Harmonic Distortion vs. Output VoltageHarmonic Distortion vs. Output Voltage
The LMH6572 is a high-speed triple 2:1 multiplexer, optimized for very high speed and low distortion. With a fixed
gain of 2 and excellent AC performance, the LMH6572 is
ideally suited for switching high resolution, presentation
grade video signals. The LMH6572 has no internal ground
reference. Single or split supply configurations are both possible. The LMH6572 features very high speed channel
switching and disable times. When disabled the LMH6572
output is high impedance making MUX expansion possible
by combining multiple devices.

VIDEO PERFORMANCE
The LMH6572 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 75.
Cable. The output buffer is configured for a gain of 2, so
using back terminated loads will give a net gain of 1.
SINGLE SUPPLY OPERATION
The LMH6572 uses mid supply referenced circuits for the
select and disable pins. In order to use the LMH6572 in
single supply configuration it is necessary to use a circuit
similar to Figure 2. In this configuration the logical inputs are
compatible with high breakdown Open collector TTL, or
Open Drain CMOS logic. In addition, the default logic state is
reversed since there is a pull up resistor on those pins.
Single supply operation also requires the input to be biased

MULTIPLEXER EXPANSION
With the Enable or the Select pins putting the output stage
into a high impedance state, several LMH6572’s can be tied
together to form a larger input MUX. However, there is a
slight loading effect on the active output caused by the
off-channel feedback and gain set resistors, as shown in
Figure 3 below. Figure 3 is assuming there are 4 LMH6572
outputs (2 LMH6572 devices) similar to the schematic of
Figure 4. With the internal resistors valued at 800Ω, the
effect is rather slight. For the 4:1 MUX function shown in
Figure 3, the gain error is only about -0.57 dB, or about 6%.

Application Notes (Continued)
FIGURE 3. Multiplexer Input Expansion by
Combining Output
An alternate approach would be to tie the outputs directly
together and let all devices share a common back termination resistor in order to alleviate the gain error issue above.
The drawback in this case is the increased capacitive load
presented to the output of each LMH6572 due to the offstate capacitance of the LMH6572.
EXPANDING THE MUX
It is possible to build higher density MUX’s by paralleling
several LMH6572’s. Figure 4 shows a 4:1 RGB MUX using
two LMH6572’s:
20109617
FIGURE 4. RGB MUX USING TWO LMH6572’s
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, prior to the ENABLE (EN)
pin of each device, as shown. Figure 5 shows one possible
20109618

Other Applications
The LMH6572 may be utilized in systems that involve a
single RGB channel as well whenever there is a need to
switch between different “flavors” of a single RGB input.
Here are some examples:
2. RGB full resolution, High Pass filter switch
In each of these applications, the same RGB input occupies
one set of inputs to the LMH6572 and the other “flavor”
would be tied to the other input set.
DRIVING CAPACITIVE LOADS
Capacitive output loading applications will benefit from the
use of a series output resistor R
of a series output resistor, R
output under capacitive loading. Capacitive loads of
5 to 120 pF are the most critical, causing ringing, frequency
response peaking and possible oscillation. The chart “Suggested R
vs. Cap Load” gives a recommended value for
OUT
selecting a series output resistor for mitigating capacitive
loads. The values suggested in the charts are selected for .5
dB or less of peaking in the frequency response. This gives
a good compromise between settling time and bandwidth.
For applications where maximum frequency response is
needed and some peaking is tolerable, the value of R
can be reduced slightly from the recommended values.

LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
Whenever questions about layout arise, use the evaluation
board as a guide. The LMH730151 is the evaluation board
supplied with samples of the LMH6572. 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 and
Figure 2, 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 .01 µF and
.1 µF ceramic capacitors for each supply bypass.

POWER DISSIPATION
The LMH6572 is optimized for maximum speed and performance in the small form factor of the standard SSOP package. To achieve its high level of performance, the LMH6572
consumes 23 mA of quiescent current, which cannot be
neglected when considering the total package power dissipation limit. To ensure maximum output drive and highest
performance, thermal shutdown is not provided. Therefore, it
is of utmost importance to make sure that the T
exceeded due to the overall power dissipation.
Follow these steps to determine the Maximum power dissipation for the LMH6572:
1. Calculate the quiescent (no-load) power: P

ESD PROTECTION
The LMH6572 is protected against electrostatic discharge
(ESD) on all pins. The LMH6572 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 diodes will be evident. If the LMH6572 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. Shorting the
power pins to each other will prevent the chip from being
powered up through the input.
