CLC532
High-Speed 2:1 Analog Multiplexer
General Description
Features
The CLC532 is a high-speed 2:1 multiplexer with active input and
output stages. The CLC532 also employs a closed-loop design which
dramatically improves accuracy. This monolithic device is constructed
using an advanced high-performance bipolar process.
■

■
■
■
The CLC532 has been specifically designed to provide settling times
of 17ns to 0.01%. This, coupled with the adjustable noise-bandwidth,
makes the CLC532 an ideal choice for infrared and CCD imaging
systems. Channel-to-channel isolation is better than 80dB @
10MHz. Low distortion (80dBc) and spurious signal levels make the
CLC532 a very suitable choice for both I/Q processors and receivers.
12-bit settling (0.01%) - 17ns
Low noise - 32µVrms
High isolation - 80dB @ 10MHz
Low distortion - 80dBc @ 5MHz
Adjustable bandwidth - 190MHz (max)

Applications Information
Operation
The CLC532 is a 2:1 analog multiplexer with high-impedance
buffered inputs, and a low-impedance, low-distortion, output
stage. The CLC532 employs a closed-loop design, which
dramatically improves accuracy. The channel SELECT control
(Figure 1) determines which of the two inputs (INA or INB) is
present at the OUTPUT. Beyond the basic multiplexer function,
the CLC532 offers compatibility with either TTL or ECL logic
families, as well as adjustable bandwidth.

CHANNEL A
Compensation
The CLC532 incorporates compensation nodes that allow both
its bandwidth and its settling time/slew rate to be adjusted.
Bandwidth and settling time/slew adjustments are linked,
meaning that lowering the bandwidth also lowers slew rate
and lengthens settling time. Proper adjustment (compensation)
is necessary to optimize system performance. Time Domain
applications should generally be optimized for lowest RMS
noise at the CLC532 output, while maintaining settling time and
slew rates at adequate levels to meet system needs. Frequency
Domain applications should generally be optimized for maximally
flat frequency response.

Digital Interface and Channel SELECT
The CLC532 functions with ECL, TTL and CMOS logic families.
DREF controls logic compatibility. In normal operation, DREF is left
floating, and the channel SELECT responds to ECL level signals,
Figure 2. For TTL or CMOS level SELECT inputs (Figure 3), DREF
should be tied to +5V (the CLC532 incorporates an internal
2300Ω series isolation resistor for the DREF input). For TTL or
CMOS operation, the channel SELECT requires a resistor input
network to prevent saturation of the channel select circuitry.
Without this input network, channel SELECT logic levels above
3V will cause internal junction saturation and slow switching
speeds.

Use of "small" value input termination resistors will also improve
channel-to-channel isolation. However, extremely low values
(<25Ω) tend to stress the driving source's ability to provide a highquality input signal to the CLC532. Higher values tend to
aggravate any layout dependent crosstalk. 75Ω to 50Ω is a
reasonable target, but the lower the better.
Power Supplies and Grounding
Proper power supply bypassing and grounding is essential to
the CLC532’s operation. A 0.1µF to 0.01mF ceramic chip
capacitor should be located as close as possible to the individual
power supply pins. Larger +6.8µF tantalum capacitors should
be used within a few inches of the CLC532. The ground
connections for these larger by-pass capacitors should be very
symmetrically located relative the CLC532 output load ground
connection. Harmonic distortion can be heavily influenced by
non-symmetric decoupling capacitor grounding. The smaller
chip capacitors located directly at the power supply pins are not
particularly susceptible to this effect.
Combining Two Signals in ADC Applications
The CLC532 is applicable in a wide range of circuits and
applications. A classic example of this flexibility is combining two
or more signals for digitization by an analog-to-digital converter
(ADC). A clear understanding of both the multiplexer and the
ADC's operation is needed to optimize this configuration.
Separation of analog and digital ground planes is not
recommended. In most cases, a single low-impedance ground
plane will provide the best performance. In those special cases
requiring separate ground planes, the following table indicates
the signal and supply ground connections.
Pin
1,3
5
To obtain the best performance from the combination, the output
of the CLC532 must be an accurate representation of the
selected input during the ADC conversion cycle. The time at
which the ADC samples the input varies with the type of ADC that
is being used.

Shield /Supply Returns Supplies and Inputs
DREF Ground
DREF Currents Only
Subranging ADCs usually have a Track-and-Hold (T/H) at their
input. For a successful combination of the multiplexer and the
ADC, the multiplexer timing and the T/H timing must be compatible.
When the ADC is given a convert command, the T/H transitions
from Track mode to Hold mode. The delay between the convert
command and this transition is usually specified as Aperture
Delay or as Sampling Time Offset.
Input Shielding
The CLC532 has been designed for use in high-speed widedynamic range systems. Guard-ring traces and the use of the
ground pins separating the analog inputs are recommended to
maintain high isolation (Figure 6). Likely sources of noise and
interference that may couple onto the inputs, are the logic signals
and power supplies to the CLC532. Other types of clock and
signal traces should not be overlooked, however.
Channel A
Connector
To maximize the time that the multiplexer output has to settle, and
that the T/H has to acquire the signal, the multiplexer should
begin its transition from one input to the other immediately after
the T/H transition into HOLD mode. Unfortunately it is during the
initial portion of the HOLD period that a subranging ADC performs
analog processing of the sampled signal. High slew rate
transitions on the input during this time may have a detrimental
effect on the conversion accuracy.
Pin 1
Chip Resistors
To minimize the effects of high input slew rates, two strategies
that can employed. Strategy one applies when the sample rate
of the system is below the rated speed of the ADC. Here the
CLC532 SELECT timing is delayed until after the multiplexer
transition takes place, and after the A/D has completed one
conversion cycle and is waiting for the next convert command.
As an example, if a CLC935 (15MSPS) ADC is being used at
10MSPS, the conversion takes place in the first 67ns after the
CONVERT command. The next 33ns are spent waiting for the
next CONVERT command, and would be an ideal place to switch
the multiplexer from one channel to the next.
Channel B
Connector
Figure 6: Alternate Layout Using Guard Ring
The general rule in maintaining isolation has two facets, minimize
the primary return ground current path impedances back to the
respective signal sources, while maximizing the impedance
associated with common or secondary ground current return
paths. Success or failure to optimize input signal isolation can
be measured directly as the isolation between the input channels
with the CLC532 removed from circuit. The channel-to-channel
isolation of the CLC532 can never be better than the isolation
level present at its inputs.

Ccomp (pF)

Special attention must be paid to input termination resistors.
Minimizing the return current path that is common to both of the input
termination resistors is essential. In the event that a ground return
current from one input termination resistor is able to find a secondary
path back to its signal source (which also happens to be common
with either the primary or secondary return path for the second input
termination resistor), a small voltage can appear across the second
input termination resistor. The small voltage seen across the
second input termination resistor will be highly correlated with the
signal generating the initial return currents. This situation will
severely degrade channel-to-channel isolation at the input of the
CLC532, even if the CLC532 were removed from circuit. Poor
isolation at the input will be transmitted directly to the output.

mode. The CLC532 output signal can be slew limited by using
its compensation capacitors. This approach also has the
advantage of limiting the excess noise passed through the
CLC532 and on to the ADC. Figure 7 shows the recommended
CCOMP values as a function of ADC Sample rate. Since the optimal
values will change from one ADC to the next, this graph should
be used as a starting point for CCOMP selection. Both CCOMP
capacitors should be the same value to maintain output symmetry.

Flash ADCs are similar to subranging ADCs in that the sampling
period is very brief. The primary difference is that the acquisition
time of a flash converter is much shorter than that of a subranging
ADC. With a flash ADC, the transition of the CLC532 output
should be after the sampling instant ("Aperture Delay" after the
CONVERT command). It is only during this period that a flash
converter is susceptible to interference from a rapidly changing
analog input signal.

Gain Selection for an ADC
In many applications, such as RADAR, the dynamic range
requirements may exceed the accuracy requirements. Since
wide dynamic range ADCs are also typically highly accurate
ADCs, this often leads the designer into selecting an ADC which
is a technical overkill and a budget buster. By using the CLC532
as a selectable-gain stage, a less expensive ADC can be used.
As an example, if an application calls for 80dB of dynamic Range
and 0.05% accuracy, rather than using a 14-bit converter, a 12bit converter combined with the circuit in figure 8 will meet the
same objective. The CLC532 is used to select between the
analog input signal and a version of the input signal attenuated
by 12dB.
This circuit affords 14-bit dynamic range, 12-bit
accuracy and 12-bit ease of implementation.

Figure 9: Low Distortion Full Wave Rectifier
Use of the CLC532 as a Mixer.
A double balanced mixer, such as is shown in figure 10, operates
by multiplying the RF input by the LO input. This is done by using
the LO to select one of two paths through a diode bridge
depending upon the LO sign. The result is an output where IF=RF
when LO>0 and IF=-RF if LO<0. This same result can be
obtained with the circuit shown in figure 11. The CLC532 based
circuit uses a digital LO making system design easier in those
cases where the LO is digitally derived. One advantage of the
CLC532 based approach is excellent isolation between all three
ports. Also see the RF design awards article by Thomas Hack
in the January 1993 issue of RF Design.

Full Wave Rectifier Circuit
The use of a diode rectifier provides significant distortion for
signals that are small compared to the forward bias voltage.
Accordingly, when low distortion performance is needed, standard
diode based circuits do not work well. The CLC532 can be
configured to provide a very low distortion full wave rectifier. The
circuit in figure 9 is used to select between an analog input signal
and an inverted version of the input signal. The resulting output
exhibits very little distortion for small scale signals up to several
hundred kilohertz.
