The LT®1204 is a 4-input video multiplexer designed to
drive 75Ω cables and easily expand into larger routing
systems. Wide bandwidth, high slew rate, and low differential gain and phase make the LT1204 ideal for broadcast
quality signal routing. Channel separation and disable
isolation are greater than 90dB up to 10MHz. The channelto-channel output switching transient is only 40mV
with a 50ns duration, making the transition imperceptible
on high quality monitors.
A unique feature of the LT1204 is its ability to expand into
larger routing matrices. This is accomplished by a patent
pending circuit that bootstraps the feedback resistors in
the disable condition, raising the true output impedance of
the circuit. The effect of this feature is to eliminate cable
misterminations in large systems.
The large input and output signal levels supported by the
LT1204 when operated on ±15V supplies make it ideal for
general purpose analog signal selection and multiplexing.
A shutdown feature reduces the supply current to 1.5mA.

Note 1: Analog and digital inputs (Pins 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11 and 12) are
protected against ESD and overvoltage with internal SCRs. For inputs
< ±6V the SCR will not fire, voltages above 6V will fire the SCRs and
the DC current should be limited to 50mA. To turn off the SCR the pin
voltage must be reduced to less than 2V or the current reduced to less
than 10mA.
Note 2: A heat sink may be required depending on the power supply
voltage.
Note 3: Commercial grade parts are designed to operate over the
temperature range of –40°C to 85°C but are neither tested nor
guaranteed beyond 0°C to 70°C. Industrial grade parts specified and
tested over –40°C to 85°C are available on special request. Consult

Logic Inputs
The logic inputs of the LT1204 are compatible with all 5V
logic. All pins have ESD protection (>2kV), and shorting
them to 12V or 15V will cause excessive currents to flow.
Limit the current to less than 50mA when driving the logic
above 6V.
Power Supplies
The LT1204 will operate from ±5V (10V total) to ±15V
(30V total) and is specified over this range. It is not
necessary to use equal value supplies, however, the offset
voltage and inverting input bias current will change. The
offset voltage changes about 600µV per volt of supply
mismatch. The inverting bias current changes about 2.5µA
per volt of supply mismatch. The power supplies should
be bypassed with quality tantalum capacitors.

specified over a very wide range of conditions. An advantage of the current feedback topology used in the LT1204
is well-controlled frequency response. In all cases of the
performance table, the peaking is 0.1dB or less. If more
peaking can be tolerated, larger bandwidths can be
obtained by lowering the feedback resistor. For gains of
2 or less, the 0.1dB bandwidth is greater than 30MHz for
all loads and supply voltages.
At high gains (low values of RG) the disabled output
resistance drops slightly due to loading of the internal
buffer amplifier as discussed in Multiplexer Expansion.
Small-Signal Rise Time, AV = 2
Feedback Resistor Selection
The small-signal bandwidth of the LT1204 is set by the
external feedback resistors and internal junction capacitors. As a result the bandwidth is a function of the supply
voltage, the value of the feedback resistor, the closedloop gain and the load resistor. These effects are outlined
in the resistor selection guide of the Typical AC Performance table. Bandwidths range as high as 95MHz and are

Capacitance on the Inverting Input
Current feedback amplifiers require resistive feedback
from the output to the inverting input for stable operation.
Take care to minimize the stray capacitance between the
output and the inverting input. Capacitance on the inverting input to ground will cause peaking in the frequency
response and overshoot in the transient response.
Capacitive Loads
The LT1204 can drive capacitive loads directly when the
proper value of feedback resistor is used. The graph of
Maximum Capacitive Load vs Feedback Resistor should
be used to select the appropriate value. The value shown
is for 5dB peaking when driving a 1k load at a gain of 2.
This is a worst-case condition. The amplifier is more
stable at higher gains and driving heavier loads. Alternatively, a small resistor (10Ω to 20Ω) can be put in series
with the output to isolate the capacitive load from the
amplifier output. This has the advantage that the amplifier bandwidth is only reduced when the capacitive load
is present. The disadvantage is that the gain is a function
of load resistance.

Slew Rate
The slew rate of the current feedback amplifier on the
LT1204 is not independent of the amplifier gain the way
slew rate is in a traditional op amp. This is because both the
input and the output stage have slew rate limitations. In
high gain settings the signal amplitude between the negative input and any driven positive input is small and the
overall slew rate is that of the output stage. For gains less
than 10, the overall slew rate is limited by the input stage.
The input slew rate of the LT1204 is approximately 135V/µs
and is set by internal currents and capacitances. The
output slew rate is set by the value of the feedback
resistors and the internal capacitances. At a gain of 10 with
a 1k feedback resistor and ±15 supplies, the output slew
rate is typically 1000V/µs. Larger feedback resistors will
reduce the slew rate as will lower supply voltages, similar
to the way the bandwidth is reduced.
The graph, Maximum Undistorted Output vs Frequency,
relates the slew rate limitations to sinusoidal inputs for
various gain configurations.

Switching Characteristics and Pin 8
Switching between channels is a “make-before-break”
condition where both inputs are on momentarily. The
buffers isolate the inputs when the “make-before-break”
switching occurs. The input with the largest positive
voltage determines the output level. If both inputs are
equal, there is only a 40mV error at the input of the CFA
during the transition. The reference adjust (Pin 8) allows
the user to trade off positive input voltage range for
switching time. For example, on ±15V supplies, setting
the voltage on Pin 8 to –6.8V reduces the switching
transient to a 50ns duration, and reduces the positive input
range from 6V to 2.35V. The negative input range remains
unchanged at –6V. When switching video “in picture,” this
short transient is imperceptible even on high quality

monitors. The reference pin has no effect when the LT1204
is operating on ±5V, and should be grounded. On supply
voltages above ±8V, the range of voltages for Pin 8 should
be between – 6.5V and – 7.5V. Reducing Pin 8 voltage
below – 7.5V turns “on” the “off” tee switch, and the
isolation between channels is lost.

Crosstalk
The crosstalk, or more accurately all hostile crosstalk, is
measured by driving a signal into any three of the four
inputs and selecting the 4th input with the logic control.
This 4th input is either shorted to ground or terminated in
an impedance. All hostile crosstalk is defined as the ratio
in decibel of the signal at the output of the CFA to the signal
on the three driven inputs, and is input-referred. Disable
crosstalk is measured with all four inputs driven and the
part disabled. Crosstalk is critical in many applications
where video multiplexers are used. In professional video
systems, a crosstalk figure of –72dB is a desirable
specification.

Competitive video multiplexers built in CMOS are bidirectional and suffer from poor output-to-input isolation and
cause transients to feed to the inputs. CMOS MUXs have
been built with “break-before-make” switches to eliminate
the talking between channels, but these suffer from output
glitches large enough to interfere with sync circuitry.
Multiplexers built on older bipolar processes that switch
lateral PNP transistors take several microseconds to settle
and blur the transition between pictures.
The key to the outstanding crosstalk performance of the
LT1204 is the use of tee switches (see Figure 1). When the
tee switch is on (Q2 off) Q1 and Q3 are a pair of emitter
followers with excellent AC response for driving the CFA.

When the decoder turns off the tee switch (Q2 on) the
emitter base junctions of Q1 and Q3 become reversebiased while Q2 emitter absorbs current from I1. Not only
do the reverse-biased emitter base junctions provide good
isolation, but any signal at V
coupling to Q1 emitter is
IN0
further attenuated by the shunt impedance of Q2 emitter.
Current from I2 is routed to any on switch.
Crosstalk performance is a strong function of the IC
package, the PC board layout as well as the IC design. The
die layout utilizes grounds between each input to isolate
adjacent channels, while the output and feedback pins are
on opposite sides of the die from the input. The layout of
a PC board that is capable of providing –90dB all hostile
crosstalk at 10MHz is not trivial. That level corresponds to
a 30µV output below a 1V input at 10MHz. A demonstra-
tion board has been fabricated to show the component and
ground placement required to attain these crosstalk num-

SO packages is shown. It has been found empirically from
these PC boards that capacitive coupling across the package of greater than 3fF (0.003pF) will diminish the rejection, and it is recommended that this proven layout be
copied into designs. The key to the success of the SO PC
board #028 is the use of a ground plane guard around Pin
13, the feedback pin.

Multiplexer Expansion Pin 11 and Pin 12
To expand the number of MUX inputs, LT1204s can be
paralleled by shorting their outputs together. The multiplexer disable logic has been designed to prevent shootthrough current when two or more amplifiers have their
outputs shorted together. (Shoot-through current is a
spike of power supply current caused by both amplifiers
being on at once.)

The multiplexer uses a circuit to ensure the disabled
amplifiers do not load or alter the cable termination. When
the LT1204 is disabled (Pin 11 low) the output stage is
turned off and an active buffer senses the output and
drives the feedback pin to the CFA (Figure 2). This bootstraps the feedback resistors and raises the true output
impedance of the circuit. For the condition where RF = R
G
= 1k, the Disable Output Resistance is typically raised to
25k and drops to 20k for AV = 10, RF = 2k and RG = 222Ω
due to loading of the feedback buffer. Operating the
Disable feature with RG < 100Ω is not recommended.

A shutdown feature (Pin 12 low) reduces the supply
current to 1.5mA and lowers the power dissipation
when the LT1204 is not in use. If the part is shut down,
the bootstrapping is inoperative and the feedback resistors will load the output. If the CFA is operated at a gain
of +1, however, the feedback resistor will not load the
output even in shutdown because there is no resistive
path to ground, but there will be a –6dB loss through
the cable system.
A frequency response plot shows the effect of using the
disable feature versus using the shutdown feature. In
this example four LT1204s were connected together at
their outputs forming a 16-to-1 MUX. The plot shows the
effect of the bootstrapping circuit that eliminates the

This voltage represents a 2.1% loading error. If the
shutdown feature is used instead of the disable feature,
then the LT1204 could expand to only an 8-to-1 MUX for
the same error.
As a practical matter the gain error at frequency is also
set by capacitive loading. The disabled output capacitance of the LT1204 is about 8pF, and in the case of
sixteen LT1204s, it would represent a 128pF load. The
combination of 1.67k and 128pF correspond to about a
0.3dB roll-off at 5MHz.

can be used to convert differential signals sent over a low

loop-thru connections. The logic inputs A0 and A1 are tied
together because the same channels are selected on each
LT1204. By using the Disable feature, the number of
differential inputs can be increased by adding pairs of
LT1204s and tying the outputs of the noninverting LT1204s
(#1) together. Switching transients are reduced in this
receiver because the transient from LT1204 #2 subtracted
from the transient of LT1204 #1.

It is possible to send and receive color composite video

The cost advantage of this technique is significant. Standard 75Ω RG-59/U coaxial cable cost between 25¢ and
50¢ per foot. PVC twisted pair is only pennies per foot.
Differential signal transmission resists noise because the
interference is present as a common mode signal. The
