EVALUATION KIT CONTENTS
AD8174-EB evaluation board
EQUIPMENT NEEDED
Signal source or video pattern generator and signal analyzer
Power supplies (+2 V/1 A and ±5 V/1 A)
SMA to BNC cables for inputs, outputs, and other pins
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8174 is a high speed buffered multiplexer that offers an
internal current feedback output amplifier whose gain is
programmed via external resistors and is capable of delivering
50 mA of output current. The AD8174 offers −3 dB signal
bandwidth of 250 MHz and a slew rate greater than 1000 V/μs.
The AD8174 has excellent video specifications with low
differential gain of 0.02%, low differential phase error of 0.05°,
and 0.1 dB flatness out to 85 MHz. With a low −78 dB at 5 MHz
of crosstalk and better than −88 dB at 5 MHz isolation, the
AD8174 is useful in many high speed applications. It is also a
low power device consuming only 9.7 mA from a ±5 V supply.
The AD8174 offers a high speed disable feature that allows the
user to put the output into a high impedance state for cascading
stages so that the off channels do not load the output bus. In
addition, the AD8174 can be shut down when not in use to
minimize power consumption (IS = 1.5 mA). The AD8174 is
available in 14-lead PDIP and 14-lead SOIC packages.
Full details about the device are available in the AD8174 data
sheet, which should be consulted when using the AD8174-EB.

EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE
INTRODUCTION
The AD8174-EB evaluation board allows the user to easily
evaluate the AD8174 in its various gain configurations. Figure 2
shows the typical evaluation board setup used to evaluate the
buffered multiplexer.
POWER SUPPLY
The AD8174-EB requires a typical ±5 V power supply to power
up the device via the +VS and −VS pins.
ANALOG INPUTS
The AD8174-EB has four input channels: IN0, IN1, IN2, and
IN3. The input channels are activated by varying the voltage
level of the digital control pins, A0 and A1. To make the digital
control pins (A0 and A1) logic high, supply a minimum input of
2 V. To make the digital control pins (A0 and A1) logic low,
supply a maximum input of 0.8 V. Table 1 shows the truth table
for setting the inputs.
By default, all inputs are terminated with 75 Ω resistors in order
to receive video signals. To use the evaluation board in nonvideo
applications where 50 Ω termination is more popular, replace
these resistors with 50 Ω values. Digital control pins, such as A0
and A1, are terminated with 50 Ω resistors to allow easy
connection to laboratory equipment. Tie any unused input
channels to ground.
ANALOG OUTPUT
The AD8174-EB has only one output (OUT) that can be put
into a high impedance state for cascading stages by setting the
ENABLE pin (see Table 1). OUT is terminated by default with a
75 Ω resistor.
By default, the gain of the output amplifier is set to +2, but
other gain configurations can be set by replacing the two gain
resistors. Table 2 shows the recommended resistor values for
gain settings.
SHUTDOWN (SD) AND ENABLE PINS
The SD pin, if set to high, shuts off the supply current for all the
switches, some of the logic control circuitry, and the amplifier,
reducing the quiescent current drain to 1.5 mA.
The ENABLE pin, if set to high, shuts off the supply current of
the amplifier, making the output of the amplifier into a high
impedance that allows the AD8174-EB to be used in larger
arrays.
Both the ENABLE and SD pins are terminated with 50 Ω
resistors to allow easy connection to laboratory equipment. If the
ENABLE and SD functions are not used, tie these respective
pins to ground for proper operation.
