The FMS6501A switch matrix provides flexible options
for today’s video applications. The device has twelve
(12) inputs that can be routed to any of the nine (9)
outputs. Each input can be routed to one or more
outputs, but only one input may be routed to any one
output. The input-to-output routing is controlled via an
2
I C-compatible digital interface.

Each input supports an integrated clamp option to set
the output sync-tip level of video with sync to
approximately 300 mV. Alternatively, the input may be
internally biased to center signals without sync
(Chroma, Pb, Pr) at approximately 1.25 V. These DC
output levels are for the 6 dB gain setting. Higher gain
settings increase the DC output levels accordingly. The
2
input clamp/bias mode is selected via I C control.
Unused outputs may be powered down to reduce power
dissipation.

the output amplifier. More than one output can select
the same input channel for one-to-many routing. When
the outputs are disabled, they are placed in a highimpedance state. This allows multiple FMS6501A
devices to be paralleled to create a larger switch matrix.
Typical output power-up time is less than 500 ns.
Digital Interface
2
The I C-compatible interface is used to program output
enables, input-to-output routing, input clamp / bias, and
2
output gain. The I C address is 0x06 (0000 0110) with
the ability to offset it to 0x86 (1000 0110) by tying the
ADDR pin HIGH.
The clamp / bias control bits are written to their own
internal addresses, since they should always remain the
same regardless of signal routing. They are set based
on the input signal connected to the FMS6501A.
Both data and address data, of eight bits each, are
2
written to the I C address to access control functions.
There are separate internal addresses for each output.
Each output’s address includes bits to select an input
channel, adjust the output gain, and enable or disable
All undefined addresses may be written without effect.

Operation
Bit Transfer
The I2C-compatible interface conforms to the I2C
specification for Standard Mode. Individual addresses
may be written. There is no read capability. The
interface consists of two lines. These is a serial data line
(SDA) and a serial clock line (SCL), both of which must
be connected to a positive supply through an external
resistor. Data transfer may be initiated only when the
bus is not busy.
One data bit is transferred during each clock pulse. The
data on the SDA line must remain stable during the
HIGH period of the clock pulse. Changes in the line
during this time are interpreted as a control signal.

Start and Stop Conditions
The data and clock lines remain HIGH when the bus is
not busy. A HIGH-to-LOW transition of the data line,
while the clock is HIGH, is defined as START condition
SCL
(S). A LOW-to-HIGH transition of the data line, while the
clock is HIGH, is defined as STOP condition (P).

Figure 5. Definition of START and STOP conditions
Acknowledge
The number of data bytes transferred between the
START and STOP conditions from transmitter to
receiver is unlimited. Each byte of eight bits is followed
by an acknowledge bit. The acknowledge bit is a highlevel signal put on the bus by the transmitter, during
which the master generates an extra acknowledgerelated clock pulse. A slave receiver must generate an
acknowledge (ACK) after the reception of each byte. A
master receiver must generate an acknowledge after
the reception of each byte that has been clocked out of
the slave transmitter.
© 2012 Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation
FMS6501A • Rev. 1.0.0
The device that acknowledges must pull down the SDA
line during the acknowledge clock pulse so the SDA line
is stable LOW during the HIGH period of the
acknowledge-related clock pulse (set-up and hold times
must be taken into consideration). A master receiver
must signal an end of data to the transmitter by not
generating an acknowledge on the last byte clocked out
of the slave. In this event, the transmitter must leave the
data line HIGH to enable the master to generate a
STOP condition.

Input Clamp / Bias Circuitry
The FMS6501A accommodates AC- or DC-coupled
inputs. Internal clamping and bias circuitry are provided
to support AC-coupled inputs. These are selectable
through the CLMP bits via the I2C compatible interface.
Video source must
be AC coupled
For DC-coupled inputs, the device should be
programmed to use the bias input configuration. In this
configuration, the input is internally biased to 625 mV
through a 100 kΩ resistor. Distortion is optimized with
the output levels set between 250 mV above ground
and 500 mV below the power supply. These constraints,
along with the desired channel gain, need to be
considered when configuring the input signal levels for
input DC coupling.

Figure 9. Bias Mode Input Circuit
Output Configuration
The FMS6501A outputs may be either AC or DC
coupled. Resistive output loads can be as low as 75 Ω,
representing a dual doubly terminated video load. High
impedance capacitive loads of up to 20 pF can be
driven without loss of signal integrity. For standard 75 Ω
video loads, a 75 Ω matching resistor should be placed
in series to allow for a doubly terminated load. DCcoupled outputs should be connected as shown in
Figure 10.
With AC-coupled inputs, the FMS6501A uses a simple
clamp rather than a full DC-restore circuit. For video
signals with and without sync (Y, CV, R, G, B); the
lowest voltage at the output pins is clamped to ~300 mV
above ground when the 6dB gain setting is selected.
If symmetric AC-coupled input signals are used
(Chroma, Pb, Pr, Cb, Cr), the bias circuit described
above can be used to center them within the input
common range. The average DC value at the output is
approximately 1.27 V with a 6 dB gain setting. This
value changes, depending upon the selected gain
setting, as shown in Table 5.

Figure 10. DC-Coupled Load Connection
If multiple low-impedance loads are DC coupled,
increased power and thermal issues need to be
addressed. In this case, the use of a multilayer board
with a large ground plane is recommended to help
dissipate heat. If a two-layer board is used under these
conditions, an extended ground plane directly under the
device is recommended. This plane should extend at
least 12.7 mm (0.5 inches) beyond the device. PC board
layout issues are discussed in the Layout
Considerations section.

Each of the outputs can be independently powered
down and placed in a high-impedance state with the
ENABLE bit. This function can be used to mute video
signals, to parallel multiple FMS6501A outputs, or to
save power. When the output amplifier is disabled, the
high-impedance output presents a 3 kΩ load to ground.
The output amplifier typically enters and recovers from
the power-down state in less than 300 ns after being
programmed.
Crosstalk from multiple sources into a given channel
has been measured with the setup shown in Figure 13.
Input IN1 is driven with a 1 VPP pulse source and is
connected to outputs Out1 to Out8. Input In9 is driven
with a secondary, asynchronous, gray-field video signal,
and is connected to Out9. All other inputs are AC
terminated with 75 Ω. Crosstalk effects on the gray field
are measured and calculated with respect to a standard
1 VPP output measured at the load.
When an output channel is not connected to an input,
the input to that channel’s amplifier is forced to ~150mV.
The output amplifier is active unless specifically
2
disabled by the I C interface. Voltage output levels
depend on the programmed gain for the channel.
If not all inputs and outputs are needed, avoid using
adjacent channels, where possible, to reduce crosstalk.
Disable all unused channels to further reduce crosstalk
and power dissipation.
Crosstalk
Crosstalk is an important consideration: input and output
crosstalk represent the two major coupling modes in a
typical application. Input crosstalk is crosstalk in the
input pins and switches when the interfering signal
drives an open switch. It is dominated by inductive
coupling in the package lead frame between adjacent
leads. It decreases rapidly as the interfering signal
moves farther away from the pin adjacent to the input
signal selected. Output crosstalk is coupling from one
driven output to another active output. It decreases with
increasing load impedance, as it is caused mainly by
ground and power coupling between output amplifiers. If
a signal is driving an open switch, its crosstalk is mainly
input crosstalk. If it is driving a load through an active
output, its crosstalk is mainly output crosstalk.
Input and output crosstalk measurements are performed
with the test configuration shown in Figure 12.
Figure 13. Test Configuration for Multi-Channel
Crosstalk
FMS6501A — 12x9 Video Switch Matrix with Input Clamp, Input Bias Circuitry, and Output Drivers
For input crosstalk, the switch is open. All inputs are in
bias mode. Channel 1 input is driven with a 1 VPP signal,
while all other inputs are AC terminated with 75 Ω. All
outputs are enabled and crosstalk is measured from IN1
to any output. For output crosstalk, the switch is closed.
Crosstalk from OUT1 to any output is measured.
Thermal issues are reduced with AC-coupled outputs,
eliminating special PC layout requirements.

General layout and supply bypassing play major roles in
high-frequency
performance
and
thermal
characteristics. Fairchild offers a demonstration board,
FMS6501ADEMO, to use as a guide for layout and to
aid in device testing and characterization. The
FMS6501ADEMO is a four-layer board with a full power
and ground plane. For optimum results, follow the steps
below as a basis for high frequency layout.


Include 10 µF and 0.1 µF bypass capacitors.

Place the 0.1 µF capacitor within 2.7 mm
(0.1 inches) of the power pin.

Connect all external ground pins as tightly as
possible, preferably with a large ground plane
under the package.

Video Switch Matrix Applications
The increased demand for consumer multimedia
systems has created a challenge for system designers
to provide cost-effective solutions to capitalize on the
growth potential in graphics display technologies. These
applications require cost-effective video switching and
filtering solutions to deploy high-quality display
technologies rapidly and effectively to the target
audience. Areas of specific interest include HDTV,
media centers, and automotive “infotainment” (includes
navigation, in-cabin entertainment, and back-up
camera). In all cases, the advantages an integrated
video switch matrix provides are high-quality video
switching specific to the application as well as video
input clamps and on-chip low-impedance output cable
drivers with switchable gain.
Place the 10 µF capacitor within 19.05 mm
(0.75 inches) of the power pin.
Generally the largest application for a video switch is for
the front end of an HDTV, where it takes multiple inputs
and routes them to appropriate signal paths (main
picture and Picture-in-Picture (PiP)). These are normally
routed into ADCs followed by decoders. There are many
different technologies for HDTV; including LCD, plasma,
and CRT, with similar analog switching circuitry.
Place channel connections to reduce mutual trace
inductance.

Minimize all trace lengths to reduce series
inductances. If routing across a board, place device
such that longer traces are at the inputs rather than
the outputs.
If using multiple, low-impedance, DC-coupled outputs;
special layout techniques may be employed to help
dissipate heat.
An example of a HDTV application is shown in Figure
14. This system combines a video switch matrix and two
three-channel switchable anti-aliasing filters. There are
two three-channel signal paths in the system; one for
the main picture, the other for PiP.
If a multilayer board is used, a large ground plane
directly under the device helps reduce package case
temperature.
VIPDEMO™ Control Software
The FMS6501A is configured via an I2C-compatible
digital interface. To facilitate demonstration, Fairchild
Semiconductor had developed the VIPDEMO™ GUIbased control software to write to the register map. This
software is included in the FMS6501ADEMO kit. A
2
parallel port I C adapter and an interface cable to
connect to the board are also included. Besides using
the full interface, the VIPDEMO can also be used to
control single-register read and writes for I2C.
For dual-layer boards, an extended plane can be used.
Worst-case, additional die power due to DC loading can
be estimated at (VCC2/4RL) per output channel. This
assumes a constant DC output voltage of VCC/2. For 5 V
VCC with a dual-DC video load, add 25 / (4x75) =
83 mW, per channel.
