APPLICATIO S
■
■
While the performance of the LT6556 is optimized for dual
supply operation, it can also be operated with a single supply as low as 4.5V. Using dual 5V supplies, each amplifier
draws only 9.5mA. When disabled, the amplifiers draw
less than 330µA and the outputs become high impedance.
For applications requiring a fixed gain of 2, refer to the
LT6555 datasheet.
The LT6556 is available in 24-lead SSOP and ultra-compact
24-lead QFN packages.

■
The LT®6556 is a high speed triple 2:1 video multiplexer
with an internally fixed gain of 1. The individual buffers
are optimized for performance with a 1k load and feature a
2VP-P –3dB bandwidth of 450MHz, making them ideal for
driving very high resolution video signals. Separate power
supply pins for each amplifier boost channel separation
to 72dB, allowing the LT6556 to excel in many high speed
applications.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2: This parameter is guaranteed to meet specified performance
through design and characterization. It is not production tested.
Note 3: As long as output current and junction temperature are kept
below the Absolute Maximum Ratings, no damage to the part will occur.
Depending on the supply voltage, a heat sink may be required.
Note 4: The LT6556C is guaranteed functional over the operating
temperature range of –40°C to 85°C.
Note 5: The LT6556C is guaranteed to meet specified performance from
0°C to 70°C. The LT6556C is designed, characterized and expected to
meet specified performance from –40°C and 85°C but is not tested or
QA sampled at these temperatures. The LT6556I is guaranteed to meet
specified performance from –40°C to 85°C.
Note 6: In order to follow the constraints for 4.5V operation for PSRR
and IPSRR testing at ± 2.25V, the DGND pin is set to V–, the ⎯E⎯N pin is set
to V– + 0.4V, and the SEL pin is set to either V– + 0.4V or V– + 4V. At ±6V
and all other cases, DGND is set to ground and the ⎯E⎯N and SEL pins are
referenced from it.
Note 7: The VREF pin is set to 3V when testing positive swing and –3V
when testing negative swing to ensure that the internal input clamps do
not limit the output swing.
Note 8: Slew rate is 100% production tested using both inputs of
channel 2. Slew rates of channels 1 and 3 are guaranteed through
design and characterization.
Note 9: Full power bandwidth is calculated from the slew rate:
FPBW = SR/(π • VP-P)
Note 10: Differential gain and phase are measured using a Tektronix
TSG120YC/NTSC signal generator and a Tektronix 1780R video
measurement set. The resolution of this equipment is better than 0.05%
and 0.05°. Nine identical amplifier stages were cascaded giving an
effective resolution of better than 0.0056% and 0.0056°.

Power Supplies
The LT6556 is optimized for ±5V supplies but can be operated on as little as ±2.25V or a single 4.5V supply and
as much as ±6V or a single 12V supply. Internally, each
supply is independent to improve channel isolation. Do
not leave any supply pins disconnected or the part may
not function correctly!
Enable/Shutdown
The LT6556 has a shutdown mode controlled by the ⎯E⎯N
pin and referenced to the DGND pin. If the amplifier will be
enabled at all times, the ⎯E⎯N pin can be connected directly
to DGND. If the enable function is desired, either driving
the pin above 2V or allowing the internal 46k pull-up
resistor to pull the ⎯E⎯N pin to the top rail will disable the
amplifier. When disabled, the output will become very
high impedance. Supply current into the amplifier in the
disabled state will be:
IS =
V + – VEN V + – V –
+
46k
80k
It is important that the following constraints on the DGND,
⎯E⎯N and SEL pins are always followed:
V+ – VDGND ≥ 4.5V
-0.5V ≤ V⎯E⎯N – VDGND ≤ 5.5V
VSEL – VDGND ≤ 8V
In dual supply cases where V+ is less than 4.5V, DGND
should be connected to a potential below ground, such as
V–. Since the ⎯E⎯N and SEL pins are referenced to DGND, they
may need to be pulled below ground in those cases. However,
in order to protect the internal enable circuitry, the ⎯E⎯N pin
should not be forced more than 0.5V below DGND.
In single supply applications above 5.5V, an additional
resistor may be needed from the ⎯E⎯N pin to DGND if the
pin is ever allowed to float. For example, on a 12V single
supply, a 33k resistor would protect the pin from floating
too high while still allowing the internal pull-up resistor
to disable the part.
On dual ±2.25V supplies, connecting the DGND pin to V– is
the only way of ensuring that V+ – VDGND ≥ 4.5V.
The enable/disable times of the LT6556 are fast when
driven with a logic input. Turn on (from 50% ⎯E⎯N input to
50% output) typically occurs in less than 50ns. Turn off
is slower, but is typically below 500ns.
Channel Select
The SEL pin uses the same internal threshold as the ⎯E⎯N
pin and is also referenced to DGND. When the pin is logic
low, the channel A inputs are passed to the output. When
the pin is logic high, the channel B inputs are passed to
the output. The pin should not be floated but can be tied
to DGND to force the outputs to always be channel A or
to V+ (when less than 8V) to force the outputs to always
be channel B.

Input Considerations
The LT6556 uses input clamps referenced to the VREF pin
to prevent damage to the input stage on the unselected
channel. Three transistors in series limit the input voltage to
within three diode drops (±) from VREF . VREF is nominally
set to half of the sum of the supplies by the 40k resistors.
A simplified schematic is shown in Figure 1.

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
To improve clamping, the pin’s DC impedance should be
minimized by connecting the VREF pin directly to ground
in the symmetric dual supply case with a common mode
voltage of 0V. If the common mode voltage is not centered
at ground or the input voltage exceeds plus or minus three
diodes from ground, an external resistor to either supply
can be added to shift the VREF voltage to the desired level.
The only way to cover the full input voltage range of V– +
1V to V+ – 1V is to shift VREF up or down.
Layout and Grounding
It is imperative that care is taken in PCB layout in order to
benefit from the very high speed and very low crosstalk of
the LT6556. Separate power and ground planes are highly
recommended and trace lengths should be kept as short
as possible. If input traces must be run over a distance of
several centimeters, they should use a controlled impedance with either series or shunt terminations (nominally
50Ω or 75Ω) to maintain signal fidelity.
The VREF pin can also be directly driven with a DC source.
Figure 2 shows the effect of the clamp on input current
when sweeping input voltage with various VREF pin voltages. Bypassing the VREF pin is not necessary.
Care should be taken to minimize capacitance on the
LT6556’s output traces by increasing spacing between
traces and adjacent metal and by eliminating metal planes
in underlying layers. To drive cable or traces longer than
several centimeters, using the LT6555 with its fixed gain
of+2 in conjunction with series and load termination resistors may provide better results.

A plot of AC performance driving a 1k load with various
trace lengths is shown in Figure 3. All data is from a 4-layer
board with 2oz copper, 18mil of board layer thickness to
the ground plane, a trace width of 12mils and spacing to
adjacent metal of 18mils. The 0.2cm output trace places
the 1k resistor as close to the part as possible, while the
other curves show the load resistor consecutively further
away. The worst case, 4cm, trace has almost 10pF of
parasitic capacitance.

The inputs can be driven beyond the point at which the
output clips so long as input currents are limited to less
than ±10mA. Continuing to drive the input beyond the
output limit can result in increased current drive and
slightly increased swing, but will also increase supply
current and may result in delays in transient response
at larger levels of overdrive.

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
In order to counteract any peaking in the frequency response from driving a capacitive load, a series resistance
can be inserted in the line at the output of the part to flatten the response. Figure 4 shows the frequency response
with the same 4cm trace from Figure 3, now with a 10Ω
series resistor inserted near the output pin of the amplifier. Note that using a 10Ω series resistor with a 1k load
only decreases the output amplitude by 0.1dB or 1% and
has a minimal effect on the bandwidth of the system. See
the graph labeled “Maximum Capacitive Load vs Output
Series Resistor” in the Typical Performance Characteristics
section for more information.

Single Supply Operation
Figure 5 illustrates how to use the LT6556 with a single
supply ranging from 4.5V to 12V. Since the output range is
comparable to the input range, the DC bias point at the input
can be set anywhere between the supplies that will prevent
the AC-coupled signal from running into the output range
limits. As shown, the DC input level is mid-supply.
The only additional power dissipation in the single supply
configuration is through the resistor bias string at the input
and through any load resistance at the output. In many
cases, the output can be used to directly drive other single
supply devices without additional coupling and without
any resistive load.

To maintain the LT6556’s channel isolation, it is beneficial
to shield parallel input and parallel output traces using a
ground plane or power supply traces. Vias between topside and backside metal may be required to maintain a
low inductance ground near the part where numerous
traces converge. See Figures 7 and 8 for photos of an
optimized layout.

While the AGND pins on the LT6556 are not connected to
the amplifier circuitry, tying them to ground or another
“quiet” node significantly increases channel isolation
and is always recommended. The AGND pins do have
ESD protection and therefore should not be connected to
potentials outside the power supply range.
Low ESL/ESR bypass capacitors should be placed as close
to the positive and negative supply pins as possible. One
4700pF ceramic capacitor is recommended for both V+
and V– supply busses. Additional 470pF ceramic capacitors
with minimal trace length on each supply pin will further
improve AC and transient response as well as channel
isolation. For high current drive and large-signal transient
applications, additional 1µF to 10µF tantalums should
be added on each supply. The smallest value capacitors
should be placed closest to the package.

Input Expansion
In applications with more than two inputs per channel,
multiple LT6556s can be connected directly together at the
outputs. Logic circuitry can be used to drive the ⎯E⎯N pins
of each LT6556 to ensure that only one set of channels is
buffered at a time. See Figure 9 for a schematic.
Since the output impedance of a disabled LT6556 is high,
adding additional channels will not resistively load an

enabled output. However, since the disabled LT6556 and its
traces have around 6pF of capacitance, it may be desirable
to resistively isolate the outputs of each channel to maintain
flat frequency response as shown in the graph labeled
“Maximum Capacitive Load vs Output Series Resistor” in
the Typical Performance Characteristics section.
ESD Protection
The LT6556 has reverse-biased ESD protection diodes on all
pins. If any pins are forced a diode drop above the positive
supply or a diode drop below the negative supply, large
currents may flow through these diodes. If the current is
kept below 10mA, no damage to the devices will occur.

traces and isolate the part from any capacitive loading in
those traces, they also contribute to gain error if the output is not terminated with high impedance. For example,
if the output is terminated with a 1k load, the 75Ω back
termination will cause a 7% gain error. Decreasing the
value of the back termination resistors will decrease the
signal attenuation but may compromise the AC response.
However, connecting the LT6556 output pins to the output
traces on the DC892A board without some series resistance
is not recommended; 10Ω to 20Ω is generally sufficient.
Figures 7 and 8 show the top and bottom side board layout
and placement.
The DC892A Demo Board illustrates optimal routing,
bypassing and termination using the LT6556 as an
RGB video multiplexer. The schematic is shown in Figure 6.
All inputs and outputs are routed to have a characteristic
impedance of 75Ω and 75Ω input shunt and output series
terminations are connected as close to the part as possible. The board is fabricated with four layers with internal
ground and power planes.
While the 75Ω back termination resistors at the outputs
of the LT6556 minimize signal reflections in the output
