ISL59442EVAL1 Evaluation Board User’s Guide
Application Note April 19, 2005
Introduction
The ISL59442EVAL1 evaluation board contains all the
circuitry needed to characterize critical performance
parameters of the ISL59442 single 4:1 MUX-amplifier, over a
variety of applications.
The ISL59442 is a single-output 4:1 MUX-amp. The output
amplifier unity-gain bandwidth is 1GHz. The device
contains logic inputs for channel selection (S0, S1), and a
three-state output control (HIZ) for individual selection of
MUX amps that share a common video output line.
The evaluation board circuit and layout is optimized for
either 50Ω or 75Ω terminations, and implements a basic
single 4:1 video MUX-amp. The board is supplied with 75Ω
input signal terminations and a 75Ω back-termination
resistor on each of the 3 outputs, making it suitable for
driving video cable. The user has the option of replacing the
75Ω resistors with 50Ω resistors for other applications. The
control lines contain 50Ω resistors to match the 50Ω output
impedance of high speed pulse generators. Control line
termination resistors are recommended for rise and fall times
under 10ns to minimize unwanted transients. If DC is used
for the control logic, the resistors may be removed; or the
applied DC voltage can be reduced to 2.5V to reduce the
dissipation in the termination resistor.
The layout contains component options to include an output
series resistor (R
capacitor (C
) followed by a parallel resistor (RL)
S
) network to ground. This option allows the user
L
to select several different output configurations. Examples
are shown in Figures 2A, 2B, and 2C. The evaluation board
is supplied with the 75Ω back termination resistors shown in
Figure 2C.
Amplifier Performance and Output
Configurations
The ISL59442 output amplifier is sensitive to capacitance at
the output. For best AC performance, a series output resistor
is required to reduce excessive gain peaking, particularly
when long PB board traces are used. The output amplifier is
ideally suited for driving high impedance high speed
selectable-gain buffers when gain compensation is needed.
GBW decreases slightly at the lower output load
impedances typical of back-terminated cable driving
applications. Reference data sheets for additional
performance data.

High Frequency Layout Considerations
At frequencies of 500MHz and higher, circuit board layout
may limit performance. The following layout guidelines are
implemented on the evaluation board:
• Signal I/O lines are the same lengths and widths to match
propagation delay and trace parasitics.
• No series connected vias are used in signal I/O lines, as
they can add unwanted inductance.
• Signal trace lengths are minimized to reduce transmission
line effects and the need for strip-line tuning of the signal
traces.
• High frequency decoupling caps are placed as close to the
device power supply pin as possible - without series vias
between the capacitor and the device pin.
Power Sequencing
Proper power supply sequencing is -V first, then +V. In
addition, the +V and -V supply pin voltage rate-of-rise must
be limited to ±1V/µs or less. The evaluation board contains
parallel-connected low V
Schottky diodes on each supply
ON
terminal to minimize the risk of latch up due to incorrect
sequencing. In addition, extra 10µF decoupling capacitors
are added to each supply to aid in reducing the applied
voltage rate-of-rise.
