General Description
The VSC830 is a monolithic dual 2x2 asynchronous crosspoint switch, designed for critical signal path
control and buffering applications, such as loop-back, protection switching, and multi-channel backplane
driver/receivers. Signal path delay is tightly matched between each output channel to eliminate the need for
delay path compensation when switching between signal sources.
The crosspoint function is based on a multiplexer tree architecture. Each 2x2 switch can be considered as a
pair of 2:1 multiplexers that share the same inputs. The signal path through each switch is fully differential and
delay matched. The signal path is unregistered, so there are no restrictions on the phase, frequency, or signal
pattern at each input. Unused outputs can be independently powered off, thereby eliminating power on unused
sections (see
Design Guide
section in this data sheet). The switch control inputs can be configured to be com-
patible with PECL or TTL levels. The high-speed input and output levels are nominally PECL compatible and
capable of interfacing with a wide range of termination schemes.

Select
As shown in Figure 1, each output can be treated as a 2:1 multiplexer, with the A1 and A2 inputs common
to both multiplexers. The select input S1 independently controls the state of the multiplexer that drives output
Y1, and select input S2 independently controls the output of Y2.

MODE
The interface level of the select pins, S1 and S2, can be programmed to either TTL or PECL levels by short-
ing the MODE pin to either V
CC
or V
EE
. Note that the MODE pin must be tied to either V
CC
or V
EE
. The func-
tion of MODE is specified in Table 2.

Power-Down
Power to each output stage is provided through V
CC
, V
CCP
, and V
EE
. V
CC
is common to all outputs. To
power off unused outputs, tie the respective V
EE
and V
CCP
pin to V
CC
, as shown in Figure 2.

Minimum power configuration requires output channel 1A active, so power must be applied to V

and V

Programmable input termination
Across each differential input (from the + input to the - input) of the VSC830 is a switched 100
Ω
termina-
tion resistor. Using the TERM_ENABLE pin, the termination can be optionally disabled. To enable the input
termination, connect the respective TERM_ENABLE pin to V
CC
. To disable the internal termination, connect
TERM_ENABLE to V
EE
. If unconnected, the TERM_ENABLE pin will self-bias to V
EE
and disable the inter-
nal termination. Independent termination controls are provided for the “A” and “B” switches.
