GENERAL DESCRIPTION 
The AD8175 is a high speed, triple 16 × 9 video crosspoint 
switch matrix. It supports 1600 × 1200 RGB displays @ 85 Hz 
refresh rate, by offering a 500 MHz bandwidth and a slew rate 
of 1800 V/µs. With −88 dB of crosstalk and −94 dB isolation  
(@ 5 MHz), the AD8175 is useful in many high speed video 
applications. 
The AD8175 supports two modes of operation: differential-in 
to differential-out mode with sync-on CM signaling passed 
through the switch and differential-in to differential-out mode 
with CM signaling removed through the switch. The output 
CM and black level can be conveniently set via external pins. 
The independent output buffers of the AD8175 can be placed 
into a high impedance state to create larger arrays by paralleling 
crosspoint outputs. Inputs can be paralleled as well. The 
AD8175 offers both serial and parallel programming modes. 
The AD8175 is packaged in a fully-populated 26 × 26 ball 
PBGA package and is available over the extended industrial 
temperature range of −40°C to +85°C.
