system programming that only one output of a wired-OR node
be active at a time.

24 Crosspoint Array Using Nine AD8108s
or AD8109s
At some point, the number of outputs that are wire-ORed be-
comes too great to maintain system performance. T his will vary
according to which system specifications are most important.
For example, a 64
×
8 crosspoint can be created with eight
AD8108/AD8109s. T his design will have 64 separate inputs and
have the corresponding outputs of each device wire-ORed to-
gether in groups of eight.
Using additional crosspoint devices in the design can lower the
number of outputs that have to be wire-ORed together. Figure
45 shows a block diagram of a system using eight AD8108s and
two AD8109s to create a nonblocking, gain-of-two, 64
×
8 cross-
point that restricts the wire-ORing at the output to only four
outputs. T he rank 1 wire-ORed devices are the AD8108,
which has a higher disabled output impedance than the AD8109.

Additionally, by using the lower four outputs from each of the
two Rank 2 AD8109s, a blocking 64
×
16 crosspoint array can
be realized. T here are, however, some drawbacks to this tech-
nique. T he offset voltages of the various cascaded devices will
accumulate and the bandwidth limitations of the devices will
compound. In addition, the extra devices will consume more
current and take up more board space. Once again, the overall
system design specifications will determine how to make the
various tradeoffs.
Multichannel Video
T he excellent video specifications of the AD8108/AD8109 make
them ideal candidates for creating composite video crosspoint
switches. T hese can be made quite dense by taking advantage
of the AD8108/AD8109’s high level of integration and the fact
that composite video requires only one crosspoint channel per
system video channel. T here are, however, other video formats
that can be routed with the AD8108/AD8109 requiring more
than one crosspoint channel per video channel.
