Application Note
Introduction
The ISL59481EVAL1 evaluation board contains the ISL59481
Dual 4:1 RGB MUX amp and associated components needed
to implement an 8:1 RGB+H/V sync video multiplexer. The 8
video input ports, and single output port are accessed using
standard 15 pin VGA female connectors. The I/O connectors
are compatible with most VGA, SVGA and XGA video
sources and video monitors with VGA cable interfaces. A
typical application would use the ISL59481EVAL1 board to
multiplex anywhere from 2 to 8 PC’s or laptops to a single
video monitor or projector.
Evaluation Board Description and Key Features
The multiplexing of the RGB video is performed by the
ISL59481. Multiplexing the H and V sync signals is
accomplished using two ISL84051 8:1 analog switches. The
ISL59481 Video MUX and the analog H and V sync
multiplexers have the same input channel select logic
coding, and are parallel-connected to form a single 3 input
binary coded interface (S0, S1, S2). The evaluation board
contains three different channel select options via jumpers
on the board. Switches on the board enable direct logic
control in binary format. The on-board oscillator and 4-bit
counter can be connected to provide a continuous channel-

by-channel scan of as few as 2 input channels up to all 8. An
added option allows the user to disconnect the auto-scan
oscillator and use the on-board momentary-contact switch to
manually scan through the selected channels.

Getting Started
The evaluation board should have the same appearance as
the silk screen shown in Figure 1. Prior to applying power,
connect the source input VGA cables and the evaluation
board output VGA cable to the respective video
components. The evaluation board, as supplied, is designed
for 75Ω source impedances and requires a 75Ω termination
impedance in the output display device.
Applying Power to the Evaluation Board
The following safeguards will ensure correct power-up.
1. Limit the current on ±5V supplies to 250mA.
2. Turn on the power supplies after the power cables are
attached to the evaluation board.
Power supply protection Schottky diodes are included on the
±5V supplies to prevent damage due to reverse polarity.

Testing the Evaluation Board
Testing the video and sync signal paths is accomplished
using 1 or more RGB+H/V test video sources and a video
monitor as the measurement device. Before powering the
board, connect the jumpers as follows:

1. Connect jumpers J-S0, J-S1 and J-S2 to the MANUAL
position (center to right post).
2. Connect jumper J1 to the single-step position (center to
left post).

Application Note 1235
The following tests should be performed in the order shown.
Power Supply Tests
1. Connect an ammeter in series with the +5V and -5V
supply.
2. Connect power supplies to the respective +5V, -5V and
ground banana jacks.
set to 2.3 to compensate for the interstage and output
impedance matching loss. Two methods of gain adjustment
are provided. Increasing gain to compensate for cable
attenuation can be accomplished using the EL5364 Rf and
Rg gain resistors. Gain reduction is best achieved using the
divider network Rs and Rt. Capacitor pads (Cnp) are
provided to adjust the frequency response of the amplifier.
3. Set supplies to +5V; ±50mV and -5V; ±50mV. Supply
power to the board.

Channel Select Logic and Video Performance Test
1. Calibrate the video test source with the video monitor by
connecting the source(s) to the video monitor and
selecting a display suitable for verifying correct
luminance, display resolution and H/V sync lock. The test
display in the following evaluation board tests should be
identical to the test display.
2. Re-connect the video monitor to the VIDEO_OUT VGA
connector on the evaluation board.
3. Connect the video test source to IN0. Additional video
sources can speed up the verification process. If more
than 1 test source is available connect each in sequential
fashion to IN1, IN2 etc.
4. Set switches S0, S1 and S2 to the GND position and
apply power.
5. After ~3s the test display supplied to IN0 should appear
on the test monitor exactly as it appeared in step 1.

Channel Select Logic
The ISL59481 RGB MUX and the H/V sync MUX share the
same 1 of 8 input channel select logic inputs (S0, S1, S2).
The channel select logic is shown in Table 1. Three methods
of channel select logic control are provided using jumpers.

Auto-Scan Test
1. Connect scope probe to the J1 AUTO pin and observe a

2. Connect jumpers J-S0, J-S1, and J-S2 to the AUTO
position (center to left post).
3. Connect jumper J1 to the AUTO position and observe
that the display scans all the test sources connected to
the input channels (center to right post).
4. Connect jumper J1 to the single-step position and use the
momentary contact switch S4 to manually all the test
sources.
Test completed.
RGB Video Signal Path
Auto Sequencing Using the On-Board
Oscillator
An on-board 0.3Hz R-C oscillator (Figure 3) drives the
master clock of the 4-bit binary counter, which generates the
channel select logic inputs S0, S1 and S2. The default 6s
channel scan rate provides the time needed by the display to
sync-lock and adjust the picture prior to enabling the display.
The 2.2MΩ (R1) resistor value can be reduced to speed up
the channel scan time. Jumper J1 is provided to select either
the 6s auto-step timer, or the momentary contact switch for
manual stepping.
The video inputs are terminated with 75Ω resulting in an
overall RGB video path gain of 1 when using 75Ω video
source impedance and load terminations (Figure 2). The
RGB outputs contain series-connected 75Ω backtermination resistors for cable driving. The ISL59481
operates in unity gain, and the EL5364 triple op amp gain is

A wide range of auto-scan options can be selected by
connecting only 1 or 2 of the 3 jumpers to the internal logic,
with the remainder connected to the switch. For example,
connecting jumper J-S0 to the AUTO position and
connecting jumpers J-S1 and J-S2 to the MANUAL position
with the switches S1 and S2 to the logic 0 state limits the
channel scan to only 2 of the 8 channels (IN0 and IN1).
Moving a second jumper from the MANUAL position to the
AUTO position, increases the number of channels scanned
from 2 to 4. The complete list of channel scan jumper
options are shown in Table 2.
