PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD8108 and AD8109 are high speed 8 × 8 video crosspoint switch matrices. They offer a –3 dB signal bandwidth
greater than 250 MHz and channel switch times of less than
25 ns with 1% settling. With –83 dB of crosstalk and –98 dB
isolation (@ 5 MHz), the AD8108/AD8109 are useful in many
high speed applications. The differential gain and differential

phase of better than 0.02% and 0.02° respectively along with
0.1 dB flatness out to 60 MHz make the AD8108/AD8109 ideal
for video signal switching.
The AD8108 and AD8109 include eight independent output
buffers that can be placed into a high impedance state for paralleling crosspoint outputs so that off channels do not load the
output bus. The AD8108 has a gain of +1, while the AD8109
offers a gain of +2. They operate on voltage supplies of ± 5 V
while consuming only 45 mA of idle current. The channel switching is performed via a serial digital control (which can accommodate “daisy chaining” of several devices) or via a parallel control
allowing updating of an individual output without re-programing
the entire array.
The AD8108/AD8109 is packaged in an 80-lead TQFP package
and is available over the extended industrial temperature range
of –40°C to +85°C.

The maximum power that can be safely dissipated by the
AD8108/AD8109 is limited by the associated rise in junction
temperature. The maximum safe junction temperature for plastic encapsulated devices is determined by the glass transition
temperature of the plastic, approximately +150°C. Temporarily
exceeding this limit may cause a shift in parametric performance
due to a change in the stresses exerted on the die by the package. Exceeding a junction temperature of +175°C for an extended period can result in device failure.
NOTES
1
Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only; functional operation of the
device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating
conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
2
Specification is for device in free air (T A = +25°C):
80-lead plastic TQFP (ST): θ JA = 48°C/W.
While the AD8108/AD8109 is internally short circuit protected,
this may not be sufficient to guarantee that the maximum junction temperature (+150°C) is not exceeded under all conditions.
To ensure proper operation, it is necessary to observe the maximum power derating curves shown in Figure 3.

CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection.
Although the AD8108/AD8109 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper
ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

Operation/Comment
No change in logic.
The data on the serial DATA IN line is loaded
into serial register. The first bit clocked into
the serial register appears at DATA OUT 32
clocks later.
The data on the parallel data lines, D0–D3, are
loaded into the 32-bit serial shift register location addressed by A0–A2.
Data in the 32-bit shift register transfers into the
parallel latches that control the switch array.
Latches are transparent.
Asynchronous operation. All outputs are disabled.
Remainder of logic is unchanged.

AD8108/AD8109
THEORY OF OPERATION:
The AD8108 (G = +1) and AD8109 (G = +2) share a common
core architecture consisting of an array of 64 transconductance
(gm) input stages organized as eight 8:1 multiplexers with a
common, 8-line analog input bus. Each multiplexer is basically
a folded-cascode high impedance voltage feedback amplifier
with eight input stages. The input stages are NPN differential
pairs whose differential current outputs are combined at the
output stage, which contains the high impedance node, compensation and a complementary emitter follower output buffer.
In the AD8108, the output of each multiplexer is fed back directly to the inverting inputs of its eight gm stages. In the
AD8109, the feedback network is a voltage divider consisting of
a two equal resistors.
The output disable feature of these crosspoints allows larger
switch matrices to be built by simply busing together the outputs of multiple 8 × 8 ICs. However, while the disabled output
impedance of the AD8108 is very high (10 MΩ), that of the
AD8109 is limited by the resistive feedback network (which has
a nominal total resistance of 1 kΩ that appears in parallel with
the disabled output. If the outputs of multiple AD8109s are
connected through separate back termination resistors, the
loading due to these finite output impedances will lower the
effective back termination impedance of the overall matrix. This
problem is eliminated if the outputs of multiple AD8109s are
connected directly and share a single back termination resistor
for each output of the overall matrix. This configuration increases the capacitive loading of the disabled AD8109s on the
output of the enabled AD8109.
The AD8108/AD8109 have two options for changing the programming of the crosspoint matrix. In the first, a serial word of
32 bits can be provided that will update the entire matrix each
time. The second option allows for changing a single output’s
programming via a parallel interface. The serial option requires
fewer signals, but requires more time (clock cycles) for changing
the programming, while the parallel programming technique requires more signals, but can change a single output at a time and
requires fewer clock cycles to complete programming.
Serial Programming
The serial programming mode uses the device pins CE, CLK,
DATA IN, UPDATE, and SER/PAR. The first step is to assert
a LOW on SER/PAR in order to enable the serial programming mode. CE for the chip must be LOW to allow data to be
clocked into the device. The CE signal can be used to address
an individual device when devices are connected in parallel.
REV. 0
The data at DATA IN is clocked in at every down edge of CLK.
A total of 32 data bits must be shifted in to complete the programming. For each of the eight outputs, there are three bits
(D0–D2) that determine the source of its input followed by one
bit (D3) that determines the enabled state of the output. If D3
is LOW (output disabled), the three associated bits (D0–D2) do
not matter because no input will be switched to that output.
The most-significant-output-address data is shifted in first, then
following in sequence until the least-significant-output-address
data is shifted in. At this point UPDATE can be taken LOW,
which will cause the programming of the device according to the
data that was just shifted in. The UPDATE registers are asynchronous and when UPDATE is LOW, they are transparent.
This switched-gm architecture results in a low power crosspoint
switch that is able to directly drive a back terminated video load
(150 Ω) with low distortion (differential gain and differential
phase errors are better than 0.02% and 0.02°, respectively).
This design also achieves high input resistance and low input
capacitance without the signal degradation and power dissipation of additional input buffers. However, the small input bias
current at any input will increase almost linearly with the number of outputs programmed to that input.
APPLICATIONS
The UPDATE signal should be HIGH during the time that data
is shifted into the device’s serial port. Although the data will still
shift in when UPDATE is LOW, the transparent, asynchronous
latches will allow the shifting data to reach the matrix. This will
cause the matrix to try to update to every intermediate state as
defined by the shifting data.
If more than one AD8108/AD8109 device is to be serially programmed in a system, the DATA OUT signal from one device
can be connected to the DATA IN of the next device to form a
serial chain. All of the CLK, CE, UPDATE and SER/PAR
pins should be connected in parallel and operated as described above. The serial data is input to the DATA IN pin of
the first device of the chain, and it will ripple on through to the
last. Therefore, the data for the last device in the chain should
come at the beginning of the programming sequence. The length
of the programming sequence will be 32 times the number of
devices in the chain.
PARALLEL PROGRAMMING
When using the parallel programming mode, it is not necessary to reprogram the entire device when making changes to
the matrix. In fact, parallel programming allows the modification of a single output at a time. Since this takes only one CLK/
UPDATE cycle, significant time savings can be realized by
using parallel programming.
One important consideration in using parallel programming is
that the RESET signal DOES NOT RESET ALL REGISTERS
in the AD8108/AD8109. When taken low, the RESET signal
will only set each output to the disabled state. This is helpful
during power-up to ensure that two parallel outputs will not be
active at the same time.
After initial power-up, the internal registers in the device will
generally have random data, even though the RESET signal was
asserted. If parallel programming is used to program one output, that output will be properly programmed but the rest of the
device will have a random program state depending on the internal register content at power-up. Therefore, when using parallel
programming, it is essential that ALL OUTPUTS BE PROGRAMMED TO A DESIRED STATE AFTER POWER-UP.
This will ensure that the programming matrix is always in a
known state. From then on, parallel programming can be used
to modify a single, or more, output at a time.
–15–
AD8108/AD8109
In a similar fashion, if both CE and UPDATE are taken LOW
after initial power-up, the random power-up data in the shift
register will be programmed into the matrix. Therefore, in order
to prevent the crosspoint from being programmed into an unknown state DO NOT APPLY LOW LOGIC LEVELS TO
BOTH CE AND UPDATE AFTER POWER IS INITIALLY
APPLIED. Programming the full shift register one time to a
desired state by either serial or parallel programming after initial
power-up will eliminate the possibility of programming the
matrix to an unknown state.
To change an output’s programming via parallel programming,
SER/PAR and UPDATE should be taken HIGH and CE should
be taken LOW. The CLK signal should be in the HIGH state.
The address of the output that is to be programmed should be
put on A0–A2. The first three data bits (D0–D2) should contain
the information that identifies the input that is programmed to
the output that is addressed. The fourth data bit (D3) will determine the enabled state of the output. If D3 is LOW (output
disabled) the data on D0–D2 does not matter.
After the desired address and data signals have been established,
they can be latched into the shift register by a HIGH to LOW
transition of the CLK signal. The matrix will not be programmed,
however, until the UPDATE signal is taken low. Thus, it is
possible to latch in new data for several or all of the outputs first
via successive negative transitions of CLK while UPDATE is
held high, and then have all the new data take effect when
UPDATE goes LOW. This is the technique that should be
used when programming the device for the first time after
power-up when using parallel programming.
POWER-ON RESET
When powering up the AD8108/AD8109 it is usually desirable
to have the outputs come up in the disabled state. The RESET
pin, when taken LOW will cause all outputs to be in the disabled state. However, the RESET signal DOES NOT RESET
ALL REGISTERS in the AD8108/AD8109. This is important
when operating in the parallel programming mode. Please refer
to that section for information about programming internal
registers after power-up. Serial programming will program the
entire matrix each time, so no special considerations apply.
Gain Selection
The 8 × 8 crosspoints come in two versions depending on the
desired gain of the analog circuit paths. The AD8108 device is
unity gain and can be used for analog logic switching and other
applications where unity gain is desired. The AD8108 can also
be used for the input and interior sections of larger crosspoint
arrays where termination of output signals is not usually used.
The AD8108 outputs have a very high impedance when their
outputs are disabled.
For devices that will be used to drive a terminated cable with its
outputs, the AD8109 can be used. This device has a built-in
gain of two that eliminates the need for a gain-of-two buffer to
drive a video line. Because of the presence of the feedback network in these devices, the disabled output impedance is about
1 kΩ.
If external amplifiers will be used to provide a G = +2, our
AD8079 is a fixed gain of +2 buffer.
Creating Larger Crosspoint Arrays
The AD8108/AD8109 are high density building blocks for creating crosspoint arrays of dimensions larger than 8 × 8. Various
features such as output disable, chip enable, and gain-of-one
and -two options are useful for creating larger arrays. For very
large arrays, they can be used along with the AD8116, a 16 × 16
video crosspoint device. In addition, systems that require more
inputs than outputs can use the AD8110 and/or the AD8111,
which are (gain-of-one and gain-of-two) 16 × 8 crosspoint
switches.
The first consideration in constructing a larger crosspoint is to
determine the minimum number of devices required. The 8 × 8
architecture of the AD8108/AD8109 contains 64 “points,”
which is a factor of 16 greater than a 4 × 1 crosspoint. The PC
board area and power consumption savings are readily apparent
when compared to using these smaller devices.
For a nonblocking crosspoint, the number of points required is
the product of the number of inputs multiplied by the number
of outputs. Nonblocking requires that the programming of a
given input to one or more outputs does not restrict the availability of that input to be a source for any other outputs.
Since the data in the shift register is random after power-up,
they should not be used to program the matrix or else the matrix
can enter unknown states. To prevent this, DO NOT APPLY
LOGIC LOW SIGNALS TO BOTH CE AND UPDATE
INITIALLY AFTER POWER-UP. The shift register should
first be loaded with the desired data, and then UPDATE can be
taken LOW to program the device.
The RESET pin has a 20 kΩ pull-up resistor to DVDD that can
be used to create a simple power-up reset circuit. A capacitor
from RESET to ground will hold RESET LOW for some time
while the rest of the device stabilizes. The LOW condition will
cause all the outputs to be disabled. The capacitor will then
charge through the pull-up resistor to the HIGH state, thus
allowing full programming capability of the device.
Some nonblocking crosspoint architectures will require more
than this minimum as calculated above. Also, there are blocking
architectures that can be constructed with fewer devices than
this minimum. These systems have connectivity available on a
statistical basis that is determined when designing the overall
system.
The basic concept in constructing larger crosspoint arrays is to
connect inputs in parallel in a horizontal direction and to “wireOR” the outputs together in the vertical direction. The meaning
of horizontal and vertical can best be understood by looking at a
diagram.
An 8 input by 16 output crosspoint array can be constructed as
shown in Figure 42. This configuration parallels two inputs per
channel and does not require paralleling of any outputs. Inputs
are easier to parallel than outputs, because there are lower
parasitics involved. For a 16 × 8 crosspoint, the AD8110 (gain
of one) or AD8111 (gain of two) device can be used. These
devices are already configured into a 16 × 8 crosspoint in a
single device.

At some point, the number of outputs that are wire-ORed becomes too great to maintain system performance. This will vary
according to which system specifications are most important.
For example, a 64 × 8 crosspoint can be created with eight
AD8108/AD8109s. This design will have 64 separate inputs and
have the corresponding outputs of each device wire-ORed together in groups of eight.

Figure 43 illustrates a 16 × 16 crosspoint array, while a 24 × 24
crosspoint is illustrated in Figure 44. The 16 × 16 crosspoint
requires that each input driver drive two inputs in parallel and
each output be wire-ORed with one other output. The 24 × 24
crosspoint requires driving three inputs in parallel and having
the outputs wire-ORed in groups of three. It is required of the
system programming that only one output of a wired-OR node
be active at a time.
Using additional crosspoint devices in the design can lower the
number of outputs that have to be wire-ORed together. Figure
45 shows a block diagram of a system using eight AD8108s and
two AD8109s to create a nonblocking, gain-of-two, 64 × 8 crosspoint that restricts the wire-ORing at the output to only four
outputs. The rank 1 wire-ORed devices are the AD8108,
which has a higher disabled output impedance than the AD8109.

Additionally, by using the lower four outputs from each of the
two Rank 2 AD8109s, a blocking 64 × 16 crosspoint array can
be realized. There are, however, some drawbacks to this technique. The offset voltages of the various cascaded devices will
accumulate and the bandwidth limitations of the devices will
compound. In addition, the extra devices will consume more
current and take up more board space. Once again, the overall
system design specifications will determine how to make the
various tradeoffs.

The excellent video specifications of the AD8108/AD8109 make
them ideal candidates for creating composite video crosspoint
switches. These can be made quite dense by taking advantage
of the AD8108/AD8109’s high level of integration and the fact
that composite video requires only one crosspoint channel per
system video channel. There are, however, other video formats
that can be routed with the AD8108/AD8109 requiring more
than one crosspoint channel per video channel.

AD8108/AD8109
Some systems use twisted-pair wiring to carry video signals.
These systems utilize differential signals and can lower costs
because they use lower cost cables, connectors and termination
methods. They also have the ability to lower crosstalk and reject
common-mode signals, which can be important for equipment
that operates in noisy environments or where common-mode
voltages are present between transmitting and receiving equipment.
When there are many signals in close proximity in a system, as
will undoubtedly be the case in a system that uses the AD8108/
AD8109, the crosstalk issues can be quite complex. A good
understanding of the nature of crosstalk and some definition of
terms is required in order to specify a system that uses one or
more AD8108/AD8109s.
In such systems, the video signals are differential; there is a
positive and negative (or inverted) version of the signals. These
complementary signals are transmitted onto each of the two
wires of the twisted pair, yielding a first order zero commonmode signal. At the receive end, the signals are differentially
received and converted back into a single-ended signal.
TYPES OF CROSSTALK
Crosstalk can be propagated by means of any of three methods.
These fall into the categories of electric field, magnetic field and
sharing of common impedances. This section will explain these
effects.
Every conductor can be both a radiator of electric fields and a
receiver of electric fields. The electric field crosstalk mechanism
occurs when the electric field created by the transmitter propagates across a stray capacitance (e.g., free space) and couples
with the receiver and induces a voltage. This voltage is an unwanted crosstalk signal in any channel that receives it.
When switching these differential signals, two channels are
required in the switching element to handle the two differential
signals that make up the video channel. Thus, one differential
video channel is assigned to a pair of crosspoint channels, both
input and output. For a single AD8108/AD8109, four differential video channels can be assigned to the eight inputs and eight
outputs. This will effectively form a 4 × 4 differential crosspoint
switch.
Currents flowing in conductors create magnetic fields that circulate around the currents. These magnetic fields will then generate voltages in any other conductors whose paths they link. The
undesired induced voltages in these other channels are crosstalk
signals. The channels that crosstalk can be said to have a mutual
inductance that couples signals from one channel to another.
Programming such a device will require that inputs and outputs
be programmed in pairs. This information can be deduced by
inspection of the programming format of the AD8108/AD8109
and the requirements of the system.
The power supplies, grounds and other signal return paths of a
multichannel system are generally shared by the various channels. When a current from one channel flows in one of these
paths, a voltage that is developed across the impedance becomes
an input crosstalk signal for other channels that share the common impedance.
There are other analog video formats requiring more than one
analog circuit per video channel. One two-circuit format that is
commonly being used in systems such as satellite TV, digital
cable boxes and higher quality VCRs, is called S-video or Y/C
video. This format carries the brightness (luminance or Y) portion of the video signal on one channel and the color (chrominance, chroma or C) on a second channel.
Since S-video also uses two separate circuits for one video channel, creating a crosspoint system requires assigning one video
channel to two crosspoint channels as in the case of a differential video system. Aside from the nature of the video format,
other aspects of these two systems will be the same.
There are yet other video formats using three channels to carry
the video information. Video cameras produce RGB (red, green,
blue) directly from the image sensors. RGB is also the usual
format used by computers internally for graphics. RGB can also
be converted to Y, R–Y, B–Y format, sometimes called YUV
format. These three-circuit, video standards are referred to as
component analog video.
The component video standards require three crosspoint channels per video channel to handle the switching function. In a
fashion similar to the two-circuit video formats, the inputs and
outputs are assigned in groups of three and the appropriate logic
programming is performed to route the video signals.
All these sources of crosstalk are vector quantities, so the
magnitudes cannot simply be added together to obtain the
total crosstalk. In fact, there are conditions where driving additional circuits in parallel in a given configuration can actually
reduce the crosstalk.
Areas of Crosstalk
For a practical AD8108/AD8109 circuit, it is required that it be
mounted to some sort of circuit board in order to connect it to
power supplies and measurement equipment. Great care has
been taken to create a characterization board (also available as
an evaluation board) that adds minimum crosstalk to the intrinsic device. This, however, raises the issue that a system’s crosstalk
is a combination of the intrinsic crosstalk of the devices in addition to the circuit board to which they are mounted. It is important to try to separate these two areas of crosstalk when attempting
to minimize its effect.
In addition, crosstalk can occur among the inputs to a crosspoint and among the outputs. It can also occur from input to
output. Techniques will be discussed for diagnosing which part
of a system is contributing to crosstalk.
CROSSTALK
Measuring Crosstalk
Many systems, such as broadcast video, that handle numerous
analog signal channels have strict requirements for keeping the
various signals from influencing any of the others in the system.
Crosstalk is the term used to describe the coupling of the signals
of other nearby channels to a given channel.
Crosstalk is measured by applying a signal to one or more channels and measuring the relative strength of that signal on a desired selected channel. The measurement is usually expressed as
dB down from the magnitude of the test signal. The crosstalk is
expressed by:
|XT| = 20 log 10 (Asel(s)/Atest(s))
–18–
REV. 0
AD8108/AD8109
where s = jω is the Laplace transform variable, Asel(s) is the
amplitude of the crosstalk-induced signal in the selected channel
and Atest(s) is the amplitude of the test signal. It can be seen
that crosstalk is a function of frequency, but not a function of
the magnitude of the test signal (to first order). In addition, the
crosstalk signal will have a phase relative to the test signal associated with it.
A network analyzer is most commonly used to measure crosstalk
over a frequency range of interest. It can provide both magnitude and phase information about the crosstalk signal.
As a crosspoint system or device grows larger, the number of
theoretical crosstalk combinations and permutations can become extremely large. For example, in the case of the 8 × 8
matrix of the AD8108/AD8109, we can examine the number of
crosstalk terms that can be considered for a single channel,
say IN00 input. IN00 is programmed to connect to one of the
AD8108/AD8109 outputs where the measurement can be made.
We can first measure the crosstalk terms associated with driving
a test signal into each of the other seven inputs one at a time.
We can then measure the crosstalk terms associated with driving
a parallel test signal into all seven other inputs taken two at a
time in all possible combinations; and then three at a time, etc.,
until, finally, there is only one way to drive a test signal into all
seven other inputs.
Each of these cases is legitimately different from the others and
might yield a unique value depending on the resolution of the
measurement system, but it is hardly practical to measure all
these terms and then to specify them. In addition, this describes
the crosstalk matrix for just one input channel. A similar
crosstalk matrix can be proposed for every other input. In addition, if the possible combinations and permutations for connecting inputs to the other (not used for measurement) outputs are
taken into consideration, the numbers rather quickly grow to
astronomical proportions. If a larger crosspoint array of multiple
AD8108/AD8109s is constructed, the numbers grow larger still.
Obviously, some subset of all these cases must be selected to be
used as a guide for a practical measure of crosstalk. One common method is to measure “all hostile” crosstalk. This term
means that the crosstalk to the selected channel is measured,
while all other system channels are driven in parallel. In general,
this will yield the worst crosstalk number, but this is not always
the case due to the vector nature of the crosstalk signal.
Other useful crosstalk measurements are those created by one
nearest neighbor or by the two nearest neighbors on either side.
These crosstalk measurements will generally be higher than
those of more distant channels, so they can serve as a worst case
measure for any other one-channel or two-channel crosstalk
measurements.
Input and Output Crosstalk
The flexible programming capability of the AD8108/AD8109
can be used to diagnose whether crosstalk is occurring more on
the input side or the output side. Some examples are illustrative. A given input channel (IN03 in the middle for this example) can be programmed to drive OUT03. The input to IN03
is just terminated to ground (via 50 Ω or 75 Ω) and no signal is
applied.
REV. 0
All the other inputs are driven in parallel with the same test
signal (practically provided by a distribution amplifier), with all
other outputs except OUT03 disabled. Since grounded IN03
is programmed to drive OUT03, there should be no signal
present. Any signal that is present can be attributed to the other
seven hostile input signals, because no other outputs are driven
(they are all disabled). Thus, this method measures the allhostile input contribution to crosstalk into IN03. Of course, the
method can be used for other input channels and combinations
of hostile inputs.
For output crosstalk measurement, a single input channel is
driven (IN00 for example) and all outputs other than a given
output (IN03 in the middle) are programmed to connect to
IN00. OUT03 is programmed to connect to IN07 (far away
from IN00), which is terminated to ground. Thus OUT03
should not have a signal present since it is listening to a quiet
input. Any signal measured at the OUT03 can be attributed to
the output crosstalk of the other seven hostile outputs. Again,
this method can be modified to measure other channels and
other crosspoint matrix combinations.
Effect of Impedances on Crosstalk
The input side crosstalk can be influenced by the output impedance of the sources that drive the inputs. The lower the impedance of the drive source, the lower the magnitude of the
crosstalk. The dominant crosstalk mechanism on the input side
is capacitive coupling. The high impedance inputs do not have
significant current flow to create magnetically induced crosstalk.
However, significant current can flow through the input termination resistors and the loops that drive them. Thus, the PC
board on the input side can contribute to magnetically coupled
crosstalk.
From a circuit standpoint, the input crosstalk mechanism looks
like a capacitor coupling to a resistive load. For low frequencies
the magnitude of the crosstalk will be given by:
|XT| = 20 log10 [(RS CM) × s]
where RS is the source resistance, CM is the mutual capacitance
between the test signal circuit and the selected circuit, and s is
the Laplace transform variable.
From the equation it can be observed that this crosstalk mechanism has a high pass nature; it can also be minimized by reducing the coupling capacitance of the input circuits and lowering
the output impedance of the drivers. If the input is driven from
a 75 Ω terminated cable, the input crosstalk can be reduced by
buffering this signal with a low output impedance buffer.
On the output side, the crosstalk can be reduced by driving a
lighter load. Although the AD8108/AD8109 is specified with
excellent differential gain and phase when driving a standard
150 Ω video load, the crosstalk will be higher than the minimum
obtainable due to the high output currents. These currents will
induce crosstalk via the mutual inductance of the output pins
and bond wires of the AD8108/AD8109.
–19–
AD8108/AD8109
Each output also has an on-chip compensation capacitor that
is individually tied the nearby analog ground pins AGND00
through AGND07. This technique reduces crosstalk by preventing the currents that flow in these paths from sharing a common
impedance on the IC and in the package pins. These AGNDxx
signals should all be directly connected to the ground plane.
From a circuit standpoint, this output crosstalk mechanism
looks like a transformer, with a mutual inductance between the
windings, that drives a load resistor. For low frequencies, the
magnitude of the crosstalk is given by:
|XT| = 20 log10 (Mxy × s/R L)
where Mxy is the mutual inductance of output x to output y and
RL is the load resistance on the measured output. This crosstalk
mechanism can be minimized by keeping the mutual inductance
low and increasing RL . The mutual inductance can be kept low
by increasing the spacing of the conductors and minimizing
their parallel length.
PCB Layout
Extreme care must be exercised to minimize additional crosstalk
generated by the system circuit board(s). The areas that must be
carefully detailed are grounding, shielding, signal routing and
supply bypassing.
The packaging of the AD8108/AD8109 is designed to help keep
the crosstalk to a minimum. Each input is separated from each
other input by an analog ground pin. All of these AGNDs
should be directly connected to the ground plane of the circuit
board. These ground pins provide shielding, low impedance
return paths and physical separation for the inputs. All of these
help to reduce crosstalk.
Each output is separated from its two neighboring outputs by an
analog ground pin in addition to an analog supply pin of one
polarity or the other. Each of these analog supply pins provides
power to the output stages of only the two nearest outputs.
These supply pins and analog grounds provide shielding, physical separation and a low impedance supply for the outputs.
Individual bypassing of each of these supply pins, with a 0.01 µF
chip capacitor directly to the ground plane, minimizes high
frequency output crosstalk via the mechanism of sharing common impedances.
The input and output signals will have minimum crosstalk if
they are located between ground planes on layers above and
below, and separated by ground in between. Vias should be
located as close to the IC as possible to carry the inputs and
outputs to the inner layer. The only place the input and output
signals surface is at the input termination resistors and the output series back termination resistors. These signals should also
be separated, to the extent possible, as soon as they emerge from
the IC package.
Evaluation Board
A four-layer evaluation board for the AD8108/AD8109 is available. The exact same board and external components are used
for each device. The only difference is the device itself, which
offers a selection of a gain of unity or gain of two through the
analog channels. This board has been carefully laid out and
tested to demonstrate the specified high speed performance of
the device. Figure 46 shows the schematic of the evaluation
board. Figure 47 shows the component side silk-screen. The
layouts of the board’s four layers are given in Figures 48, 49, 50
and 51.
The evaluation board package includes the following:
• Fully populated board with BNC-type connectors.
• Windows™ based software for controlling the board from a
PC via the printer port.
• Custom cable to connect evaluation board to PC.
• Disk containing Gerber files of board layout.

Optimized for video applications, all signal inputs and outputs
are terminated with 75 Ω resistors. Stripline techniques are used
to achieve a characteristic impedance on the signal input and
output lines also of 75 Ω. Figure 52 shows a cross-section of one
of the input or output tracks along with the arrangement of the
PCB layers. It should be noted that unused regions of the four
layers are filled up with ground planes. As a result, the input
and output traces, in addition to having controlled impedances,
are well shielded.

The three power supply pins AVCC, DVCC and AVEE should
be connected to good quality, low noise, ± 5 V supplies. Where
the same ± 5 V power supplies are used for analog and digital,
separate cables should be run for the power supply to the evaluation board’s analog and digital power supply pins.
As a general rule, each power supply pin (or group of adjacent
power supply pins) should be locally decoupled with a 0.01 µF
capacitor. If there is a space constraint, it is more important to
decouple analog power supply pins before digital power supply
pins. A 0.1 µF capacitor, located reasonably close to the pins,
can be used to decouple a number of power supply pins. Finally
a 10 µF capacitor should be used to decouple power supplies as
they come on to the board.

The board has 16 BNC type connectors: eight inputs and eight

the device. As can be seen from Figure 49, this results in all
eight input signal traces and all eight signal output traces having
the same length. This is useful in tests such as All-Hostile
Crosstalk where the phase relationship and delay between signals needs to be maintained from input to output.
The evaluation board include Windows-based control software
and a custom cable that connects the board’s digital interface to

Figure 53. The software requires Windows 3.1 or later to operate. To install the software, insert the disk labeled “Disk #1 of

Overshoot on PC Printer Ports’ Data Lines

When you launch the crosspoint control software, you will be
asked to select the printer port you are using. Most modern PCs
have only one printer port, usually called LPT1. However, some
laptop computers use the PRN port.
Figure 54 shows the main screen of the control software in its
initial reset state (all outputs off). Using the mouse, any input
can be connected with one or more outputs by simply clicking
on the appropriate radio buttons in the 8 × 8 on-screen array.
Each time a button is clicked on, the software automatically
sends and latches the required 32-bit data stream to the evaluation board. An output can be turned off by clicking the appropriate button in the Off column. To turn off all outputs, click on
RESET.
The data lines on some printer ports have excessive overshoot.
Overshoot on the pin that is used as the serial clock (Pin 6 on
the D-Sub-25 connector) can cause communication problems.
This overshoot can be eliminated by connecting a capacitor
from the CLK line on the evaluation board to ground. A pad
has been provided on the solder-side of the evaluation board to
allow this capacitor to be soldered into place. Depending upon
the overshoot from the printer port, this capacitor may need to
be as large as 0.01 µF.
