The LT
®
1204 is a 4-input video multiplexer designed to
drive 75Ω cables and easily expand into larger routing
systems. Wide bandwidth, high slew rate, and low differ-
ential gain and phase make the LT1204 ideal for broadcast
quality signal routing. Channel separation and disable
isolation are greater than 90dB up to 10MHz. The channel-
to-channel output switching transient is only 40mV
P-P
,
with a 50ns duration, making the transition imperceptible
on high quality monitors.
A unique feature of the LT1204 is its ability to expand into
larger routing matrices. This is accomplished by a patent
pending circuit that bootstraps the feedback resistors in
the disable condition, raising the true output impedance of
the circuit. The effect of this feature is to eliminate cable
misterminations in large systems.
The large input and output signal levels supported by the
LT1204 when operated on ±15V supplies make it ideal for
general purpose analog signal selection and multiplexing.
A shutdown feature reduces the supply current to 1.5mA.
