GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The AD8178 is a high speed, triple 16 × 5 video crosspoint switch  
matrix. It supports 1600 × 1200 RGB displays @ 85 Hz refresh rate,  
by offering a 450 MHz bandwidth and a slew rate of 1650 V/μs.  
With −82 dB of crosstalk and −90 dB isolation (@ 5 MHz), the  
AD8178 is useful in many high speed video applications.  
The outputs can be used single-ended in conjunction with  
decoded H and V outputs to drive a monitor directly.  
The independent output buffers of the AD8178 can be placed  
into a high impedance state to create larger arrays by paralleling  
crosspoint outputs. Inputs can be paralleled as well. The AD8178  
offers both serial and a parallel programming modes.  
The AD8178 supports two modes of operation: differential-in  
to differential-out mode with sync-on CM signaling passed  
through the switch and differential-in to differential-out mode  
with CM signaling removed through the switch. The output CM  
and black level can be conveniently set via external pins.  
The AD8178 is packaged in a fully-populated 26 × 26 ball  
PBGA package and is available over the extended industrial  
temperature range of −40°C to +85°C.

AD8178  
ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS  
Table 12.  
POWER DISSIPATION  
The AD8178 is operated with 2.5 V or +5 V supplies and can  
drive loads down to 100 ꢀ, resulting in a large range of possible  
power dissipations. For this reason, extra care must be taken  
when derating the operating conditions based on ambient  
temperature.

Packaged in a 676-lead BGA, the AD8178 junction-to-ambient  
thermal impedance (θJA) is 15°C/W. For long-term reliability,  
the maximum allowed junction temperature of the die should  
not exceed 150°C. Temporarily exceeding this limit may cause  
a shift in parametric performance due to a change in stresses  
exerted on the die by the package. Exceeding a junction  
temperature of 175°C for an extended period can result in  
device failure. The curve in Figure 4 shows the range of allowed  
internal die power dissipations that meet these conditions over  
the −40°C to +85°C ambient temperature range. When using  
Table 13, do not include external load power in the maximum  
power calculation, but do include load current dropped on the  
die output transistors.

AD8178  
THEORY OF OPERATION  
The AD8178 is a nonblocking crosspoint with 16 RGB input  
channels and 5 RGB output channels. Architecturally, the  
AD8178 is a differential-in, differential-out crosspoint suited  
for middle-of-Cat-5-run applications. Furthermore, its  
differential-in, differential-out gain of +4 and its decoded H and  
V sync outputs make it the ideal solution for driving a monitor  
directly. The ability to set the output common-mode (CM) and  
black level through external pins offers additional flexibility.  
The outputs of the AD8178 can be disabled to minimize on-chip  
power dissipation. When disabled, there is only a common-  
mode feedback network of 2.7 kꢀ between the differential outputs.  
This high impedance allows multiple ICs to be bussed together  
without additional buffering. Care must be taken to reduce  
output capacitance, which can result in overshoot and frequency-  
domain peaking. A series of internal amplifiers drive internal  
nodes such that wideband high impedance is presented at the  
disabled output, even while the output bus experiences fast signal  
swings. When the outputs are disabled and driven externally, the  
voltage applied to them should not exceed the valid output swing  
range for the AD8178 to keep these internal amplifiers in their  
linear range of operation. Applying excessive differential voltages  
to the disabled outputs can cause damage to the AD8178 and  
should be avoided (see the Absolute Maximum Ratings section  
for guidelines).  
Processing of CM voltage levels is achieved by placing the AD8178  
in either of its two operation modes. In the first operation mode  
(CMENC low), the input CM of each RGB differential pair  
(possibly present in the form of either sync-on CM signaling or  
noise) is removed through the switch, and the output CM is set  
to a global reference voltage via the VOCM_CMENCOFF analog  
input. In this mode, the AD8178 behaves as a traditional  
differential-in, differential-out switch. If sync-on CM signaling  
is present at the differential RGB inputs, then the H and V  
outputs represent decoded syncs. In the second operation mode  
(CMENC high), input sync-on CM signaling is propagated  
through the switch with unity gain. In this mode, the overall  
output CM is set to a global reference voltage via the  
The connectivity of the AD8178 is controlled by a flexible TTL-  
compatible logic interface. Either parallel or serial loading into  
a first rank of latches preprograms each output. A global update  
signal moves the programming data into the second rank of latches,  
simultaneously updating all outputs. In serial mode, a serial-out  
pin allows devices to be daisy-chained together for a single-pin  
programming of multiple ICs. A power-on reset pin is available  
to avoid bus conflicts by disabling all outputs. This power-on  
reset clears the second rank of latches but does not clear the first  
rank of latches. In serial mode, preprogramming individual inputs  
is not possible and the entire shift register needs to be flushed. A  
global chip-select pin gates the input clock and the global update  
signal to the second rank of buffers.  
VOCM_CMENCON analog input. Note that in both operation  
modes, the overall input CM is blocked through the switch.  
Input Pin VBLK defines the black level of the positive output  
phase. The combination of VBLK and VOCM_CMENCOFF  
allows the user to position the positive and negative output  
phases anywhere in the allowable output voltage range, thus  
maximizing output headroom usage.  
The switch is organized into five 16:1 RBG multiplexers, with  
each being responsible for connecting an RGB input channel to  
its respective RGB output channel. Decoding logic selects a single  
input (or none) in each multiplexer and connects it to its respective  
output. Feedback around each multiplexer realizes a closed-loop  
differential-in, differential-out gain of +2 in the core.  
The AD8178 can operate on a single 5 V supply, powering both  
the signal path (with the VPOS/VNEG supply pins) and the control  
logic interface (with the VDD/DGND supply pins). Split supply  
operation is possible with 2.5 V supplies that easily interface to  
ground-referenced video signals. In this case, a flexible logic  
interface allows the control logic supplies (VDD/DGND) to be  
run off 5 V/0 V to 3.3 V/0 V while the analog core remains on  
split supplies. Additional flexibility in the analog output common-  
mode level (VOCM_CMENCOFF) and output black level (VBLK)  
facilitates operation with unequally split supplies. If +3 V/−2 V  
supplies to +2 V/−3 V supplies are desired, the output CM can  
still be set to 0 V for ground-referenced video signals.  
Each differential RGB input channel is buffered by a differential  
receiver that is capable of accepting input CM voltages extending  
all the way to either supply rail. Excess closed-loop receiver  
bandwidth reduces the effect of the receiver on the overall device  
bandwidth. Feedback around each differential receiver realizes  
a gain of +2 yielding an overall differential-in, differential-out  
crosspoint gain of +4. A separate loop realizes a closed-loop  
common-mode gain of +1.  
The output stage is designed for fast slew rate and settling time,  
while driving a series-terminated Cat-5 cable. Unlike competing  
multiplexer designs, the small signal bandwidth closely approaches  
the large signal bandwidth.

Depending on the state of the CMENC logic input, the AD8178  
can be set in either of two differential-in, differential-out operat-  
ing modes. In addition, monitors can be driven directly by tapping  
the outputs single-ended and making use of the decoded H and  
V sync outputs.

the overall CM at the output is defined by the reference value  
VOCM_CMENCOFF. In this mode of operation, CM noise is  
removed, while the intended differential RGB signals are buffered

Input VBLK and Input VOCM_CMENCOFF allow the user  
complete flexibility in defining the output CM level and the  
amount of overlap between the positive and negative phases,  
thus maximizing output headroom usage. Whenever VBLK  
differs from VOCM_CMENCOFF by more than 100 mV,  
a differential voltage, Δdiff, is added at the outputs according  
to the expression Δdiff = 2 × (VBLK − VOCM_CMENCOFF.)

VOCM_CMENCOFF is less than 100 mV, no differential  
voltage is added at the outputs.

In this application, the AD8178 is also placed somewhere in the  
middle of a Cat-5 run, although the common-mode handling is

the overall output CM is stripped and set equal to the voltage  
applied at the VOCM_CMENCON pin. The AD8178 is placed in  
this operation mode when used with a sync-on CM scheme.

the crosspoint matrix. In the first option, a serial word of 45 bits  
can be provided that updates the entire matrix each time. The  
second option allows for changing the programming of a single  
output using a parallel interface. The serial option requires  
fewer signals, but more time (clock cycles), for changing the  
programming; the parallel programming technique requires more  
signals, but it allows for changing a single output at a time,  
therefore requiring fewer clock cycles.

power-up. This ensures that the programming matrix is always

AD8178  
The AD8178 is adjusted such that its gain is correct when  
driven by a back-terminated Cat-5 cable (25 ꢀ effective  
impedance to ground at each input pin, or 100 ꢀ differential  
source impedance across pairs of input pins). If a different  
source impedance is presented, the differential gain of the  
AD8178 input receiver can be calculated as  
resistance (RCM, also shown in Figure 49) is present across the  
inputs in both single-ended and differential operation.  
In single-ended operation, an input is driven, and the undriven  
input is often tied to midsupply or ground. Because signal-  
frequency current flows at the undriven input, such input  
should be treated as a signal line in the board design.  
5.05 kꢀ

For example, to achieve best dynamic performance, the undriven  
input should be terminated with an impedance matching that seen  
by the part at the driven input.  
GDM  
=
where RS is the effective impedance to ground at each input pin.  
Differential Output  
When operating with a differential input, care must be taken to  
keep the common mode, or average, of the input voltages within  
the linear operating range of the AD8178 receiver. For the AD8178  
receiver, this common-mode range can extend rail-to-rail, provided  
the differential signal swing is small enough to avoid forward  
biasing the ESD diodes (it is safest to keep the common mode plus  
differential signal excursions within the supply voltages of the part).  
Benefits of Differential Operation  
The AD8178 has a fully differential switch core with differential  
outputs. The two output voltages move in opposite directions,  
with a differential feedback loop maintaining a fixed output  
stage differential gain of +2 through the core. This differential  
output stage provides improved crosstalk cancellation due to  
parasitic coupling from one output to another being equal and  
out of phase. Additionally, if the output of the device is utilized  
in a differential design, then noise, crosstalk, and offset voltages  
generated on-chip that are coupled equally into both outputs  
are cancelled by the common-mode rejection ratio of the next  
device in the signal chain. By utilizing the AD8178 outputs in  
a differential application, the best possible noise and offset  
specifications can be realized.  
The input voltage of the AD8178 is linear for 0.5 V of differen-  
tial input voltage difference (this limitation is primarily due to  
the ability of the output to swing close to the rails because the  
differential gain through the part is +4). Beyond this level, the  
signal path saturates and limits the signal swing. This is not  
a desired operation because the supply current increases and  
the signal path is slow to recover from clipping. The absolute  
maximum allowed differential input signal is limited by long-  
term reliability of the input stage. The limits in the Absolute  
Maximum Ratings section should be observed to avoid degrading  
device performance permanently.  
Differential Gain  
The specified signal path gain of the AD8178 refers to its  
differential gain. For the AD8178, the gain of +4 means that the  
difference in voltage between the two output terminals is equal  
to four times the difference between the two input terminals.  
AC Coupling of Inputs  
It is possible to ac-couple the inputs of the AD8178 receiver  
so that bias current does not need to be supplied externally.  
A capacitor in series with the inputs to the AD8178 creates  
a high-pass filter with the input impedance of the device. This  
capacitor needs to be large enough that the corner frequency  
includes all frequencies of interest.  
Common-Mode Gain  
The common-mode, or average voltage pairs of output signals  
is set by the voltage on the VOCM_CMENCOFF pin when  
common-mode encoding is off (CMENC is a logic low), or by  
the voltage on the VOCM_CMENCON pin when common-mode  
encoding is on (CMENC is a logic high). Note that in the latter  
case, VCOM_CMENCON sets the overall common mode of  
RGB triplets of differential outputs, and the individual common  
mode of each RGB output is free to change. VCOM_CMENCON  
and VCOM_CMENCOFF are typically set to midsupply (often  
ground) but can be moved approximately 0.5 V to accommodate  
cases where the desired output common-mode voltage may not  
be midsupply (as in the case of unequal split supplies). Adjusting  
the output common-mode voltage beyond 0.5 V can limit differ-  
ential swing internally below the specifications on the data sheet.  
The overall common mode of the output voltages follow the  
voltage applied to VOCM_CMENCON or VCOM_CMENCOFF,  
implying a gain of +1. Likewise, sync-on common-mode signaling  
is carried through the AD8178 (CMENC must be in its high  
state), implying a gain of +1 for this path as well.  
Single-Ended Input  
The AD8178 input receiver can be driven single-endedly  
(unbalanced). Single-ended inputs apply a component of  
common-mode signal to the receiver inputs, which is then  
rejected by the receiver (see the Specifications section for  
common-mode-to-differential-mode ratio of the part).  
The single-ended input resistance, RIN, differs from the  
differential input impedance, and is equal to  
RG  
RF  
RIN

1 −  
2 × (RG + RF )  
with RG and RF, as shown in Figure 49.  
Note that this value is smaller than the differential input  
resistance, but it is larger than RG. The difference is due to the  
component of common-mode level applied to the receiver by  
single-ended inputs. A second, smaller component of input

small amounts of bias current, but noise appearing on these  
pins is buffered to all the output stages. As such, they should  
be connected to low noise, low impedance voltage references  
to avoid being sources of noise, offset, and crosstalk in the  
signal path.  
ended output sums half the differential offset voltage and all  
of the common-mode offset voltage for a net increase in  
observed offset.  
Single-Ended Gain  
The AD8178 operates as a closed-loop differential amplifier.  
The primary control loop forces the difference between the  
output terminals to be a ratio of the difference between the  
input terminals. One output increases in voltage, while the  
other decreases an equal amount to make the total output  
voltage difference correct. The average of these output voltages  
is forced to the voltage on the common-mode reference terminal  
(VOCM_CMENCOFF or VOCM_CMENCON) by a second  
control loop. If only one output terminal is observed with respect  
to the common-mode reference terminal, only half of the differ-  
ence voltage is observed. This implies that when using only one  
output of the device, half of the differential gain is observed.  
An AD8178 taken with single-ended output appears to have  
a gain of +2.  
Termination  
The AD8178 is designed to drive 100 ꢀ terminated to ground  
on each output (or an effective 200 ꢀ differential) while  
meeting data sheet specifications over the specified operating  
temperature range, if care is taken to observe the maximum  
power derating curves.  
Termination at the load end is recommended to shorten settling  
time and provide for best signal integrity. In differential signal  
paths, it is often desirable to series-terminate the outputs, with a  
resistor in series with each output. A side effect of termination  
is an attenuation of the output signal by a factor of two. In this  
case, gain is usually necessary somewhere else in the signal path  
to restore the signal level.  
It is important to note that all considerations that apply to the  
used output phase regarding output voltage headroom apply  
unchanged to the complement output phase, even if this is not  
actually used.  
Whenever a differential output is used single-ended, it is desirable  
to terminate the used single-ended output with a series resistor,  
as well as to place a resistor on the unused output to match the  
load seen by the used output.  
Termination  
When disabled, the outputs float to midsupply. A small current  
is required to drive the outputs away from their midsupply state.  
This current is easily provided by an AD8178 output (in its  
enabled state) bussed together with the disabled output.  
Exceeding the allowed output voltage range may saturate  
internal nodes in the disabled output, and consequently,  
an increase in disabled output current may be observed.  
When operating the AD8178 with a single-ended output, the  
preferred output termination scheme is to refer the load to the  
output common mode. A series termination can be used, at an  
additional cost of one half the signal gain.  
In single-ended output operation, the complementary phase of  
the output is not used and may or may not be terminated locally.  
Although the unused output can be floated to reduce power dissi-  
pation, there are several reasons for terminating the unused output  
with a load resistance matched to the load on the signal output.  
Single-Ended Output  
Usage  
The AD8178 output pairs can be used single-ended, taking only  
one output and not using the second. This is often desired to  
reduce the routing complexity in the design or because a single-  
ended load is being driven directly. This mode of operation  
produces good results but has some shortcomings when compared  
to taking the output differentially. When observing the single-  
ended output, noise that is common to both outputs appears in  
the output signal.  
One component of crosstalk is magnetic coupling by mutual  
inductance between output package traces and bond wires that  
carry load current. In a differential design, there is coupling from  
one pair of outputs to other adjacent pairs of outputs. The differ-  
ential nature of the output signal simultaneously drives the  
coupling field in one direction for one phase of the output and  
in an opposite direction for the other phase of the output. These  
magnetic fields do not couple equally into adjacent output pairs,  
due to different proximities; but they do destructively cancel the  
crosstalk to some extent. If the load current in each output is equal,  
this cancellation is greater and less adjacent crosstalk is observed  
(regardless of whether the second output is actually being used).  
When observing the output single-ended, the distribution of offset  
voltages appears greater. In the differential case, the difference  
between the outputs, when the difference between the inputs is  
zero, is a small differential offset. This offset is created from  
mismatches in devices in the signal path. In the single-ended  
case, this differential offset is still observed, but an additional  
offset component is also relevant. This additional component  
is the common-mode offset, which is the difference between the  
average of the outputs and the output common-mode reference.  
This offset is created by mismatches that affect the signal path  
in a common-mode manner. A differential receiver rejects this  
common-mode offset voltage, but in the single-ended case, this  
offset is observed with respect to the signal ground. The single-  
A second benefit of balancing the output loads in a differential  
pair is to reduce fluctuations in current requirements from the  
power supply. In single-ended loads, the load currents alternate  
from the positive supply to the negative supply. This creates a  
parasitic signal voltage in the supply pins due to the finite  
resistance and inductance of the supplies. This supply fluctuation  
appears as crosstalk in all outputs, attenuated by the power  
supply rejection ratio (PSRR) of the device.

AD8178  
At low frequencies, this is a negligible component of crosstalk,  
but PSRR falls off as frequency increases. With differential,  
balanced loads, as one output draws current from the positive  
supply, the other output draws current from the negative supply.  
When the phase alternates, the first output draws current from  
the negative supply and the second draws from the positive  
supply. The effect is that a more constant current is drawn from  
each supply, such that the crosstalk-inducing supply fluctuation  
is minimized.

A third benefit of driving balanced loads is that the output pulse  
response changes as the load changes. The differential signal  
control loop in the AD8178 forces the difference of the outputs  
to be a fixed ratio to the difference of the inputs. If the two  
output responses are different due to loading, this creates a  
difference that the control loop sees as signal response error, and  
it attempts to correct this error. This distorts the output signal  
from the ideal response compared to the case when the two  
outputs are balanced.

The signal path of the AD8178 is based on high open-loop gain  
amplifiers with negative feedback. Dominant-pole compensation  
is used on-chip to stabilize these amplifiers over the range of  
expected applied swing and load conditions. To guarantee this  
designed stability, proper supply decoupling is necessary with  
respect to both the differential control loops and the common-  
mode control loops of the signal path. Signal-generated currents  
must return to their sources through low impedance paths at all  
frequencies in which there is still loop gain (up to 700 MHz at  
a minimum).  
θJA  
As an example, if the AD8178 is enclosed in an environment at  
45°C (TA), the total on-chip dissipation under all load and supply  
conditions must not be allowed to exceed 7.0 W.  
When calculating on-chip power dissipation, it is necessary to  
include the power dissipated in the output devices due to current  
flowing in the loads. For a sinusoidal output about ground and  
symmetrical split supplies, the on-chip power dissipation due to  
the load can be approximated by  
The signal path compensation capacitors in the AD8178 are  
connected to the VNEG supply. At high frequencies, this limits  
the power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) from the VNEG supply  
to a lower value than that from the VPOS supply. If given a  
choice, an application board should be designed such that the  
VNEG power is supplied from a low inductance plane, subject  
to a least amount of noise.

For nonsinusoidal output, the power dissipation should be  
calculated by integrating the on-chip voltage drop across the  
output devices multiplied by the load current over one period.  
The user can subtract the quiescent current for the Class AB  
output stage when calculating the loaded power dissipation. For  
each output stage driving a load, subtract a quiescent power,  
according to  
VOCM_CMENCON and VOCM_CMENCOFF are high speed  
common-mode control loops of all output drivers. In the single-  
ended output sense, there is no rejection from noise on these  
inputs to the outputs. For this reason, care must be taken to  
produce low noise sources over the entire range of frequencies  
of interest. This is important not only to single-ended operation,  
but to differential operation, because there is a common-mode-  
to-differential gain conversion that becomes greater at higher  
frequencies.

Crosstalk  
Many systems (such as KVM switches) that handle numerous  
analog signal channels have strict requirements for keeping the  
various signals from influencing any of the other signals in the  
system. Crosstalk is the term used to describe the coupling of  
the signals of other nearby channels to a given channel.

sheet quiescent currents, neglecting the VDD current because  
it is insignificant.

(4)  
When there are many signals in close proximity in a system,  
as is undoubtedly the case in a system that uses the AD8178,  
the crosstalk issues can be quite complex. A good understanding  
of the nature of crosstalk and some definition of terms is required  
to specify a system that uses one or more crosspoint devices.

D,QUIESCENT = (2.5 V × 460 mA) + (2.5 V × 460 mA) = 2.3 W

output and ground-referenced load, the output power is  
symmetrical in each output phase.  
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 the  
sharing of common impedances. This section explains these effects.  
D,OUTPUT = (2.5 V − 1 V) × (1 V/100 Ω) = 15 mW  
There are 15 output pairs, or 30 output currents.  
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 (for example, free space) and couples  
with the receiver and induces a voltage. This voltage is an unwanted  
crosstalk signal in any channel that receives it.  
nPD,OUTPUT = 30 × 15 mW = 0.45 W  
3. Subtract quiescent output stage current for the number of  
loads (30 in this example). The output stage is either standing  
or driving a load, but the current needs to be counted only  
once (valid for output voltages > 0.5 V).

DQ,OUTPUT = (VPOS VNEG) × IOUTPUT,QUIESCENT

Currents flowing in conductors create magnetic fields that circulate  
around the currents. These magnetic fields 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.  
DQ,OUTPUT = (2.5 V − (−2.5 V)) × 1.65 mA = 8.25 mW  
There are 15 output pairs, or 30 output currents.  
nPD,OUTPUT = 30 × 8.25 mW = 0.25 W  
4. Verify that the power dissipation does not exceed the  
maximum allowed value.  
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.

D,ON-CHIP = PD,QUIESCENT + nPD,OUTPUT nPDQ,OUTPUT

D,ON-CHIP = 2.3 W + 0.45 W − 0.25 W = 2.5 W  
From Figure 50 or Equation 1, this power dissipation is below  
the maximum allowed dissipation for all ambient temperatures  
up to and including 85°C.  
All these sources of crosstalk are vector quantities, so the magni-  
tudes 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.  
The fact that the AD8178 is a fully differential design means that  
In a general case, the power delivered by the digital supply and  
dissipated into the digital output devices has to be taken into  
account following a similar derivation. However, because the

receiver.  
three at a time; and so on, until, finally, there is only one way to  
drive a test signal into all 15 other input channels in parallel.  
Each of these cases is legitimately different from the others and  
can yield a unique value, depending on the resolution of the  
measurement system, but it is hardly practical to measure all  
these terms and then specify them. In addition, this measurement  
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 outputs (not used for measurement) are taken  
into consideration, the numbers rather quickly grow to astro-  
nomical proportions. If a larger crosspoint array of multiple  
AD8178 devices is constructed, the numbers grow larger still.  
Areas of Crosstalk  
A practical AD8178 circuit must be mounted to an actual circuit  
board to connect it to power supplies and measurement equipment.  
Great care has been taken to create an evaluation board (available  
upon request) that adds minimum crosstalk to the intrinsic device.  
This, however, raises the issue that system crosstalk is a combi-  
nation 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 when attempting to minimize the  
effect of crosstalk.  
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 means that the  
crosstalk to the selected channel is measured while all other system  
channels are driven in parallel. In general, this yields the worst  
crosstalk number; but this is not always the case, due to the vector  
nature of the crosstalk signal.  
In addition, crosstalk can occur among the inputs to a crosspoint  
and among the outputs. It can also occur from input to output.  
In the following sections, techniques are discussed for diagnosing  
which part of a system is contributing to crosstalk.  
Measuring Crosstalk  
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 decibels  
(dB) down from the magnitude of the test signal. The crosstalk  
is expressed by  
Other useful crosstalk measurements are those created by one  
nearest neighbor or by the two nearest neighbors on either side.  
These crosstalk measurements are generally 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.

s = is the Laplace transform variable.  
SEL(s) is the amplitude of the crosstalk induced signal in the

TEST(s) is the amplitude of the test signal.  
Capacitive coupling is voltage-driven (dV/dt), but it is generally  
a constant ratio. Capacitive crosstalk is proportional to input or  
output voltage, but this ratio is not reduced by simply reducing  
signal swings. Attenuation factors must be changed by changing  
impedances (lowering mutual capacitance), or destructive  
canceling must be utilized by summing equal and out-of-phase  
components. For high input impedance devices such as the  
AD8178, capacitances generally dominate input-generated  
crosstalk.  
A

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 has 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.  
Inductive coupling is proportional to current (dI/dt) and often  
scales as a constant ratio with signal voltage, but it also shows  
a dependence on impedances (load current). Inductive coupling  
can also be reduced by constructive canceling of equal and out-  
of-phase fields. In the case of driving low impedance video loads,  
output inductances contribute highly to output crosstalk.  
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 triple 16 × 5 matrix  
of the AD8178, note the number of crosstalk terms that can be  
considered for a single channel, for example, Input Channel  
INPUT0. INPUT0 is programmed to connect to one of the  
AD8178 outputs where the measurement can be made.  
The flexible programming capability of the AD8178 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 (INPUT7 roughly in the middle for this example)  
can be programmed to drive OUTPUT2 (exactly in the middle).  
The inputs to INPUT7 are just terminated to ground (via 50 ꢀ  
or 75 ꢀ), and no signal is applied.  
First, the crosstalk terms associated with driving a test signal into  
each of the other 15 input channels can be measured one at a time,  
while applying no signal to INPUT0. Next, the crosstalk terms  
associated with driving a parallel test signal into all 15 other inputs  
can be measured two at a time in all possible combinations; then  
All the other inputs are driven in parallel with the same test signal  
(practically provided by a distribution amplifier), with all other  
outputs except OUTPUT2 disabled. Because grounded INPUT7  
Rev. 0 | Page 34 of 40  
AD8178  
is programmed to drive OUTPUT2, no signal should be present.  
Any signal that is present can be attributed to the other 15 hostile  
input signals because no other outputs are driven (they are all  
disabled). Thus, this method measures the all hostile input  
contribution to crosstalk into INPUT7. Of course, the method  
can be used for other input channels and combinations of  
hostile inputs.  
windings that drives a load resistor. For low frequencies, the

where:  
XY is the mutual inductance of output X to output Y.

RL is the load resistance on the measured output.  
For output crosstalk measurement, a single input channel is  
driven (INPUT0, for example) and all outputs other than  
a given output (OUTPUT2 in the middle) are programmed to  
connect to INPUT0. OUTPUT2 is programmed to connect to  
INPUT15 (far away from INPUT0), which is terminated to  
ground. Thus, OUTPUT2 should not have a signal present because  
it is listening to a quiet input. Any signal measured at OUTPUT2  
can be attributed to the output crosstalk of the other eight hostile  
outputs. Again, this method can be modified to measure other  
channels and other crosspoint matrix combinations.  
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.  
Effect of Impedances on Crosstalk  
The packaging of the AD8178 is designed to help keep crosstalk  
to a minimum. On the BGA substrate, each pair is carefully routed  
to predominately couple to each other, with shielding traces sepa-  
rating adjacent signal pairs. The ball grid array is arranged such  
that similar board routing can be achieved. Input and output differ-  
ential pairs are grouped by channel rather than by color to allow  
for easy, convenient board routing.  
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 termi-  
nation resistors and the loops that drive them. Thus, the PC board  
on the input side can contribute to magnetically coupled crosstalk.  
The input and output signals have minimum crosstalk if they  
are located between ground planes on layers above and below,  
and are 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 input and output signals surface at the input  
termination resistors and the output series back-termination  
resistors. To the extent possible, these signals should also be  
separated as soon as they emerge from the IC package.  
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 is given by  
XT = 20 log10  
where:  
RS is the source resistance.

PCB Termination Layout  
CM is the mutual capacitance between the test signal circuit and

s is the Laplace transform variable.  
As frequencies of operation increase, the importance of proper  
transmission line signal routing becomes more important. The  
bandwidth of the AD8178 is large enough that using high imped-  
ance routing does not provide a flat in-band frequency response  
for practical signal trace lengths. It is necessary for the user to  
choose a characteristic impedance suitable for the application and  
properly terminate the input and output signals of the AD8178.  
Traditionally, video applications have used 75 ꢀ single-ended  
environments. RF applications are generally 50 ꢀ single-ended  
(and board manufacturers have the most experience with this  
application). Cat-5 cabling is usually driven as differential pairs  
of 100 ꢀ differential impedance.  
Equation 9 illustrates that this crosstalk mechanism has a high-pass  
nature; it can also be minimized by reducing the coupling capaci-  
tance of the input circuits and lowering the output impedance  
of the drivers. If the input is driven from a 75 ꢀ 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 AD8178 is specified with excellent  
settling time when driving a properly terminated Cat-5, the  
crosstalk is higher than the minimum obtainable due to the  
high output currents. These currents induce crosstalk via the  
mutual inductance of the output pins and the bond wires of  
the AD8178.  
For flexibility, the AD8178 does not contain on-chip termina-  
tion resistors. This flexibility in application comes with some  
board layout challenges. The distance between the termination  
of the input transmission line and the AD8178 die is a high  
impedance stub and causes reflections of the input signal. With  
some simplification, it can be shown that these reflections cause  
peaking of the input at regular intervals in frequency, dependent  
From a circuit standpoint, this output crosstalk mechanism  
looks like a transformer with a mutual inductance between the  
Rev. 0 | Page 35 of 40  
AD8178  
on the propagation speed (VP) of the signal in the chosen board  
material and the distance (d) between the termination resistor  
and the AD8178. If the distance is great enough, these peaks can  
occur in-band. In fact, practical experience shows that these  
peaks are not high Q and should be pushed out to three or four  
times the desired bandwidth to not have an effect on the signal.  
For a board designer using FR4 (VP = 144 × 106 m/sec), this  
means the AD8178 should be no more than 1.5 cm after the  
termination resistors and should preferably be placed even closer.  
The BGA substrate routing inside the AD8178 is approximately  
1 cm in length and adds to the stub length, so 1.5 cm PCB routing  
equates to d = 2.5 × 10–2 m in the calculations.  
When driving the AD8178 single-endedly, the undriven input is  
often terminated with a resistance to balance the input stage.  
By terminating the undriven input with a resistor of one-half  
the characteristic impedance, the input stage is perfectly  
balanced (25 ꢀ, for example, to balance the two parallel 50 ꢀ  
terminations on the driven input). However, due to the  
feedback in the input receiver, there is high speed signal current  
leaving the undriven input. To terminate this high speed signal,  
proper transmission line techniques should be used. One  
solution is to adjust the trace width to create a transmission line  
of half the characteristic impedance and terminate the far end  
with this resistance (25 ꢀ in a 50 ꢀ system). This is not often  
practical because trace widths become large. In most cases, the  
best practical solution is to place the half-characteristic impedance  
resistor as close as possible (preferably less than 1.5 cm away)  
and reduce the parasitics of the stub (by removing the ground  
plane under the stub, for example). In either case, the designer  
must decide if the layout complexity created by a balanced,  
terminated solution is preferable to simply grounding the  
undriven input at the ball with no trace.

where n = {0, 1, 2, 3, ...}.  
In some cases, it is difficult to place the termination close to the  
AD8178 due to space constraints, differential routing, and large  
resistor footprints. A preferable solution in this case is to maintain  
a controlled transmission line past the AD8178 inputs and termi-  
nate the end of the line. This is known as fly-by termination.  
The input impedance of the AD8178 is large enough, and stub  
length inside the package is small enough, that this works well  
in practice. Implementation of fly-by input termination often  
includes bringing the signal in on one routing layer, then passing  
through a filled via under the AD8178 input ball, then back out  
to termination on another signal layer. In this case, care must be  
taken to tie the reference ground planes together near the signal  
via if the signal layers are referenced to different ground planes.  
While the examples discussed so far are for input termination,  
the theory is similar for output back-termination. Taking the  
AD8178 as an ideal voltage source, any distance of routing between  
the AD8178 and a back-termination resistor is an impedance  
mismatch that potentially creates reflections. For this reason,  
back-termination resistors should also be placed close to the  
AD8178. In practice, because back-termination resistors are  
series elements, they can be placed close to the AD8178  
outputs.  
Finally, the AD8178 pinout allows the user to bring the outputs  
out as surface traces to the back-termination resistors. The  
designer can avoid creating stubs and reflections by keeping the  
AD8178 output signal path on the surface of the board. A stub  
is created when a top-to-bottom via connection is made on the  
output signal path that is perpendicular to the signal flow.

If multiple AD8178s are to be driven in parallel, a fly-by input  
termination scheme is very useful, but the distance from each  
AD8178 input to the driven input transmission line is a stub  
that should be minimized in length and parasitics by using the  
discussed guidelines.
