It is internally connected to the QFN Pin 4, V-. 6556f 7 LT6556 U W U U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO Power Supplies The LT6556 is optimized for 5V supplies but can be operated on as little as 2.25V or a single 4.5V supply and as much as 6V or a single 12V supply. Internally, each supply is independent to improve channel isolation. Do not leave any supply pins disconnected or the part may not function correctly! Enable/Shutdown The LT6556 has a shutdown mode controlled by the EN pin and referenced to the DGND pin. If the amplifier will be enabled at all times, the EN pin can be connected directly to DGND. If the enable function is desired, either driving the pin above 2V or allowing the internal 46k pull-up resistor to pull the EN pin to the top rail will disable the amplifier. When disabled, the output will become very high impedance. Supply current into the amplifier in the disabled state will be: IS = V + - VEN V + - V - + 46k 80k It is important that the following constraints on the DGND, EN and SEL pins are always followed: V+ - VDGND 4.5V -0.5V VEN - VDGND 5.5V VSEL - VDGND 8V In dual supply cases where V+ is less than 4.5V, DGND should be connected to a potential below ground, such as V-. Since the EN and SEL pins are referenced to DGND, they may need to be pulled below ground in those cases. However, in order to protect the internal enable circuitry, the EN pin should not be forced more than 0.5V below DGND. In single supply applications above 5.5V, an additional resistor may be needed from the EN pin to DGND if the pin is ever allowed to float. For example, on a 12V single supply, a 33k resistor would protect the pin from floating too high while still allowing the internal pull-up resistor to disable the part. On dual 2.25V supplies, connecting the DGND pin to V- is the only way of ensuring that V+ - VDGND 4.5V. The enable/disable times of the LT6556 are fast when driven with a logic input. Turn on (from 50% EN input to 50% output) typically occurs in less than 50ns. Turn off is slower, but is typically below 500ns. Channel Select The SEL pin uses the same internal threshold as the EN pin and is also referenced to DGND. When the pin is logic low, the channel A inputs are passed to the output. When the pin is logic high, the channel B inputs are passed to the output. The pin should not be floated but can be tied to DGND to force the outputs to always be channel A or to V+ (when less than 8V) to force the outputs to always be channel B. Truth Table SEL A/B EN OUT 0 0 IN A 1 0 IN B X 1 OFF Input Considerations The LT6556 uses input clamps referenced to the VREF pin to prevent damage to the input stage on the unselected channel. Three transistors in series limit the input voltage to within three diode drops () from VREF . VREF is nominally set to half of the sum of the supplies by the 40k resistors. A simplified schematic is shown in Figure 1. V+ 40k IN VREF 40k V- 6556 F01 Figure 1. Simplified Schematic of VREF Pin and Input Clamping 6556f 8 LT6556 U W U U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO To improve clamping, the pin's DC impedance should be minimized by connecting the VREF pin directly to ground in the symmetric dual supply case with a common mode voltage of 0V. If the common mode voltage is not centered at ground or the input voltage exceeds plus or minus three diodes from ground, an external resistor to either supply can be added to shift the VREF voltage to the desired level. The only way to cover the full input voltage range of V- + 1V to V+ - 1V is to shift VREF up or down. Layout and Grounding It is imperative that care is taken in PCB layout in order to benefit from the very high speed and very low crosstalk of the LT6556. Separate power and ground planes are highly recommended and trace lengths should be kept as short as possible. If input traces must be run over a distance of several centimeters, they should use a controlled impedance with either series or shunt terminations (nominally 50 or 75) to maintain signal fidelity. The VREF pin can also be directly driven with a DC source. Figure 2 shows the effect of the clamp on input current when sweeping input voltage with various VREF pin voltages. Bypassing the VREF pin is not necessary. Care should be taken to minimize capacitance on the LT6556's output traces by increasing spacing between traces and adjacent metal and by eliminating metal planes in underlying layers. To drive cable or traces longer than several centimeters, using the LT6555 with its fixed gain of+2 in conjunction with series and load termination resistors may provide better results. 250 VREF = -2V VREF = -1V VREF = 0V VREF = 1V VREF = 2V 200 INPUT CURRENT (A) 150 100 50 0 -50 -100 -150 TA = 25C VS = 5V -200 -250 -4 -3 -2 0 1 -1 2 INPUT VOLTAGE (V) 3 4 6556 F02 A plot of AC performance driving a 1k load with various trace lengths is shown in Figure 3. All data is from a 4-layer board with 2oz copper, 18mil of board layer thickness to the ground plane, a trace width of 12mils and spacing to adjacent metal of 18mils. The 0.2cm output trace places the 1k resistor as close to the part as possible, while the other curves show the load resistor consecutively further away. The worst case, 4cm, trace has almost 10pF of parasitic capacitance. Figure 2. Input Current vs Input Voltage at Different VREF Voltages 6 AMPLITUDE (dB) 4 The inputs can be driven beyond the point at which the output clips so long as input currents are limited to less than 10mA. Continuing to drive the input beyond the output limit can result in increased current drive and slightly increased swing, but will also increase supply current and may result in delays in transient response at larger levels of overdrive.

Response vs Output Trace Length 6556f 9 LT6556 U W U U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO In order to counteract any peaking in the frequency response from driving a capacitive load, a series resistance can be inserted in the line at the output of the part to flatten the response. Figure 4 shows the frequency response with the same 4cm trace from Figure 3, now with a 10 series resistor inserted near the output pin of the amplifier. Note that using a 10 series resistor with a 1k load only decreases the output amplitude by 0.1dB or 1% and has a minimal effect on the bandwidth of the system. See the graph labeled "Maximum Capacitive Load vs Output Series Resistor" in the Typical Performance Characteristics section for more information. 6 AMPLITUDE (dB) 4 VS = 5V VOUT = 200mVP-P RL = 1k TA = 25C 4cm TRACE 0 4cm TRACE RS, OUT = 10 -4 -6 0.1 1 10 100 FREQUENCY (MHz) Single Supply Operation Figure 5 illustrates how to use the LT6556 with a single supply ranging from 4.5V to 12V. Since the output range is comparable to the input range, the DC bias point at the input can be set anywhere between the supplies that will prevent the AC-coupled signal from running into the output range limits. As shown, the DC input level is mid-supply. The only additional power dissipation in the single supply configuration is through the resistor bias string at the input and through any load resistance at the output. In many cases, the output can be used to directly drive other single supply devices without additional coupling and without any resistive load. 2 -2 To maintain the LT6556's channel isolation, it is beneficial to shield parallel input and parallel output traces using a ground plane or power supply traces. Vias between topside and backside metal may be required to maintain a low inductance ground near the part where numerous traces converge. See Figures 7 and 8 for photos of an optimized layout. 4.5V TO 12V 1000 6556 F04 Figure 4. Response vs Series Output Resistance 5k 22F IN VIN While the AGND pins on the LT6556 are not connected to the amplifier circuitry, tying them to ground or another "quiet" node significantly increases channel isolation and is always recommended. The AGND pins do have ESD protection and therefore should not be connected to potentials outside the power supply range. Low ESL/ESR bypass capacitors should be placed as close to the positive and negative supply pins as possible. One 4700pF ceramic capacitor is recommended for both V+ and V- supply busses. Additional 470pF ceramic capacitors with minimal trace length on each supply pin will further improve AC and transient response as well as channel isolation. For high current drive and large-signal transient applications, additional 1F to 10F tantalums should be added on each supply. The smallest value capacitors should be placed closest to the package. 5k AGND V+ 1/3 LT6556 OUT V- 6556 F05 Figure 5. Single Supply Configuration, One Channel Shown Input Expansion In applications with more than two inputs per channel, multiple LT6556s can be connected directly together at the outputs. Logic circuitry can be used to drive the EN pins of each LT6556 to ensure that only one set of channels is buffered at a time. See Figure 9 for a schematic. Since the output impedance of a disabled LT6556 is high, adding additional channels will not resistively load an 6556f 10 LT6556 U U W U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO enabled output. However, since the disabled LT6556 and its traces have around 6pF of capacitance, it may be desirable to resistively isolate the outputs of each channel to maintain flat frequency response as shown in the graph labeled "Maximum Capacitive Load vs Output Series Resistor" in the Typical Performance Characteristics section. ESD Protection The LT6556 has reverse-biased ESD protection diodes on all pins. If any pins are forced a diode drop above the positive supply or a diode drop below the negative supply, large currents may flow through these diodes. If the current is kept below 10mA, no damage to the devices will occur. U TYPICAL APPLICATIO RGB Multiplexer Demo Board traces and isolate the part from any capacitive loading in those traces, they also contribute to gain error if the output is not terminated with high impedance. For example, if the output is terminated with a 1k load, the 75 back termination will cause a 7% gain error. Decreasing the value of the back termination resistors will decrease the signal attenuation but may compromise the AC response. However, connecting the LT6556 output pins to the output traces on the DC892A board without some series resistance is not recommended; 10 to 20 is generally sufficient. Figures 7 and 8 show the top and bottom side board layout and placement. The DC892A Demo Board illustrates optimal routing, bypassing and termination using the LT6556 as an RGB video multiplexer. The schematic is shown in Figure 6. All inputs and outputs are routed to have a characteristic impedance of 75 and 75 input shunt and output series terminations are connected as close to the part as possible. The board is fabricated with four layers with internal ground and power planes.
