) and AD8174(4:1) are very high speed
buffered multiplexers. These multiplexers offer an internal
current feedback output amplifier whose gain can be pro­grammed via external resistors and is capable of delivering 50
mA of output current. They offer –3 dB signal bandwidth of
250 MHz and slew rate of greater than 1000 V/µs. Additionally,
the AD8170 and AD8174 have excellent video specifications
with low differential gain and differential phase error of 0.02%
and 0.05° and 0.1 dB flatness out to 80 MHz. With a low 78
dB of crosstalk and better than 88 dB isolation, these devices are
useful in many high speed applications. These are low power
devices consuming only 9.7 mA from a ± 5 V supply.

The AD8174 offers a high speed disable feature allowing the
output to be put into a high impedance state for cascading
stages so that the off channels do not load the output bus.
Additionally, the AD8174 can be shut down (SD) when not in
use to minimize power consumption (I

S

= 1.5 mA). These
products will be offered in 8-lead and 14-lead PDIP and SOIC
packages.

NOTES

1

Shutdown (SD) and ENABLE pins are grounded (AD8174). IN0 (or IN2) = +0.5 V dc, IN1 (or IN3) = –0.5 V dc. SELECT (A0 or A1 for AD8174) input is

driven with 0 V to +5 V pulse. Measure transition time from 50% of SELECT (A0 or A1) input value (+2.5 V) and 10% (or 90%) of the total output voltage transi­tion from IN0 (or IN2) channel voltage (+0.5 V) to IN1 (or IN3 = –0.5 V) or vice versa.

2

AD8174 only. Shutdown (SD) pin is grounded. ENABLE pin is driven with 0 V to +5 V pulse (5 ns rise and fall times). State of A0 and A1 logic inputs determines

which channel is activated (i.e., if A0 = Logic 0 and A1 = Logic 1, then IN2 input is selected). Set IN0 (or IN2) = +0.5 V dc, IN1 (or IN3) = –0.5 V dc, and mea­sure transition time from 50% of ENABLE pulse (+2.5 V) to 90% of the total output voltage change. In Figure 5, ∆t

OFF

is the disable time, ∆tON is the enable time.

3

AD8174 only. ENABLE pin is grounded. Shutdown (SD) pin is driven with 0 V to +5 V pulse (5 ns rise and fall times). State of A0 and A1 logic inputs determines
which channel is activated (i.e., if A0 = Logic 1 and A1 = Logic O, then IN1 input is selected). Set IN0 (or IN2) = +0.5 V dc, IN1 (or IN3) = –0.5 V dc, and mea­sure transition time from 50% of SD pulse (+2.5 V) to 90% of the total output voltage change. In Figure 6, ∆ t

OFF

is the shutdown assert time, ∆t

ON

is the shutdown

release time.

4

All inputs are grounded. SELECT (A0 or A1 for AD8174) input is driven with 0 V to +5 V pulse. The outputs are monitored. Speeding the edges of the SELECT
(A0 or A1) pulse increases the glitch magnitude due to coupling via the ground plane.

5

Bandwidth of the multiplexer is dependent upon the resistor feedback network. Refer to Table III for recommended feedback component values, which give the best
compromise between a wide and a flat frequency response.

6

Select input(s) that is (are) not being driven (i.e., if SELECT is Logic 1, activated input is IN1; in AD8174, if A0 = Logic 0, A1 = Logic 1, activated input is IN2).
Drive all other inputs with VIN = 0.707 V rms, and monitor output at f = 5 MHz and 30 MHz; RL = 100 Ω (see Figure 13).

7

AD8174 only. Shutdown (SD) pin is grounded. Mux is disabled, (i.e., ENABLE = Logic 1) and all inputs are driven simultaneously with VIN = 0.354 V rms. Out­put is monitored at f = 5 MHz and 30 MHz; RL = 100 Ω. In this mode, the output impedance of the disabled mux is very high (typ 10 MΩ), and the signal couples
across the package; the load impedance and the feedback network determine the crosstalk. For instance, in a closed-loop gain of +1, r

OUT

ù 10 MΩ, in a gain of +2

(RF = RG = 549 Ω), r

OUT

= 1.1 kΩ (see Figure 14).

8

AD8174 only. ENABLE pin is grounded. Mux is shutdown (i.e., SD = Logic 1), and all inputs are driven simultaneously with VIN = 0.354 V rms. Output is moni­tored at f = 5 MHz and 30 MHz; RL = 100 Ω. (see Figure 14). The mux output impedance in shutdown mode is the same as the disabled mux output impedance.

9

For Gain Accuracy expression, refer to Equation 4.

WARNING!

ESD SENSITIVE DEVICE

CAUTION

ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection.
Although the AD8170/AD8174 feature proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage
may occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD
precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

MAXIMUM POWER DISSIPATION

The maximum power that can be safely dissipated by the
AD8170 and AD8174 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.
Exceeding this limit temporarily may 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 AD8170 and AD8174 are 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 Figures 2 and 3.

THEORY OF OPERATION
General

The AD8170/AD8174 multiplexers integrate wideband analog
switches with a high speed current feedback amplifier. The
input switches are complementary bipolar follower stages that
are turned on and off by using a current steering technique that
attains switch times of less than 10 ns and ensures low switching
transients. The 250 MHz current feedback amplifier provides
up to 50 mA of drive current. Overall gain and frequency
response are set by external resistors for maximum versatility.

Figure 22 is a block diagram of the multiplexer signal chain,
with a simplified schematic of an input switch. When the
channel is on (i.e., V

ONB

more positive than V

REFB

, V

ONT

more

negative than V

REFT

), I2 flows through Q1 and Q2, and I3 flows
through Q3 and Q4. This biases up Q5 through Q8 to form the
unity gain follower. I1 and I4 (the “off” currents) are steered,
either to another switch or to the power supply. When the
channel turns off, I2 and I3 are steered away while I1 switches
over to pull the base of Q8 up to V

CLT

+ 1 VBE (about 2.7 volts
from ground reference) and I4 switches over to pull the base of
Q5 down to V

CLB

– 1 VBE (about –2.7 volts away from ground
reference). Clamping the bases of the reverse biased output
transistors to a low impedance point greatly improves isolation
performance.

The AD8174 has four switches with outputs wired together and
driving the positive input of a current feedback amplifier to form
a 4:1 multiplexer. It is designed so that only one channel is on
at a time. By bringing

ENABLE high, the supply current for the
amplifier is shut off. This turns the output of the amplifier into
a high impedance, allowing the AD8174 to be used in larger
arrays. In practice, the disabled output impedance of the mux
will be determined by the amplifier’s feedback network.

Bringing SD high shuts off the supply current for all the switches,
that some of the logic control circuitry and the amplifier,
reducing the quiescent current drain to 1.5 mA. If the
ENABLE and SD functions are not to be used, those respective
pins must be tied to ground for proper operation. Any unused
channel input should also be tied to ground.

The AD8170 has two switches driving an amplifier to form a 2:1
multiplexer. No disable or shutdown functions are provided.

Equations 2 and 3 below can be used to predict the output
voltage noise of the multiplexer for different choices of gains
and external resistors. The different contributions to output
noise are root-sum-squared to calculate total output noise
spectral density in Equation 2. As there is no peaking in the
multiplier’s noise characteristic, the total peak-to-peak output
noise will be accurately predicted using Equation 3.

Equation 4 can be used to calculate expected gain error due to
the current feedback amplifier’s finite transimpedance and
common mode rejection. For low gains and recommended
feedback resistors, this will be typically less than 0.4%. For
most applications with gain greater than 1, the dominant source
of gain error will most likely be the ratio-match of the external
resistors. All of the dominant contributors to gain error are
associated with the buffer amplifier and external resistors.
These do not change as different channels are selected, so
channel-to-channel gain match of less than 0.05% is easily
attained.

Choice of External Resistors

The gain and bandwidth of the multiplexer are determined by
the closed-loop gain and bandwidth of the onboard current
feedback amplifier. These both may be customized by the
external resistor feedback network. Table III shows typical
bandwidths at some common closed loop gains for given
feedback and gain resistors (R

F

and RG, respectively).

The choice of R

F

is not critical unless the widest and flattest
frequency response must be maintained. The resistors recom­mended in the table result in the widest 0.1 dB bandwidth with
the least peaking. 1% resistors are recommended for applications
requiring the best control of bandwidth. Packaging parasitics vary
between DIP and SOIC packages, which may result in a slightly
different resistor value for optimum frequency performance.
Wider bandwidths than those listed in the table can be attained
by reducing R

F

at the expense of increased peaking.

To estimate the –3 dB bandwidth for feedback resistors not
listed in Table III, the following single-pole model for the
current feedback amplifier may be used:

Capacitive Load

The general rule for current feedback amplifiers is that the
higher the load capacitance, the higher the feedback resistor
required for stable operation. For the best combination of wide
bandwidth and clean pulse response, a small output resistor is
also recommended, as shown in Figure 24. Table IV contains
values of feedback and series resistors that result in the best
pulse response for a given load capacitance.

Overload Behavior and Recovery

There are three important overload conditions: input voltage
overdrive, output voltage overdrive and current overload at the
amplifier’s negative feedback input.

At a gain of 1, recovery from driving the input voltages beyond
the voltage range of the input switches is very quick, typically
less than 30 ns. Recovery from output overdrive is somewhat
slower and depends on how much the output is overdriven.
Recovery from 15% overdrive is under 60 ns. 50% overdrive
produces recovery times of about 85 ns.

Input overdrive in a high gain application can result in a large
current flow in the input stage. This current is internally limited
to 40 mA. The effect on total power dissipation should be taken
into account.

LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS:

Realizing the high speed performance attainable with the
AD8170 and AD8174 requires careful attention to board layout
and component selection. Proper RF design techniques and low
parasitic component selection are mandatory.

Wire wrap boards, prototype boards, and sockets are not
recommended because of their high parasitic inductance and
capacitance. Instead, surface-mount components should be
soldered directly to a printed circuit board (PCB). The PCB
should have a ground plane covering all unused portions of the
component side of the board to provide a low impedance
ground path. The ground plane should be removed from the
area near input and output pins to reduce stray capacitance.

Chip capacitors should be used for supply bypassing. One end
of the capacitor should be connected to the ground plane and
the other within 1/4 inch of each power pin. An additional large
(4.7 µF–10 µF) tantalum capacitor should be connected in
parallel with each of the smaller capacitors for low impedance
supply bypassing over a broad range of frequencies.

Signal traces should be as short as possible. Stripline or
microstrip techniques should be used for long signal traces
(longer than about 1 inch). These should be designed with a
characteristic impedance of 50 Ω or 75 Ω and be properly
terminated at each end using surface mount components.

Careful layout is imperative to minimize crosstalk. Guards
(ground or supply traces) must be run between all signal traces
to limit direct capacitive coupling. Input and output signal lines
should fan out away from the mux as much as possible. If
multiple signal layers are available, a buried stripline structure
having ground plane above, below, and between signal traces
will have the best crosstalk performance.

Return currents flowing through termination resistors can also
increase crosstalk if these currents flow in sections of the finite­impedance ground circuit that is shared between more than one
input or output. Minimizing the inductance and resistance of the
ground plane can reduce this effect, but further care should be
taken in positioning the terminations. Terminating cables directly
at the connectors will minimize the return current flowing on the
board, but the signal trace between the connector and the mux will
look like an open stub and will degrade the frequency response.
Moving the termination resistors close to the input pins will
improve the frequency response, but the terminations from
neighboring inputs should not have a common ground return.

APPLICATIONS
8-to-1 Video Multiplexer

Two AD8174 4-to-1 multiplexers can be combined with a single
digital inverter to yield an 8-to-1 multiplexer as shown in Figure

26. The

ENABLE control pin allows the two op amp outputs to

be connected together directly. Taking the

ENABLE pin high
shuts off the supply current to the output op amp and places the
op amp’s output and inverting input (Pin 12, –V

IN

) in high

impedance states.
The two least significant bits (LSBs) of the address lines

connect directly to the A0 and A1 inputs of both AD8174
devices. The third address line connects directly to the
ENABLE input on one device and is inverted before being
applied to the

ENABLE input on the second device. As a
result, when one device is enabled, the second device presents a
high impedance. The op amp of the enabled device must
however drive both feedback networks ((549 Ω + 549 Ω)/2).

The gain of this multiplexer has been set to +2 in this example.
This gives an overall gain of +1 when back terminated lines are
used. In applications where switching and settling times are
critical, the digital control pins (A0, A1 and

ENABLE) should

also be appropriately terminated (with either 50 Ω or 75 Ω).

Color Document Scanner

Charge Coupled Devices (CCDs) find widespread use in
scanner applications. A monochrome CCD delivers a serial
stream of voltage levels, each level being proportional to the
light shining on that cell. In the case of the color image scanner
shown, there are three output streams, representing red, green
and blue. Interlaced with the stream of voltage levels is a voltage
representing the reset level (or black level) of each cell. A
Correlated Double Sampler (CDS) subtracts these two voltages
from each other in order to eliminate the relatively large offsets
which are common with CCDs.

The next step in the data acquisition process involves digitizing
the three signal streams. Assuming that the analog to digital
converter chosen has a fast enough sample rate, multiplexing the
three streams into a single ADC is generally more economic
than using one ADC per channel. In the example shown, the
AD8174 is used to multiplex the red, green and blue channels
into the AD876, an 8- or 10-bit 20 MSPS ADC. Because of its
high bandwidth, the AD8174 is capable of driving the switched
capacitor input stage of the AD876 without additional buffering.
In addition to the bandwidth, it is necessary to consider the
settling time of the multiplexer. In this case, the ADC has a
sample rate of 20 MHz which corresponds to a sampling
period of 50 ns. Typically, one phase of the sampling clock is
used for conversion (i.e., all levels are held steady) and the other

phase is used for switching and settling to the next channel.
Assuming a 50% duty cycle, the signal chain must settle within
25 ns. With a settling time to 0.1% of 15 ns, the multiplexer
easily satisfies this criterion.

In the example shown, the fourth (spare) channel of the
AD8174 is used to measure a reference voltage. This voltage
would probably be measured less frequently than the R, G and
B signals. Multiplexing a reference voltage offers the advantage
that any temperature drift effects caused by the multiplexer will
equally impact the reference voltage and the to-be-measured
signals. If the fourth channel is unused, it is good design
practice to tie the input permanently to ground.

EVALUATION BOARD

Evaluation boards for the AD8170 and AD8174 are available
that have been carefully laid out and tested to demonstrate the
specified high speed performance of the devices. Figure 28 and
Figure 32 show the schematics of the AD8170 and AD8174
evaluation boards respectively. For ordering information, please
refer to the Ordering Guide.

Figure 29 shows the silkscreen of the component side of the
solder side of the AD8170 evaluation board. Figures 30 and 31
show the layout of the component side and solder side respec­tively. The silkscreens and layout of the AD8174 evaluation
board are shown in Figures 33, 34, 35 and 36.

Both evaluation boards ship with 75 Ω termination resistors on
their analog inputs and analog outputs. To use the evaluation
board in nonvideo applications where 50 Ω termination is more
popular, these resistors can be replaced with 50 Ω values. The
digital control pins are terminated with 50 Ω resistors to allow
easy connection to laboratory equipment.

The gain of the output current feedback op amp on both boards
has been set to +2. For other gains the two gain resistors can be
easily replaced. Refer to Table III for appropriate values at gains
other than +2.

For connection to external instruments, side-launched SMA
type connectors are provided. Space is also provided on the
board for the installation of SMB of SMC type connectors.

NOTES

1. AD8170R/AD8174R Evaluation Board inputs are configured

with 50 Ω impedance striplines. This FR4 board type has the
following stripline dimensions: 60-mil width, 12-mil gap
between center conductor and outside ground plane “is­lands,” and 62-mil board thickness.

2. Several types of SMA connectors can be mounted on this
board: the side-mount type, which can be easily installed at
the edges of the board; and the top-mount type, which is
placed on top. When using the top-mount SMA connector, it
is recommended that the stripline on the outside 1/8" of the
board edge be removed with an X-Acto blade as this unused
stripline acts as an open stub, which could degrade the small­signal frequency response of the mux.

3. Input termination resistor placement on the evaluation board
is critical to reducing crosstalk. Each termination resistor is
oriented so that ground return currents flow counterclock­wise to a ground plane “island.” Although the direction of
this ground current flow is arbitrary, it is important that no
two input or output termination resistors share a connection
to the same ground “island.”
