LMH6580/LMH6581
8x4 500 MHz Analog Crosspoint Switch, Gain of 1,
Gain of 2
General Description
Features
The
family of products is joined by the LMH6580 and
the LMH6581, high speed, non-blocking, analog, crosspoint
switches. The LMH6580/LMH6581 are designed for high
speed, DC coupled, analog signals such as high resolution
video (UXGA and higher). The LMH6580/LMH6581 each has
eight inputs and four outputs. The non-blocking architecture
allows any output to be connected to any input, including an
input that is already selected. With fully buffered inputs the
LMH6580/LMH6581 can be impedance matched to nearly
any source impedance. The buffered outputs of the
LMH6580/LMH6581 can drive up to two back terminated
video loads (75Ω load). The outputs and inputs also feature
high impedance inactive states allowing high performance input and output expansion for array sizes such as 8 x 8 or 16
x 4 by combining two devices. The LMH6580/LMH6581 are
controlled with a 4 pin serial interface that can be configured
as a 3 wire interface. Both serial mode and addressed modes
are available.
The LMH6580/LMH6581 come in 48-pin TQFP packages.
They also have diagonally symmetrical pin assignments to
facilitate double sided board layouts and easy pin connections for expansion.

LMH6580/LMH6581
Application Information
INTRODUCTION
The LMH6580/LMH6581 are high speed, fully buffered, nonblocking, analog crosspoint switches. Having fully buffered
inputs allows the LMH6580/LMH6581 to accept signals from
low or high impedance sources without the worry of loading
the signal source. The fully buffered outputs will drive 75Ω or
50Ω back terminated transmission lines with no external components other than the termination resistor. When disabled,
the outputs are in a high impedance state. The LMH6580/
LMH6581 can have any input connected to any (or all) output
(s). Conversely, a given output can have only one associated
input.
INPUT AND OUTPUT EXPANSION
The LMH6580/LMH6581 have high impedance inactive
states for both inputs and outputs allowing maximum flexibility
for crosspoint expansion. In addition the LMH6580/LMH6581
employ diagonal symmetry in pin assignments. The diagonal
symmetry makes it easy to use direct pin to pin vias when the
parts are mounted on opposite sides of a board. As an example two LMH6580/LMH6581 chips can be combined on
one board to form either an 8 x 8 crosspoint or a 16 x 4 crosspoint. To make an 8 x 8 crosspoint all 8 input pins would be
tied together (Input 0 on side 1 to input 7 on side 2 and so on)
while the 4 output pins on each chip would be left separate.
To make the 16 x 4 crosspoint, the 4 outputs would be tied
together while all 16 inputs would remain independent. In the
16 x 4 configuration it is important not to have 2 connected
outputs active at the same time. With the 8 x 8 configuration,
on the other hand, having two connected inputs active is a
valid state. Crosspoint expansion as detailed above has the
advantage that the signal will go through only one crosspoint.
Expansion methods that have cascaded stages will suffer
bandwidth loss far greater than the small loading effect of
parallel expansion.
Output expansion as shown in Figure 1 is very straight forward. Connecting the inputs of two crosspoint switches has a
very minor impact on performance. Input expansion requires
more planning. Input expansion, as show in Figure 2 and
Figure 3 gives the option of two ways to connect the outputs
of the crosspoint switches. In Figure 2 the crosspoint switch
outputs are connected directly together and share one termination resistor. This is the easiest configurarion to implement
and has only one drawback. Because the disabled output of
the unused crosspoint (only one output can be active at a
time) has a small amount of capacitance, the frequency response of the active crosspoint will show peaking. This is
illustrated in Figure 4 and Figure 5. In most cases this small
amount of peaking is not a problem.
As illustrated in Figure 3 each crosspoint output can be given
its own termination resistor. This results in a frequency response nearly identical to the non expansion case. There is
one drawback for the gain of 2 crosspoint, and that is gain
error. With a 75Ω termination resistor the 1250Ω resistance
of the disabled crosspoint output will cause a gain error. In
order to counter act this the termination resistors of both
crosspoints should be adjusted to approximately 80Ω. This
will provide very good matching, but the gain accuracy of the
system will now be dependent on the process variations of
the crosspoint resistors which have a variability of approximately ±20%.

FIGURE 5. Input Expansion Frequency Response
DRIVING CAPACITIVE LOADS
Capacitive output loading applications will benefit from the
use of a series output resistor ROUT. Capacitive loads of
5 pF to 120 pF are the most critical, causing ringing, frequency
response peaking and possible oscillation. Since most capacitive loading is due to undesired parasitic capacitances the
values of the capacitive loading will not usually be known exactly. It is best to start with a conservative value of ROUT and
decrease the value until the bandwidth shows slight peaking.
At this point the value of the isloation resistor will be determined by whether flat frequency response or maximum bandwidth is the desired goal. Smaller values of ROUT will produce
some peaking, but maximum bandwidth. Larger resistor values will decrease bandwidth and suppress peaking.
As starting values, a capacitive load of 5 pF should have
around 75 Ω of isolation resistance. A value of 120 pF would
require around 12Ω. When driving transmission lines, the output termination resistor is normally sufficient.

DIGITAL CONTROL
USING OUTPUT BUFFERING TO ENHANCE BANDWIDTH
AND INCREASE REBIABILITY
The LMH6580/LMH6581 crosspoint switch can offer enhanced bandwidth and reliability with the use of external
buffers on the outputs. The bandwidth is increased by unloading the outputs and driving the high impedance of an
external buffer. See the Frequency Response 1 kΩ Load
curve in the Typical Performance section for an example of
bandwidth achieved with less loading on the outputs. For this
technique to provide maximum benefit a very high speed amplifier such as the LMH6703 should be used. As shown in
Figure 6 the resistor RL is placed between the crosspoint output and the buffer amplifier. This resistor will provide a load
for the crosspoint output buffer and reduce peaking caused
by the buffer input capacitance. A recommended value for
RL is 500Ω to 1000Ω. Higher values of RL will give higher
bandwidth, but also higher peaking. The optimum value of
RL will depend greatly on board layout and the input capacitance of the buffer amplifier.
Besides offering enhanced bandwidth performance using an
external buffer provides greater system reliability. The first
advantage is to reduce thermal loading on the crosspoint
switch. This reduced die temperature will increase the life of
the crosspoint. The second advantage is enhanced ESD reliability. It is very difficult to build high speed devices that can
withstand all possible ESD events. With external buffers the
crosspoint switch is isolated from ESD events on the external
system connectors.

There are two modes for programing the LMH6580/
LMH6581, Serial Mode and Addressed Mode. The LMH6580/
LMH6581 have internal control registers that store the programming states of the crosspoint switch. The logic is two
staged to allow for maximum programming flexibility. The first
stage of the control logic is tied directly to the crosspoint
switching matrix. This logic consists of one register for each
output that stores the on/off state and the address of which
input to connect to. These registers are not directly accessible
to the user. The second level of logic is another bank of registers identical to the first, but set up as shift registers. These
registers are accessed by the user via the serial input bus.
The LMH6580/LMH6581 is programmed via a serial input bus
with the support of four other digital control pins. The Serial
bus consists of a clock pin (CLK), a serial data in pin (DIN),
and a serial data out pin (DOUT). The serial bus is gated by a
chip select pin (CS). The chip select pin is active low. While
the chip select pin is high all data on the serial input pin and
clock pins is ignored. When the chip select pin is brought low
the internal logic is set to begin receiving data by the first
positive transition (0 to 1) of the clock signal. The chip select
pin must be brought low at least 5 ns before the first rising
edge of the clock signal. The first data bit is clocked in on the
next negative transition (1 to 0) of the clock signal. All input
data is read from the bus on the negative edge of the clock
signal. Once the last valid data has been clocked in, either the
CROSSTALK
When designing a large system such as a video router
crosstalk can be a very serious problem. Extensive testing in
our lab has shown that most crosstalk is related to board layout rather than occurring in the crosspoint switch. There are
many ways to reduce board related crosstalk. Using controlled impedance lines is an important step. Using well decoupled power and ground planes will help as well. When
crosstalk does occur within the crosspoint switch itself it is
often due to signals coupling into the power supply pins. Using
appropriate supply bypassing will help to reduce this mode of
coupling. Another suggestion is to place as much grounded
copper as possible between input and output signal traces.
Care must be taken, though, not to influence the signal trace
impedances by placing shielding copper too closely. One other caveat to consider is that as shielding materials come
closer to the signal trace the trace needs to be smaller to keep
the impedance from falling too low. Using thin signal traces
will result in unacceptable losses due to trace resistance. This
effect becomes even more pronounced at higher frequencies
due to the skin effect. The skin effect reduces the effective
thickness of the trace as frequency increases. Resistive losses make crosstalk worse because as the desired signal is
attenuated with higher frequencies crosstalk increases at
higher frequencies.

figure pin. One way around this loss of flexibility would be if
the clock signal is generated by an FPGA or microcontroller
where the clock signal can be stopped after the data is
clocked in. In this case the Chip select function is provided by
the presence or absence of the clock signal.
SERIAL PROGRAMMING MODE
Serial programming mode is the mode selected by bringing
the MODE pin low. In this mode a stream of 16-bits programs
all four outputs of the crosspoint. The data is fed to the chip
as shown in the Serial Mode Data Frame tables below (two
tables are required to show the entire data frame). The table
is arranged such that the first bit clocked into the crosspoint
register is labeled bit number 0. The register labeled Load
Register in the block diagram is a shift register. If the chip
select pin is left low after the valid data is shifted into the chip
and if the clock signal keeps running then additional data will
be shifted into the register, and the desired data will be shifted
out.
Also illustrated is the timing relationships for the digital pins
in the Timing Diagram for Serial Mode shown below. It is important to note that all the pin timing relationships are important, not just the data and clock pins. One example is that the
Chip Select pin (CS) must transition low before the first rising
edge of the clock signal. This allows the internal timing circuits
to synchronize to allow data to be accepted on the next falling
edge. The chip select pin must then transition high after the
final data bit has been clocked in and before another clock
signal positive edge occurs to prevent invalid data from being
clocked into the chip. Another way to accomplish the same
thing is to strobe the clock pin with only the desired number
of pulses starting and ending with clock in the low condition.
The configure (CFG) pin timing is not so critical, but it does
need to be kept low until all data has been shifted into the
crosspoint registers.
THREE WIRE VS. FOUR WIRE CONTROL
There are two ways to connect the serial data pins. The first
way is to control all four pins separately, and the second option is to connect the CFG and the CS pins together for a 3
wire interface. The benefit of the 4-wire interface is that the
chip can be configured independently using the CS pin. This
would be an advantage in a system with multiple crosspoint
chips where all of them could be programmed ahead of time
and then configured simultaneously. The 4-wire solution is
also helpful in a system that has a free running clock on the
CLK pin. In this case, the CS pin needs to be brought high
after the last valid data bit to prevent invalid data from being
clocked into the chip.
The 3-wire option provides the advantage of one less pin to
control at the expense of having less flexibility with the con-

chip select pin must go high or, the clock signal must stop.
Otherwise invalid data will be clocked into the chip. The data
clocked into the chip is not transferred to the crosspoint matrix
until the CFG pin is pulsed high. This is the case regardless
of the state of the MODE pin. The CFG pin is not dependent
on the state of the Chip select pin. If no new data is clocked
into the chip subsequent pulses on the CFG pin will have no
effect on device operation.
The programming format of the incoming serial data is selected by the MODE pin. When the MODE pin is HIGH the
crosspoint can be programmed one output at a time by entering a string of data that contains the address of the output
that is going to be changed (Addressed Mode). When the
mode pin is LOW the crosspoint is in Serial Mode. In this
mode the crosspoint accepts a 16 bit array of data that programs all of the outputs. In both modes the data fed into the
chip does not change the chip operation until the Configure
pin is pulsed high. The configure and mode pins are independent of the chip select pin.

first rising edge of the clock signal. This allows the internal
timing circuits to synchronize to allow data to be accepted on
the next falling edge. The chip select pin must then transition
high after the final data bit has been clocked in and before
another clock signal positive edge occurs to prevent invalid
data from being clocked into the chip. Also, in addressed
mode is it necessary for the clock signal to make a low to high
transition after the chip select pin has been brought high. If
there is not a low to high transition of the clock after the chip
select pin goes high subsequent data wil not be loaded into
the chip properly. The configure (CFG) pin timing is not critical, but it does need to be kept low until all data has been
shifted into the crosspoint registers.
ADDRESSED PROGRAMMING MODE
Addressed programming mode makes it possible to change
only one output register at a time. To utilize this mode the
mode pin must be High. All other pins function the same as
in serial programming mode except that the word clocked in
is 5 bits and is directed only at the output specified. In addressed mode the data format is shown below in the table
titled Addressed Mode Word Format.
Also illustrated is the timing relationships for the digital pins
in the Timing Diagram for Addressed Mode shown below. It
is important to note that all the pin timing relationships are
important, not just the data and clock pins. One example is

lated based on the typical supply current of 50 mA and a 10V
supply voltage. This power dissipation will vary within the
range of 0.4 W to 0.6 W due to process variations. In addition,
each equivalent video load (150Ω) connected to the outputs
should be budgeted 30 mW of power. For a typical application
with one video load for each output this would be a total power
of 0.62 W. With a θJA of 44 °C/W this will result in the silicon
being 27°C over the ambient temperature. A more aggressive
application would be two video loads per output which would
result in 0.74 W of power dissipation. This would result in a
33°C temperature rise. For heavier loading, the TQFP package thermal performance can be significantly enhanced with
an external heat sink and by providing for moving air ventilation. Also, be sure to calculate the increase in ambient temperature from all devices operating in the system case.
Because of the high power output of this device, thermal
management should be considered very early in the design
process. Generous passive venting and vertical board orientation may avoid the need for fan cooling or heat sinks. Also,
the LMH6580/LMH6581 can be operated with a ±3.3V power
supply. This will cut power dissipation substantially while only
reducing bandwidth by about 10% (2 VPP output). The
LMH6580/LMH6581 are fully characterized and factory tested
at the ±3.3V power supply condition for applications where
reduced power is desired.
DAISY CHAIN OPTION IN SERIAL MODE
The LMH6580/LMH6581 supports daisy chaining of the serial
data stream between multiple chips. This feature is available
only in the Serial Programming Mode. To use this feature serial data is clocked into the first chip DIN pin, and the next chip
DIN pin is connected to the DOUT pin of the first chip. Both chips
may share a chip select signal, or the second chip can be
enabled separately. When the chip select pin goes low on
both chips a double length word is clocked into the first chip.
As the first word is clocking into the first chip the second chip
is receiving the data that was originally in the shift register of
the first chip (invalid data). When a full 16 bits have been
clocked into the first chip the next clock cycle begins moving
the first frame of the new configuration data into the second
chip. With a full 32 clock cycles both chips have valid data and
the chip select pin of both chips should be brought high to
prevent the data from overshooting. A configure pulse will activate the new configuration on both chips simultaneously, or
each chip can be configured separately. The mode, chip select, configure and clock pins of both chips can be tied together and driven from the same sources.
SPECIAL CONTROL PINS
The LMH6580/LMH6581 have two special control pins that
function independent of the serial control bus. One of these
pins is the reset (RST) pin. The RST pin is active high meaning that at logic 1 level the chip is configured with all outputs
disabled and in a high impedance state. The RST pin programs all the registers with input address 0 and all the outputs
are turned off. In this configuration the device draws only 11mA. The RST pin can be used as a shutdown function to
reduce power consumption. The other special control pin is
the broadcast (BCST) pin. The BCST pin is also active high
and sets all the outputs to the on state connected to input 0.
This is sometimes referred to as broadcast mode, where input
0 is broadcast to all eight outputs.
PRINTED CIRCUIT LAYOUT
Generally, a good high frequency layout will keep power supply and ground traces away from the input and output pins.
Parasitic capacitances on these nodes to ground will cause
frequency response peaking and possible circuit oscillations
(see Application Note OA-15 for more information). If digital
control lines must cross analog signal lines (particularly inputs) it is best if they cross perpendicularly. National Semiconductor suggests the following evaluation boards as a
guide for high frequency layout and as an aid in device testing
and characterization:
THERMAL MANAGEMENT
The LMH6580/LMH6581 are high performance devices that
produce a significant amount of heat. With ±5V supplies, the
LMH6580/LMH6581 will dissipate approximately 0.5 W of
idling power with all outputs enabled. Idling power is calcu-
