8 x 8 Video Crosspoint Switch
_______________General Description
The MAX456 is the first monolithic CMOS 8 x 8 video
crosspoint switch that significantly reduces component
count, board space, and cost. The crosspoint switch
contains a digitally controlled matrix of 64 T-switches
that connect eight video input signals to any, or all, out-
put channels. Each matrix output connects to eight
internal, high-speed (250V/µs), unity-gain-stable buffers
capable of driving 400Ω and 20pF to ±1.3V. For appli-
cations requiring increased drive capability, the
MAX456 outputs can be connected directly to two
MAX470 quad, gain-of-two video buffers, which are
capable of driving 75Ω loads.
Three-state output capability and internal, programma-
ble active loads make it feasible to parallel multiple
MAX456s and form larger switch matrices.
In the 40-pin DIP package, crosstalk (70dB at 5MHz) is
minimized, and board area and complexity are simpli-
fied by using a straight-through pinout. The analog
inputs and outputs are on opposite sides, and each
channel is separated by a power-supply line or quiet
digital logic line.

Digital Ground Pins. Both DGND pins must have the same potential and
be bypassed to AGND. DGND should be within ±0.3V of AGND.
When this control line is high, the 2nd-rank registers are loaded with the
rising edge of the LATCH line. If this control line is low, the 2nd-rank reg-
isters are transparant when LATCH is low, passing data directly from the
1st-rank registers to the decoders.
All V+ pins must be tied to each other and bypassed to AGND
separately (Figure 2).

Both V- pins must be tied to each other and bypassed to AGND

8 x 8 Video Crosspoint Switch
_______________Detailed Description
Output Buffers
The MAX456 video crosspoint switch consists of 64
T-switches in an 8 x 8 grid (Figure 1). The 8 matrix out-
puts are followed by 8 wideband buffers optimized for
driving 400Ω and 20pF loads. Each buffer has an
internal active load on the output that can be readily
shut off via the LOAD input (off when LOAD = 0V). The
shut-off is useful when two or more MAX456 circuits are
connected in parallel to create more input channels.
With more input channels, only one set of buffers can
be active and only one set of loads can be driven.
And, when active, the buffer must have either
1) an internal load, 2) the internal load of another buffer
in another MAX456, or 3) an external load.
Each MAX456 output can be disabled under logic con-
trol. When a buffer is disabled, its output enters a high-
impedance state. In multichip parallel applications, the
disable function prevents inactive outputs from loading
lines driven by other devices. Disabling the inactive
buffers reduces power consumption.
The MAX456 outputs connect easily to MAX470 quad,
gain-of-two buffers when 75Ω loads must be driven.
___________________Digital Interface
The desired switch state can be loaded in a 7-bit paral-
lel-interface mode or 32-bit serial-interface mode (see
Table 3 and Figures 4-6). All action associated with the
WR line occurs on its rising — –
– —edge. The same is true for
— —
the LATCH line if EDGE/LEVEL is high. Otherwise, the
second-rank– registers update while LATCH is low
— —–
——
(when EDGE/LEVEL is low). WR is logically ANDed with
–—
–
CE and C E to allow active-high or active-low chip
enable.
MAX456
7-Bit Parallel Mode
In the parallel-interface mode, the 7 data bits A2-A0
and D3-D0 specify an output channel (A2-A0) and the
input channel to which it connects (D3-D0). The data is
loaded on the rising edge of WR. The 8 input channels
are selected by 0000 through 0111 (D3-D0). The
remaining 8 codes (1000-1111) control other MAX456
functions, as listed in Table 1.
–—
—–
In serial mode (SER/PAR = high), all first-rank registers
are loaded with data, making it unnecessary to specify
an output address (A2, A1, A0). The input data format
is D3-D0, starting with OUT0 and ending with OUT7 for
32 total bits. Only codes 0000 through 1010 are valid.
Code 1010 disables a buffer, while code 1001 enables
it. After data is shifted into the 32-bit first-rank register,
it is transferred to the second rank by the LATCH line
(see Table 2).
32-Bit Serial-Interface Mode
Power-On RESET
The MAX456 has an internal power-on reset (POR) cir-
cuit that remains low for 5µs when power is applied.
POR also remains low if the total supply voltage is less
than 4V.
The POR disables all buffer outputs at
power-up,
but the switch matrix is not preset to any ini-
tial condition. The desired switch state should be pro-
grammed before the buffer outputs are enabled.
