USING THE ADA4830-2 AS A LOW COST VIDEO
SWITCH
Figure 34 shows a video multiplexer/switch using the ADA4830-2,
dual, high speed difference amplifier. This circuit allows the user
to input two remote video sources into a single channel of a video
decoder, such as the ADV7180.
Traditional CMOS multiplexers and switches suffer several
disadvantages at video frequencies where their on-resistance
introduces distortion, degrades differential gain and phase
performance, and interacts with the termination resistor to
attenuate the incoming video signal and affect the luminance.
System designers generally address these issues by adding
external buffers to add gain and increase drive capability.
Video multiplexing can be simplified by using high speed video
amplifiers with a disable/enable function (sometimes called power-
down). When the amplifier is disabled, its output stage goes into
a high impedance state, allowing several amplifier outputs to be
wired together. High speed video op amps have all the key features
required to make them ideal for this function. Their high input
impedance does not affect the characteristic impedance of the
transmission line, thus allowing back termination. They also have
inherently good video specifications, including differential gain and
phase, slew rate, bandwidth, and 0.1 dB flatness.
Each channel of the ADA4830-2 is a high speed difference
amplifier circuit that eliminates common-mode noise and phase
noise caused by ground potential differences between the incoming
video signal and the receiver. The ADA4830-2 also offers integrated
short-to-battery protection and heightened ESD tolerance in a
small foot print. The fault detection output (the STB pins) of the
ADA4830-2 allows for proactive wire diagnostics when connected
to a microcontroller or video decoder and are used to generate
an interrupt during a fault condition.

DRIVING CAPACITIVE LOADS
The ADA4830-1 and ADA4830-2 are capable of driving large
capacitive loads while maintaining its rated performance.
Several performance curves vs. capacitive load are shown in
Figure 12 and Figure 25. Capacitive loads interact with an op amps
output impedance to create an extra delay in the feedback path.
This reduces circuit stability and can cause unwanted ringing
and oscillation.
The capacitive load drive of the ADA4830-1and ADA4830-2 can
be increased by adding a low valued resistor, R
S
, in series with the
capacitive load. Figure 35 shows the test circuit.

Test Circuit
Introducing a series resistor tends to isolate the capacitive load
from the feedback loop, thereby diminishing its influence. One
drawback to this approach is a slight loss of signal amplitude.
Figure 36 shows the effects of a series resistor on the capacitive
drive. For very large capacitive loads, the frequency response of
the amplifier is dominated by the roll-off of the series resistor
and capacitive load.

Another method of reducing the resonant peaking caused by
driving large capacitive loads at the output of the ADA4830-1
and ADA4830-2 is with the use of a R-C shunt circuit or a snubber
circuit. This method acts to resistively load the amplifier output,
thus reducing frequency response peaking. One drawback to this
approach is a slight loss of signal bandwidth. Figure 37 shows a
simple circuit representation of the implementation of the R-C
snubber circuit with R
