GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8186 (G = +1) and AD8187 (G = +2) are high speed,
single-supply, triple 2-to-1 multiplexers. They offer –3 dB large signal
bandwidth of over 480 MHz along with a slew rate in excess of
1500 V/µs. With better than –80 dB of all hostile crosstalk and
–95 dB OFF isolation, they are suited for many high speed applica
tions. The differential gain and differential phase error of 0.05%
and 0.05°, along with 0.1 dB flatness to 85 MHz, make the
AD8186 and AD8187 ideal for professional and component video
multiplexing. They offer 4 ns switching time, making
excellent choice for switching video signals while consuming less
than 20 mA on a single 5 V supply (100 mW
high speed disable feature that sets
impedance state. This allows the building of larger input arrays
while minimizing OFF channel output loading. The devices are
offered in a 24-lead TSSOP package.

TJA of 85⬚C/W is on a 4-layer board (2s 2p).
MAXIMUM POWER DISSIPATION
The maximum safe junction temperature for plastic encapsulated
devices is determined by the glass transition temperature of the
plastic, approximately 150ºC. 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. Exceeding a
junction temperature of 175ºC for an extended period can result
in device failure.
While the AD8186/AD8187 is internally short circuit protected,
this may not be sufficient to guarantee that the maximum junction
temperature (150ºC) is not exceeded under all conditions. To
ensure proper operation, it is necessary to observe the maximum
power derating curves shown in Figure 2.

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
AD8186/AD8187 features 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.

The AD8186 (G = +1) and AD8187 (G = +2) are single-supply,
triple 2:1 multiplexers with TTL compatible global
ing and output-enable control. Optimized for select
input switch-
ing between
two RGB (red, green, blue) video sources, the devices have high
peak slew rates, maintaining their bandwidth for large signals.
Additionally, the multiplexers are compensated for high phase
margin, minimizing overshoot for good pixel resolution. The
multiplexers also have respectable video specifications and are
superior for switching NTSC or PAL composite signals.
The multiplexers are organized as three independent channels,
each with two input transconductance stages and one output
transimpedance stage. The appropriate input transconductance
stages are selected via one logic pin (SEL A/B) such that all
three outputs switch input connections simultaneously. The
unused input stages are disabled with a proprietary clamp circuit to provide excellent crosstalk isolation between “on” and
“off” inputs while protecting the disabled devices from damaging reverse base-emitter voltage stress. No additional input
buffering is necessary, resulting in low input capacitance and
high input impedance without additional signal degradation.
The transconductance stage, a high slew rate, class AB circuit,
sources signal current into a high impedance node. Each output
stage contains a compensation network and is buffered to the
output by a complementary emitter-follower stage. Voltage
feedback sets the gain, with the AD8186 configured as a unity
gain follower and the AD8187 as a gain-of-two amplifier with a
feedback network. This architecture provides drive for a reverseterminated video load (150 ⍀) with low differential gain and
phase errors while consuming relatively little power. Careful
chip layout and biasing result in excellent crosstalk isolation
between channels.
High Impedance, Output Disable Feature, and Off Isolation
The output-enable logic pin (OE) controls whether the three
outputs are enabled or disabled to a high impedance state.
The high impedance disable allows larger matrices to be built
by busing the outputs together. In the case of the AD8187
(G = +2), a feedback isolation scheme is used so that the
impedance of the gain-of-two feedback network does not load
the output. When not in use, the outputs can be disabled to
reduce power consumption.
The reader may have noticed that the off isolation performance of
the signal path is dependent upon the value of the load resistor,
RL. For calculating off isolation, the signal path may be modeled
as a simple high-pass network with an effective capacitance of
3 fF. Off isolation will improve as the load resistance is decreased. In
the case of the AD8186, off isolation is specified with a 1 kΩ
load. However, a practical application would likely gang the
outputs of multiple muxes. In this case, the proper load resistance
for the off isolation calculation is the output impedance of an
enabled AD8186, typically less than a 10th of an ohm.
Full Power Bandwidth vs. –3 dB Large Signal Bandwidth
Note that full power bandwidth for an undistorted sinusoidal signal
is often calculated using the peak slew rate from the equation
Full Power Bandwidth =
Peak Slew Rate
Sinusoid Amplitude2π×
The peak slew rate is not the same as the average slew rate. The
average slew rate is typically specified as the ratio
∆∆V
OUT
t
measured between the 20% to 80% output levels of a sufficiently large output pulse. For a natural response, the peak slew
rate may be 2.7 times larger than the average slew rate. Therefore, calculating a full power bandwidth with a specified average
slew rate will give a pessimistic result. In specifying the large
signal performance of these multiplexers, we’ve published the
large-signal bandwidth, the average slew rate, and the measurements of the total harmonic distortion. (Large signal bandwidth
is defined as the –3 dB point measured on a 2 V p-p output
sine wave.) Specifying these three aspects of the signal path’s
large signal dynamics allows the user to predict system behavior
for either pulse or sinusoid waveforms.

The trade-off is that the input and output compliance is limited
to ~1.3 V from either rail when driving a 150 ⍀ load. These
sections address some challenges of designing video systems
within a single 5 V supply.
The AD8186
The AD8186 is internally wired as a unity-gain follower. Its
inputs and outputs can both swing to within ~1.3 V of either
rail. This affords the user 2.4 V of dynamic range at input and
output, which should be enough for most video signals, whether
the inputs are ac- or dc-coupled. In both cases, the choice of
output termination voltage will determine the quiescent load
current.
For improved supply rejection, the V
pin should be tied to
REF
an ac ground (the more quiet supply is a good bet). Internally,
the V
pin connects to one terminal of an on-chip capacitor.
REF
The capacitor’s other terminal connects to an internal node.
The consequence of building this bypass capacitor on-chip is
twofold. First, the V
pin on the AD8186 draws no input bias
REF
current. (Contrast this to the case of the AD8187, where the
pin typically draws 2 µA of input bias current). Second,
V
REF
on the AD8186, the V
pin may be tied to any voltage within
REF
the supply range.

The AD8187
The AD8187 uses on-chip feedback resistors to realize the gainof-two function. To provide low crosstalk and a high output
impedance when disabled, each set of 500 Ω feedback resistors is
terminated by a dedicated reference buffer. A reference buffer is
a high speed op amp configured as a unity-gain follower. The
three reference buffers, one for each channel, share a single, high
impedance input, the V

Using superposition, it is easily shown that
3) To maximize the output dynamic range, the reference voltage
should be chosen with some care.
For example, consider amplifying a 700 mV video signal with a
sync pulse 300 mV below black level. The user might decide to set
V
at black level to preferentially run video signals on the faster
REF
NPN transistor path. The AD8186 would, in this case, allow a
reference voltage as low as 1.3 V + 300 mV = 1.6 V. If the AD8187
is used, the sync pulse would be amplified to 600 mV. Therefore,
the lower limit on V
becomes 1.3 V + 600 mV = 1.9 V. For
REF
routing RGB video, an advantageous configuration would be to
employ +3 V and –2 V supplies, in which case V
could be
REF
tied to ground.
If system considerations prevent running the multiplexer on split
supplies, a false ground reference should be employed. A low
impedance reference may be synthesized with a second operational amplifier. Alternately, a well bypassed resistor divider
may serve. Refer to the Application section for further explana-
and more examples.

High Impedance Disable
Both the AD8186 and the AD8187 may have their outputs
disabled to a high impedance state. In the case of the AD8187,
the reference buffers also disable to a state of high output
impedance. This feature prevents the feedback network of a
disabled channel from loading the output, which is valuable
when busing together the outputs of several muxes.

AC-Coupled Inputs (DC Restore before Mux Input)
Using ac-coupled inputs presents an interesting challenge for video
systems operating from a single 5 V supply. In NTSC and PAL
video systems, 700 mV is the approximate difference between the
maximum signal voltage and black level. It is assumed that sync
has been stripped. However, given the two pathological cases
shown in Figure 7, a dynamic range of twice the maximum signal
swing is required if the inputs are to be ac-coupled. A possible
solution would be to use a dc restore circuit before the mux.

), can seriously degrade

phase margin and therefore stability. The old workaround is to
place a small series resistance directly at the output to isolate the
load pole. While effective, this ruse also affects the dc and termination characteristics of a 75 Ω system. The AD8186 and AD8187
are built with a variable compensation scheme that senses the
output reactance and trades bandwidth for phase margin, ensuring
faster settling and lower overshoot at higher capacitive loads.
Secondary Supplies and Supply Bypassing
The high current output transistors are given their own supply
pins (Pins 15, 17, 19, and 21) to reduce supply noise on-chip
and to improve output isolation. Since these secondary, high
current supply pins are not connected on-chip to the primary
analog supplies (V
, Pins 6, 7, 9, 11, 13, and 24), some
CC/VEE
care should be taken to ensure that the supply bypass capacitors
are connected to the correct pins. At a minimum, the primary
supplies should be bypassed. Pin 6 and Pin 7 may be a convenient
place to accomplish this. Stacked power and ground planes could
be a convenient way to bypass the high current supply pins.

Single-Supply Operation
The AD8186/AD8187 are targeted mainly for use in singlesupply 5 V systems. For operating on these supplies, both V
and D

should be tied to ground. The control logic pins will

set to the same positive supply as the driving logic.
For dc-coupled single-supply operation, it is necessary to set an
appropriate input dc level that is within the specified range of the
amplifier. For the unity-gain AD8186, the output dc level will
be the same as the input, while for the gain-of-two AD8187, the
V
input can be biased to obtain an appropriate output dc level.
REF
Figure 10 shows a circuit that provides a gain-of-two and is
dc-
coupled. The video input signals must have a dc bias
from their source of approximately 1.5 V. This same volt-

video signal is at 1.5 V, the output will also be at the
the
voltage. This is close to the lower dynamic range of

of the AD8187. The result is that when
REF
both the input and the output.
When the input goes most positive, which is 700 mV above the
black level for a standard video signal, it reaches a value of 2.2 V
and there is enough headroom for the signal. On the output
side, the magnitude of the signal will change by 1.4 V, which
will make the maximum output voltage 2.2 V + 1.4 V = 3.6 V.
This is just within the dynamic range of the output of the part.
AC Coupling
When a video signal is ac-coupled, the amount of dynamic range
required to handle the signal can potentially be double that
required for dc-coupled operation. For the unity-gain AD8186,
there is still enough dynamic range to handle an ac-coupled,
standard video signal with 700 mV p-p amplitude.
If the input is biased at 2.5 V dc, the input signal can potentially go
700 mV both above and below this point. The resulting 1.8 V and
2.2 V are within the input signal range for single 5 V operation.
Since the part is unity-gain, the outputs will follow the inputs,
and there will be adequate range at the output as well.
When using the gain-of-two AD8187 in a simple ac-coupled
application, there will be a dynamic range limitation at the output
caused by its higher gain. At the output, the gain-of-two will
produce a signal swing of 1.4 V, but the ac coupling will double
this required amount to 2.8 V. The AD8187 outputs can only
swing from 1.4 V to 3.6 V on a 5 V supply, so there are only
2.2 V of dynamic signal swing available at the output.
A standard means for reducing the dynamic range requirements
of an ac-coupled video signal is to use a dc restore. This circuit
works to limit the dynamic range requirements by clamping the
black level of the video signal to a fixed level at the input to the
amplifier. This prevents the video content of the signal from
varying the black level as happens in a simple ac-coupled circuit.
After ac coupling a video signal, it is always necessary to use a
dc restore to establish where the black level is. Usually, this
appears at the end of a video signal chain. This dc restore circuit
needs to have the required accuracy for the
sates for all the offsets of the preceding
system. It compen-
stages. Therefore, if a
dc restore circuit is to be used only for dynamic-range limiting,
it does not require great dc accuracy.

AD8186/AD8187
A dc restore circuit using the AD8187 is shown in Figure 11.
Two separate sources of RGB video are ac-coupled to the
µF input capacitors of the AD8187. The input points of
0.1
the
AD8187 are switched to a 1.5 V reference by the ADG786,
which works in the following manner:
The SEL A/B signal selects the A or B inputs to the AD8187. It
also selects the switch positions in the ADG786 such that the
same selected inputs will be connected to V
when EN is low.
REF
During the horizontal interval, all of the RGB input signals are at
a flat black level. A logic signal that is low during HSYNC is
applied to the EN of the ADG786. This closes the switches
clamps the black level to 1.5 V. At all other times, the switches
and
are off and the node at the inputs to the AD8187 floats.
There are two considerations for sizing the input coupling capacitors. One is the time constant during the H-pulse clamping. The
other is the droop associated with the capacitor discharge due to the
input bias current of the AD8187. For the former, it is better to
have a small capacitor; but for the latter, a larger capacitor is better.
The ON resistance of the ADG786 and the coupling capacitor
forms the time constant of the input clamp. The ADG786 ON
resistance is 5 Ω max. With a 0.1 µF capacitor, a time constant
of 0.5 µs is created. Thus, a sync pulse of greater than 2.5 µs will
cause less than 1% error. This is not critical because the
level from successive lines is very close and the voltage
black
changes
little from line to line.
A rough approximation for the horizontal line time for a graphics
system is 30 µs. This will vary depending on the resolution and
the vertical rate. The coupling capacitor needs to hold the voltage
relatively constant during this time while the input bias current
of the AD8187 is discharging it.
The change in voltage is I
the capacitance. With an I
times the line time divided by
BIAS
of 2.5 µA, a line time of 30 µs,
BIAS
and a 0.1 µF coupling capacitor, the amount of droop is
0.75 mV. This is roughly 0.1% of the full video amplitude and
will not be observable in the video display.
High Speed Design Considerations
The AD8186/AD8187 are extremely high speed switching amplifiers for routing the highest resolution graphic signals. Extra care
is required in the circuit design and layout to ensure that the full
resolution of the video is realized.
First, the board should have at least one layer of a solid ground
plane. Long signal paths should be referenced to a ground plane
as controlled-impedance traces. All bypass capacitors should be
very close to the pins of the part with absolutely minimum extra
circuit length in the path. It is also helpful to have a large V
CC
plane on a circuit board layer that is closely spaced to the ground
plane. This creates a low inductance interplane capacitance,
which is very helpful in supplying the fast transient currents that
the part demands during high resolution signal transitions.
Evaluation Board
An evaluation board has been designed and is offered for running the AD8186/AD8187 on a single supply. The inputs and
outputs
are ac-coupled and terminated with 75 Ω resistors.
For the AD8187, a potentiometer is provided to allow setting
at
V
any value between VCC and ground.
REF
The logic control signals can be statically set by adding or
removing a jumper. If it is required to drive the logic pins
with a fast signal, an SMA connector can be used to deliver the
signal, and a place for a termination resistor is provided.
