GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AD8152 is a member of the Xstream line of products and is a
breakthrough in digital switching, offering a large switch array
(34 × 34) on very little power, typically 2.0 W. Additionally, it
operates at data rates up to 3.2 Gbps per port, making it suitable
for Sonet/SDH OC-48 with Forward Error Correction (FEC).
The AD8152’s useful supply voltage range allows the user to
operate at LVPECL/CML data levels down to 2.5 V. The control
interface is LVTTL or LVCMOS compatible on 2.5 V to 3.3 V.
The AD8152’s fully differential signal path reduces jitter and
crosstalk while allowing the use of smaller single-ended voltage
swings. It is offered in a 256-ball SBGA package that operates
over the industrial temperature range of 0°C to 85°C.

CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although the
AD8152 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices
subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended
to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

NOTES
1
Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause perma-
nent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only; functional operation of the
device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational
sections of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating
conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

MAXIMUM POWER DISSIPATION
The maximum power that can be safely dissipated by the AD8152 is
limited by the associated rise in junction temperature. The maxi-
mum safe junction temperature for plastic encapsulated devices
is determined by the glass transition temperature of the plastic,
approximately 150°C. Temporarily exceeding this limit may cause

exerted on the die by the package. Exceeding a junction tem-
perature of 175°C for an extended period can result in device
failure. To ensure proper operation, it is necessary to observe the
maximum power derating curves shown in Figure 2.

CONTROL INTERFACE
The AD8152 control interface receives and stores the desired
connection matrix and output levels for the 34 input and 34 output
signal pairs. The interface consists of 34 rows of double-rank
6-bit latches, one for each output. The 6-bit data-word stored
in these latches indicates to which (if any) of the 34 inputs the
output will be connected, as well as the full-scale output current.
One output at a time can be preprogrammed by addressing the
output and writing the desired connection data or output cur-
rent into the first rank of latches. This process can be repeated
until each of the desired output changes has been preprogrammed.
All output connections can then be programmed at once by passing
the data from the first rank of latches into the second rank. The
output connections always reflect the data programmed into the
second rank of latches and do not change until the first rank of
data is passed into the second rank.
If necessary for system verification, the data in the second rank
of latches can be read back from the control interface.
At any time, a reset pulse can be applied to the control interface to
globally reset the appropriate second rank data bits, disabling all 34
signal output pairs and resetting the output currents. To facilitate
multiple chip address decoding, there is a chip select pin. All logic
signals except the reset pulse are ignored unless the chip select
pin is active. The chip select pin disables only the control logic
interface and does not change the operation of the signal matrix.
The chip select pin does not power down any of the latches, so any
data programmed in the latches is preserved.
All control pins are level-sensitive, not edge-triggered.
CONTROL PIN DESCRIPTION
A[6:0] Inputs
Output address pins. The binary encoded address applied to the
lower A[5:0] input pins determines which of the 34 outputs is
being programmed (or being read back). The most significant bit,
A6, determines whether the data pins contain information for
the connection register bank or the output level register bank.
Using the broadcast address, A[5:0] = “111111” will simulta-
neously program data into all outputs at once.
D[5:0] Inputs/Outputs
Input configuration or output level data pins. In write mode,
when the bank selection bit A6 is LOW, the binary encoded data
applied to pins D[5:0] determine which of the 34 inputs is to be
connected to the output specified with the A[5:0] pins. The most
significant bit is D5, and the least significant bit is D0. To disable
an output completely, the input address D[5:0] = “111111”
should be written into the input configuration bank at the desired
output address.
In write mode, when the bank selection bit A6 is HIGH, the
binary encoded data applied to pins D[3:0] indicate the output
current level to be used for the output specified with the A[5:0]
pins. The reset default is “0111” for 16 mA. Each LSB is 2 mA.
In readback mode, pins D[5:0] are low impedance outputs
indicating the data-word stored in the second rank for the out-
put specified with the A[5:0] pins and the bank specified with
the A6 bit. The readback drivers were designed to drive high
impedances only, so external drivers connected to the D[5:0]
should be disabled during readback mode.
WE Input
First rank write enable. Forcing this pin to logic low allows the
data on pins D[5:0] to be stored in the first rank latch for the
output specified by pins A[6:0]. The WE pin must be returned to a
logic high state after a write cycle to avoid overwriting the first
rank data.
UPDATE Input
Second rank write enable. Forcing this pin to logic low allows the
data stored in all 34 first rank latches (in both banks) to be trans-
ferred to the second rank latches. The signal connection matrix
will be reprogrammed when the second rank data and levels are
changed. This is a global pin, transferring all 34 rows of data at
once. It is not necessary to program the address pins. It should
be noted that after initial power-up of the device, the first rank
data is undefined. It is desirable to preprogram all 17 outputs
before performing the first update cycle.
RE Input
Second rank read enable. Forcing this pin to logic low enables the
output drivers on the bidirectional D[5:0] pins, entering the read-
back mode of operation. By selecting an output address with the
A[6:0] pins and forcing RE to logic low, the 6-bit data stored in
the second rank latch for that output address will be written to
D[5:0] pins. Data should not be written to the D[5:0] pins
externally while in readback mode. The RE is a higher priority
pin than the WE pin, so first rank programming is not possible
while in readback mode.
REV. A
AD8152

CS Input
Chip select. This pin must be forced to logic low to program or
receive data from the logic interface, with the exception of the
RESET pin, described below. This pin has no effect on the signal
pairs and does not alter any of the stored control data.
RESET Input
Global output disable pin. Forcing the RESET pin to logic low
will disable all outputs, setting both ranks of all 34 input connec-
tion latches, regardless of the state of any other pins. This has the
effect of immediately disabling the 34 output signal pairs in the
matrix. The output level information is also changed. It is necessary
to momentarily hold RESET at a logic low state when powering
up the AD8152 in order to avoid random internal contention
where multiple inputs may be connected to one output. The
RESET pin is not gated by the state of the chip select pin, CS.
Control Interface Levels
The AD8152 control interface shares the data path supply pins,
VCC and VEE. The potential between the positive logic supply
VCC and the negative supply VEE
must be at least 2.25 V and no
more than 3.63 V. Regardless of supply, the logic threshold is
approximately one-half the supply range, allowing the interface
to be used with most LVCMOS and LVTTL logic drivers.
Output Addressing
The AD8152 is programmed using a memory interface module,
with parallel address and data buses. Six bits (A5:A0) are used to
address the outputs. By setting the decimal value of these address
bits to a value from 0 to 33 inclusive, then one of the 34 outputs
is uniquely addressed.
One additional code, 63 (all 1s), is used for the broadcast mode.
If this address is selected, then all outputs will receive the same
programming. The remaining addresses in the space are not
valid and are reserved, Codes 34 to 66 inclusive. (See Table I.)
Connection and Output Current Programming
A seventh address bit (A6) determines which of two types of
programming is selected. If A6 = 0, connection matrix program-
ming is selected. If A6 = 1, output current programming is selected.
Using the Data Bus
Once it is determined which output is to be programmed (or broad-
cast to all outputs) and which type of programming (connection/
output-current), then the data bits (D5:D0) further define the
programming action.
If the selection is connection programming (A6 = 0), then the data
bits select the input that is to be connected to the addressed
output. If the broadcast address is selected, then the data bits select
the input that will be connected to all 34 outputs. (See Table II.)
A disable code (D5:D0 = 63, or all 1s) is used to disable (and
power down) the particular output that is addressed. A broadcast
disable can be effected by setting Code 63 on both the address
bus and the data bus along with A6 = 0.
Output-Current Programming
A current source in each output can be digitally programmed to
any one of 16 different current levels. Changing these current
levels will change the amplitude of the output swing that is
developed across the internal 50 W termination resistors.
To program the current for a particular output, its address is set on
A5:A0 (00–33), while A6 is set to 1. The four LSBs of the data
address (D3:D0) are then used to select one of the 16 output
current levels. D4 and D5 are “don’t cares” for output current
programming. (See Table III.)
If it is desired to program all outputs to the same current level,
then the broadcast Code 63 can be placed on the address bus
(A5:A0), along with A6 = 1. (D3:D0) will then program all output
currents to the same level.
When the current code is set to 0000, a minimum current level
of 2 mA is obtained. For any other code, the current can be
calculated by (current code) ¥ 2 mA + 2 mA. Refer to Table III.
For example, 16 mA can be programmed by Code 0111. This is
7 ¥ 2 mA + 2 mA = 16 mA.
Register-Control Signals
Several single-ended logic input pins control the register loading
associated with the address and data buses described in the previ-
ous section. The control functions are tabulated in Table IV.
There are dual ranks of registers for the data that programs the
AD8152. The first rank registers accumulate the data for the
various outputs as they are being programmed one by one. The
second rank registers actually control the functions of the device.
The RESET signal is used to reset the connection matrix, disable
all outputs, and set all of the output currents to a default condition
at Code 0111. This action sets the output current to a nominal
value of 16 mA. The data in the first rank latches is also reset by
the assertion of RESET.
The CS signal is used to enable the control interface. If several
devices are used in a system with the other control signals
bussed, the CS signal can be used to select an individual device
to change its programming.
The WE signal is used to enable writing data to the first rank
registers. This data will not immediately affect the features of
the AD8152.
The UPDATE signal transfers the data from the first rank registers
to the second rank registers. After assertion of UPDATE, the
data actively controls the AD8152 functions.
The second rank registers can be read back through the data bus.
The output is addressed on A5:A0 and the connection/current is
selected via A6. Asserting RE will cause the second rank data to
appear on the data bus. The RE function will dominate over
WE if both are asserted at the same time. Broadcast readback is
not permitted.
Some typical programming waveforms for the control signals are
provided in Figure 6.

Input/Output Coupling
The AD8152 has internal 50 W termination resistors for each
single-ended input and output. This can also provide a 100 W
termination for a 100 W differential transmission line. All of the
input termination resistors connect to one common point called
VTTI. Similarly, each of the output termination resistors connects
to one common point called VTTO. The voltage can be set
independently at VTTI and VTTO to accommodate various
interface architectures.

AD8152
Input Coupling
One way to simplify the input circuit and make it compatible with
a wide variety of driving devices is to use ac coupling. This has
the effect of isolating the dc common-mode levels of the driver
and the AD8152 input circuitry. For example, the XAUI inter-
connect specification for 10 Gbps Ethernet requires ac coupling
in order to ensure that there are no interactions of dc levels
between the transmitting and receiving devices.
AC coupling requires that the signal patterns have no long-term
dc component, which may occur in any random data stream.
Codes such as 8b/10b, called for in the XAUI specification, are
used in many data communications systems to ensure that the
data pattern is benign in an ac-coupled link. This is accomplished
by run-length limiting (RLL), which sets a maximum for the
number of 1s or 0s that can occur consecutively. In addition,
residual dc components are monitored and modified by keeping
track of the running disparity, excess of 1s versus 0s or vice versa.
For the AD8152 inputs, ac coupling requires a capacitor in series
with each single-ended input signal, as shown in Figure 7. This
should be done in a manner that does not interfere with the high
speed signal integrity of the PC board. The details of this are
covered in the section on board layout guidelines. The two critical
variables are setting the proper voltage for VTTI and selecting
the correct value of coupling capacitors.

Figure 7. AC-Coupling Input Signal from AD8152
On the AD8152 side of the input coupling capacitor, the average
value of the single-ended input voltage will be at the voltage set at
VTTI. The range of allowable voltages is a function of the accept-
able input voltages of the active circuitry of the AD8152 inputs
and the amplitude of the input signal. The operating input range
of the AD8152 extends from VCC + 0.2 V to 0.8 V above VEE.
The total range that will be occupied by the input signal will be
its average value (as established by the voltage applied to VTTI)
plus or minus one half the single-ended swing of the signal. For a
standard 800 mV p-p differential signal, the single-ended swing is
400 mV p-p. Thus, the signal will swing ±200 mV about the
average value equal to VTTI.
If VTTI is set equal to VCC, then the single-ended signal will
just meet the specifications where its highest excursion will be
0.2 V higher than VCC. The lowest level to set VTTI is 0.8 V
above VEE. This will cause the negative signal excursions to stay
within the operating range.
With ac-coupled inputs, there is no power consumption advan-
tage associated with varying VTTI. As a practical matter, it
might be desirable to set VTTI at the same voltage as VTTO so
that only one supply is necessary. Refer to the VTTO section for
more information.
Output Coupling
Each single-ended output of the AD8152 has a termination
resistor that ties to a common point called VTTO. When VTTO
is varied, it will change the common-mode levels of the outputs
and the power dissipation of the output stages when they are
enabled.
The individual output currents are programmable. Varying this
current will change the lower level of the output voltage (and thus
the peak-to-peak swing) and also change the power dissipation in
the output stages. To obtain a standard 800 mV p-p differential
output (single-ended = 400 mV p-p), the output current should
be programmed to 16 mA. With an effective termination resis-
tance of 25 W, this will generate the proper differential voltage.
If the AD8152 drives another device that is ac-coupled, there is no
interaction of the dc levels on each side of the coupling capacitors
(see Figure 8). The dc levels for the AD8152 can be calculated
independent of the levels of the device that is driven.
The upper allowable setting for VTTO is 0.2 V higher than VCC.
The signals will be pulled up to this level at their highest excursion.
However at this setting, the power dissipation will be a maximum.
To save power, VTTO can be lowered. The lowest level for
VTTO will be determined by the lowest output level allowable
(V
OL
) by the AD8152 output when it is logically low. The output
at any time should not go lower than 1.0 V below VCC. If the
single-ended swing of an output is 400 mV p-p, then the lowest
that VTTO can go is 0.6 V below VCC. For more information
on V
OL
, see TPC 17.

AD8152 POWER CONSUMPTION
There are several sections of the AD8152 that draw varying
power depending on the supply voltages, the type of I/O coupling
used, and the status of the AD8152 operation. Figure 9 shows a
block diagram of these sections. These are described briefly below
and then in detail later in the data sheet. Table X summarizes the
power consumption of each section and is a useful guide as the
following sections are reviewed.
The first section is the input termination resistors. The power
dissipated in the termination resistors is the result of their being
driven by the respective driving stage. Also, there might be dc power
dissipated in the input termination resistors if the inputs are
dc-coupled and the driving source reference is a dc voltage that is
not equal to VTTI.
In the next section, the active part of the input stages, each input
is powered only when it is selected. If an input is not selected, it

of these two currents will flow through the switches and the current
source of the AD8152 output circuit and out through VEE.
The power dissipated in the transmission line and the destination
resistor will not be dissipated in the AD8152, but will have to be
supplied from the power supply, and is a factor in the overall system
power. The current in the on-chip termination resistors and the
output current source will dissipate power in the AD8152 itself.
Input Termination Resistors
The power dissipated in the input termination resistors is
delivered by the driving source. First, assume the driving wave-
form for an individual input is a differential square wave with an
amplitude of Vinpp. Then the power dissipated in this input is
(Vinpp)
2
/2Rterm.
However, this result is quite pessimistic, because at high fre-
quencies, the wave shape is usually more sinusoidal than square.
If instead, a differential sine wave of amplitude Vinpp is assumed,
then its rms amplitude is 0.7 times that of a square wave. This will
yield a power that is one half of the square wave case. The assumed
wave shape is not too critical because the fraction of the power
dissipated in the input termination resistors is not very large.
A further effect is that the input signal might travel over a path
that attenuates the signal. This will usually be a function of
frequency. Thus, for such a case, some of the signal power will
be dissipated in the signal path. This will reduce the amount of
power dissipated in the AD8152 input terminations.
If dc coupling is used, a dc current will flow from VTTI
through
the termination resistors if the dc voltage of the drive circuit is not
equal to VTTI. The additional power in each input termination
resistor will be the current that flows multiplied by the 50 W
value of the input terminations.
For a point of reference, assume a channel has a sinusoidal input
of
800 mV p-p differential. The power dissipated for a single input
will be 3.2 mW. If all 34 input channels are driven the same, then
the power in the input terminations will be 109 mW.
Input Stage
The input stages are powered down when not in use. There is
about 2 mA that flows through an enabled input from VCC to VEE.
Thus, the power dissipated by an enabled input is 5 mW for a
supply of 2.5 V and 6.6 mW for a 3.3 V supply. For all 34 inputs
enabled, the respective figures are 170 mW for a 2.5 V supply
and 224 mW for a 3.3 V supply.
Switch Matrix
The switch matrix draws a fixed 32 mA when the AD8152 is
powered. This current flows from VCC to VEE. The power dissi-
pation from this current is 80 mW at 2.5 V and 106 mW at 3.3 V.
Output Predrivers
The output predrivers draw additional current when each of the
outputs is enabled. This extra current is proportional to the
programmed output current. The extra predriver current for a
channel will be 25 percent of the programmed output current
for that channel. This current will also flow from VCC to VEE.
When an output is enabled and programmed to 16 mA, an addi-
tional 4 mA will flow in the predriver section. This will dissipate
10 mW at 2.5 V or 13.2 mW at 3.3 V for an individual output.
For all 34 outputs enabled and programmed to 16 mA, the
predriver power will be 340 mW at 2.5 V or 449 mW at 3.3 V.
OUTPUTS
The output current is forced by a current source that is pro-
grammed to a variable amount of current from 2 mA to 32 mA
in 2 mA steps. For the two logic switch states, this current flows
through an on-chip termination resistor and a parallel path to the
destination device and its termination resistor. The power in this
parallel path is not dissipated by the AD8152.
The nominal programmed output current is 16 mA. With the two
parallel 50 W resistors at each collector (25 W equivalent), this
current will create a 400 mV p-p swing in each half of the circuit.
The differential output voltage will be 800 mV p-p.
Under steady state conditions and with a data pattern that is
run-length limited so that its low frequency content is significantly
higher than the RC pole formed by the coupling capacitor and the
termination resistors, the common-mode level at the AD8152
outputs will be 400 mV lower than VTTO. Each output will then
swing ±200 mV from this level, which is a 400 mV p-p single-
ended output swing.
At the high level, there will be 200 mV across the termination
resistor. This will dissipate a power of 0.8 mW. At the low level, the
600 mV across the termination resistor will dissipate a power of
7.2 mW. Since the output signal is basically 50% duty cycle, the
average power dissipated will be the average of these two values
or 4 mW. By symmetry, the other differential output will dissipate
the same power. This yields an on-chip termination-resistor
power dissipation of 8 mW per channel for each output, or 272 mW
for all 34 outputs.
The full output current (from both on- and off-chip termination
resistors) will flow in the lower part of each output. This current
flows only in the side that is “on,” or in its low state (V
OL
). This
voltage is 600 mV below the dc level at VTTO.
Thus, for VTTO = 2.5 V, V
OL
= 1.9 V, and the power dissipa-
tion for I
OUT
= 16 mA is 30.4 mA. For all 34 channels, the
power is 1.03 W.
If VTTO = 3.3 V, then V
OL
= 2.7 V. The single power is 43.2 mW
and the power for all 34 channels is 1.47 W.
If VTTO = 2.5 V, then the additional power is given by 16 mA
¥ [(2.5 V – (16 mA ¥ 25 W)] = 33.6 mW. Thus, the total AD8152
power dissipation for this output is 37.6 mW.
If all 34 outputs are enabled with the same I
OUT
, the total power
dissipation is 1.28 W. Thus it can be seen that the outputs are
the major contributor to the power dissipation.
Power Saving Considerations
While the AD8152 power consumption is very low compared to
similar devices, careful control of its operating conditions can yield
further power savings. Significant power reduction can be realized
by operating the part at a lower voltage. Compared to 3.3 V
operation, a supply voltage of 2.5 V can result in power savings of
about 25 percent. There is virtually no performance penalty when
operating at lower voltage.
A second measure is to disable outputs when they are not being
used. This can be done on a static basis if the output is not used,
or on a dynamic basis if the output does not have a constant
stream of traffic.
Since the majority of the power dissipated is in the output stage,
some of its flexibility can be used to lower the power consumption.

First, the output current can be programmed to the smallest amount
required to maintain BER performance. If an output circuit
always has a short length and the receiver has good sensitivity,
then a lower output current can be used.
It is also possible to lower the voltage on VTTO to lower the
power dissipation. The amount that VTTO can be lowered is
dependent on the lowest of all the output’s V
OL
. This will be
determined by the output that is operating at the highest pro-
grammed output current since V
OL
= VTTO – (I

EVALUATION BOARD AND PCB LAYOUT HINTS
The AD8152 evaluation board was designed to allow the user to
analyze signal integrity in many configurations, as controlled by
a standard PC.
The FR4 board comes equipped with a full complement of
136 SMA connectors to support the complete 34 34 matrix of
points. Each differential pair of microstrip is connected to either
top mount or side-launch SMA connectors. The mounting area of
the short center pin top-mount SMA connectors are drilled (seven
holes) and stubbed for greatly improved performance. In the
area surrounding SMA top-mount center pin and drill holes, all
internal planes are relieved or cleared out (see Figure 10 for layout).

The FR4 PC board is eight layers with a thickness of 62 mils
(1.57 mm). The two outer most metal layers hold the high speed
microstrip routing lines. The two outer most dielectric layers are
5mils thick and must be controlled impedance (50 W) layers. These
are the only two layers that require controlled impedance. The
next two inner metal layers are ground (reference) planes for the
microstrip and are the shell for the SMA connectors. The remain-
ing four inner metal layers are for the four AD8152 supply and
digital control signal routing. From top to bottom the four supply
layers are VTTO, VCC, VEE, and VTTI. Because all four supply
PCB metal layers float, positive, negative, and even dual-supply
configurations are possible. The variety of supply configurations
ease the connection of test equipment. The four inner supply
layers also provide an interlayer capacitance, which has better
impedance versus frequency than standard chip capacitors.

AD8152
The variety of supply configurations cause the need for a supply
agile digital control circuitry. This is done by a programmable
logic device (PLD), which provides instructions to the AD8152.
The PLD supply is typically tied with jumpers across the AD8152’s
VCC and VEE supplies (Jumpers J3 and J4). The PLD is addressed
from the PC by way of digital isolators. These couplers isolate
PC levels from the PLD and allow for any level shifting. If
desired, the user can drive the PLD supply separately as long as
the VEE of the AD8152 and the PLD are tied together (remove
Jumper J3 and leave J4 installed). This allows one to measure
the AD8152 only supply current, for example.
Board Construction or Stack-Up
Figure 11 is a picture of AD8152 evaluation board stack-up from
top to bottom. The layer stack-up has been made symmetrical
to avoid board warpage during manufacture. The microstrip
layout and dimensions are shown in Figure 12. The microstrip
trace width was chosen to be 8 mils. This allows relative ease in
routing through the BGA rows that are 50 mils (1.27 mm) apart.
The outer two out of four rows of high speed signals are routed on
top of the PCB, while the inner two rows are via holed to the
board’s opposite side and then routed outward. Wider microstrip
is desirable for reducing eye height loss versus long traces; how-
ever, the routing will be more difficult as the AD8152 is approached.
The wide microstrip would have to be necked down in width in
order to be routed into the BGA. The necking will increase trace
impedance and therefore induce more signal reflection problems.

During the layout of the differential microstrip, a software tool
snaps the distance between the two traces to be a constant. If
the distance is not kept constant, impedance variations will
result. These fluctuations can be measured by time domain
reflectometry (TDR).
EXTRA ADDED INDUCTANCE
Figure 14. Poor Capacitor Layout
Bypass Capacitor Layout
The AD8152 8-layer PCB takes advantage of buried interlayer
capacitance. The VEE to VCC planes are placed in the very middle
of the board to make the highest value capacitor. The 4 mil
(0.102 mm) dielectric spacing between VCC/VEE yields 26 nF
of capacitance. Each AD8152 supply pin is directly connected to
its supply plane through a via hole beneath the BGA ball. The
via hole size for a BGA supply pin is slightly bigger than a signal
via. This is to reduce the inductance of the connection, and it
also happens to be a compact layout.
For the chip capacitors, the via holes are placed directly in the
middle of the mounting area and made as large as possible, i.e.,
greater than or equal to 35 mils (0.89 mm). This is to minimize
inductance as much as possible. By minimizing inductance, the
performance of the capacitor or impedance versus frequency
response is not greatly diminished. Note that chip capacitors
will work up to only about 300 MHz.
Figure 14 is an example of a bypass capacitor layout that should
be avoided in any high speed printed circuit board. This layout
connects the chip capacitor mounting pads to small via holes
through a skinny PCB trace. This amounts to four extra inductors
added to the capacitor, two largely from the skinny surface traces
and two from small via holes. Inductance is also variable with
copper thickness and attachment method to power plane. Thermal
relief for soldering purposes also adds unwanted inductance and
should be avoided.

Figure 15. Evaluation Board ECL Driver Test Setup
Connections for Testing
The AD8152 evaluation board can be used under a variety of posi-
tive or negative supply configurations. Negative supply configurations,
as shown in Figure 15, allow the easiest hookup to test equip-
ment because inputs and outputs can be direct coupled. In a real
world application however, the negative supply configuration would
be difficult because control logic levels must be shifted negative.
Figure 16 is an example of a loop-through test setup using a posi-
tive supply. In this case, the test signal goes through the AD8152
twice. It is possible to loop through multiple times if desired, but
jitter will increase with number of loop-throughs. The first
input from the generator and the last output to a scope must be
ac-coupled. However, an AD8152 output driving its own input can
be direct-coupled. Direct coupling to the first AD8152 input is not
effective since generators usually want to see 50 W to ground.
This would require VTTI to be attached to ground, causing
excessive power to be dissipated in the internal 50 W input
termination resistors. Secondly, when the AD8152 output tries
to drive its own input with VTTI = 0 V and VTTO = 2.5 V, the
input will pull the output stage levels down enough to shut off
any signal toggling.
All ac coupling shown is actually done with a set of bias tees. If
desired, the bias tee can be used to monitor average dc voltage
levels at an input or output (depending on direction installed),
and it can also serve to change input dc levels. Make sure the
bias tees used in the setup have enough low frequency bandwidth
to pass long patterns and keep edge rates intact. The longer the
pattern, the more low frequency bandwidth is needed.
If ac coupling is desired on a user board, 0402 or 0603 sized
capacitors can be installed on microstrip lines. The biggest 0402
size, XR7 type usable is 0.01 mF, which will work fine for short
patterns (PRBS 2
7
–1) and data rates down to 1.0 Gbps. For
long patterns a 0603 sized, XR7 type, 0.1 mF should be used. To
decrease capacitive loading from the mounting area, clear out
planes underneath the coupling capacitor.
In Figure 16, 6 dB attenuators are placed before the AD8152
input ac-coupling or bias tees. This is because many generators
won’t go below 500 mV single-ended. The output pair of 6 dB
attenuators is present to protect the scope inputs and allow for
higher scale voltages per division. The eye diagram is usually
viewed differentially by using a simple P – N math function.
Cabling used in this setup must be matched. Mismatched cables
cause either a P or N signal to be falsely delayed. This delay can
show up as a change in the crossing point, from 50 percent in the
eye diagram. To accurately check cable matches, a TDR setup
is recommended.

EVALUATION BOARD CONTROL SOFTWARE
The AD8152 evaluation board can be controlled by using a PC
and a custom software program. The hardware interface uses a
PC parallel (or printer) port. A standard printer cable is used to
connect from the PC DB-25 connector to the Centronics-type
connector on the evaluation board. Figure 17 shows an evaluation
board control panel from a PC display.
A single screen allows control of all the programmable functions
of the AD8152. The programming modes are listed in the Mode
box. Select either I/O Programming or Current Programming by
selecting the appropriate radio button. These will allow either
programming the switch matrix or the output currents one at a time.
An alternative is to use the Broadcast mode. This will either
simultaneously program all of the outputs to one selected input
or program all outputs to the same current.
Figure 17. Evaluation Board Control Panel
In the I/O Programming mode (nonbroadcast), the desired input
is selected from the Input Select box by double-clicking on the
appropriate input channel number. This will cause the same
channel to appear in the Active Input Selection indicator window.
Next, select the desired output from the Output Select box by double-
clicking
the appropriate output channel number.
Finally, the Program button is clicked and the data is immediately
sent to the evaluation board for programming the part to the
selected I/O combination.
If an additional output(s) is desired to be programmed to the same
input, double-click the desired output channel number and click
the Program button.
The Programmed Output table indicates which outputs are
programmed to the input that is indicated in the Active Input
Selection window. If it is desired to disable an individual output,
its radio button in the Programmed Output table can be clicked,
and it will change from black to white to indicate that it is not
enabled. Note: It is not possible to program outputs by selecting
their radio buttons.
To observe the set of outputs that are connected to any input,
double-click the desired input channel number from the Input
Select box. The selected channel number will show up in the Active
Input Selection window and the programmed outputs will have a
black dot in their radio button in the Programmed Output table.
To program an output current, select the Current Programming
button in the Mode box. Then double-click the desired output
channel number from the Output Select table. Next double-click
the desired entry for the Output Current. Finally, click the
Program button.
If the Broadcast button is selected from the Mode box, all outputs
will be treated the same. If I/O Programming is selected, double-
click the input channel number from the Input Select table
and click the Program button. This will cause all outputs to be
programmed to the selected output, and all of the buttons will
have a black dot in the Programmed Output table.
For broadcast current programming, double-click the desired
Output Current. Then click the Program button. All of the outputs
will be programmed to the selected output current.
The Reset button will disable all outputs. In addition, all output
currents will be programmed to the nominal value of 16 mA.
