The LMH™6570 is a high performance analog multiplexer
optimized for professional grade video and other high fidelity
high bandwidth analog applications. The output amplifier
selects one of two buffered input signals based on the state
of the SEL pin. The LMH6570 provides a 400 MHz bandwidth at 2 V
definition television (HDTV) applications can benefit from the
LMH6570’s 0.1 dB bandwidth of 150 MHz and its 2200 V/µs
slew rate.
The LMH6570 supports composite video applications with its
0.02% and 0.05˚ differential gain and phase errors for NTSC
and PAL video signals while driving a single, back terminated
75Ω load. An 80 mA linear output current is available for
driving multiple video load applications.
The LMH6570 gain is set by external feedback and gain set
resistors for maximum flexibility.
The LMH6570 is available in the 8 pin SOIC package.

The LMH6570 is a high-speed 2:1 analog multiplexer, optimized for very high speed and low distortion. With selectable
gain and excellent AC performance, the LMH6570 is ideally
suited for switching high resolution, presentation grade video
signals. The LMH6570 has no internal ground reference.
Single or split supply configurations are both possible, however, all logic functions are referenced to the mid supply
point. The LMH6570 features very high speed channel
switching and disable times. When disabled the LMH6570
output is high impedance making MUX expansion possible
by combining multiple devices. See “Multiplexer Expansion”
section below. The LMH6570 SEL defaults to logic low (IN0
active). The default state for the SD pin is also logic low
(device enabled). Both pins can be left floating if the default
state is desired.
VIDEO PERFORMANCE
The LMH6570 has been designed to provide excellent performance with production quality video signals in a wide
variety of formats such as HDTV and High Resolution VGA.
Best performance will be obtained with back-terminated
loads. The back termination reduces reflections from the
transmission line and effectively masks transmission line
and other parasitic capacitances from the amplifier output
stage. Figure 1 shows a typical configuration for driving a
75Ω cable. The output buffer is configured for a gain of 2, so
using back terminated loads will give a net gain of 1.

The impedance looking into pin 8 is approximately 20Ω. This
allows for good bandwidth at gains up to 10 V/V. When used
with gains over 10 V/V, the LMH6570 will exhibit a “gain
bandwidth product” similar to a typical voltage feedback
amplifier. For gains of over 10 V/V consider selecting a high
performance video amplifier like the LMH6720 to provide
additional gain.
EVALUATION BOARDS
National Semiconductor provides the following evaluation
boards as a guide for high frequency layout and as an aid in
device testing and characterization. Many of the data sheet

devices. The circuit in Figure 3 shows how to compensate
for this effect. For the 8:1 MUX function shown in Figure 3
below the gain error would be about 0.7% or −0.06dB. In the
circuit in Figure 3, resistor ratios have been adjusted to
compensate for this gain error. By adjusting the gain of each
multiplexer circuit the error can be reduced to the tolerance
of the resistors used (1% in this example).

If it is important in the end application to make sure that no
two inputs are presented to the output at the same time, an
optional delay block can be added, to drive the SHUTDOWN

approach to this delay circuit. The delay circuit shown will

Other Applications
The LMH6570 could support a dual antenna receiver with
two physically separate antennas. Monitoring the signal
strength of the active antenna and switching to the other
antenna when a fade is detected is a simple way to achieve
spacial diversity. This method gives about a 3dB boost in
average signal strength and is the least expensive method
for combining signals.

LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
Whenever questions about layout arise, use the evaluation
board as a guide. The LMH730277 is the evaluation board
supplied with samples of the LMH6570. To reduce parasitic
capacitances, ground and power planes should be removed
near the input and output pins. For long signal paths controlled impedance lines should be used, along with impedance matching elements at both ends. Bypass capacitors
should be placed as close to the device as possible. Bypass
capacitors from each rail to ground are applied in pairs. The
larger electrolytic bypass capacitors can be located farther
from the device, the smaller ceramic capacitors should be
placed as close to the device as possible. In Figure 1, the
capacitor between V
+
and V−is optional, but is recommended for best second harmonic distortion. Another way to
enhance performance is to use pairs of 0.01µF and 0.1µF
ceramic capacitors for each supply bypass.
POWER DISSIPATION

utmost importance to make sure that the T

ESD PROTECTION
The LMH6570 is protected against electrostatic discharge
(ESD) on all pins. The LMH6570 will survive 2000V Human
Body model and 200V Machine model events. Under normal
operation the ESD diodes have no effect on circuit performance. There are occasions, however, when the ESD di-
LMH6570
odes will be evident. If the LMH6570 is driven by a large
signal while the device is powered down the ESD diodes will
conduct . The current that flows through the ESD diodes will
either exit the chip through the supply pins or will flow
through the device, hence it is possible to power up a chip
with a large signal applied to the input pins. Using the
shutdown mode is one way to conserve power and still
prevent unexpected operation.
