Differential Input Signal Swing

The differential input swing is limited to about

±6V by an

ESD protection device connected between the inputs. In

normal operation, the differential voltage between the

input pins is small, so this clamp has no effect. In the

disabled mode however, the differential swing can be the

same as the input swing, and the clamp voltage will set the

maximum allowable input voltage.

of the disabled amplifier, but in this case it only causes a

1.2% gain error. The gain error can be eliminated by

configuring each amplifier as a unity-gain follower. The

switching time between channels is 100ns when both

EN A and EN B are driven.

2-Input RGB MUX Cable Driver Demonstration Board

A complete 2-input RGB MUX has been fabricated on PC

Demo Board #039A. The board incorporates two LT1260s

with outputs summed through 75

Ω back termination

resistors as shown in the schematic. There are several

things to note about Demo Board #039A:

1. The feedback resistors of the disabled LT1260 load

the enabled amplifier and cause a small (1% to 2%)

Configure the amplifiers as unity-gain followers to

eliminate this error.

2. The feedback node has minimum trace length connect-

sides of the board to minimize stray capacitance.
