ADV3226ACPZ - 750 MHz 16x16 Analog Crosspoint | Analog Devices
MPN: ADV3226ACPZ ✓ ActiveADV3226ACPZ Overview
An analog crosspoint switch is a matrix of independently controlled signal paths that routes one input to one output without changing the signal type. Within the semiconductor hierarchy, it belongs to the switch and multiplexer family, then to interface ICs, and finally to broader signal-path and semiconductor devices. The ADV3226 is intended for systems requiring many high-speed analog connections to be changed rapidly while preserving signal integrity.
The principal features include a 16 × 16 nonblocking switch array, greater-than-750 MHz −3 dB bandwidth, less-than-20 ns switching time with 1% settling, and buffered inputs. Programmable high-impedance outputs allow unused channels to be isolated, while the output amplifiers provide unity gain. The device is designed for dual ±5 V operation and includes complete buffered input and output circuitry on one integrated circuit.
Technically, the crosspoint architecture allows any input to be connected to an output while maintaining nonblocking operation. Its unity-gain output stage is suited to routing video or other wideband analog signals without intentional amplification. The ±5 V supply arrangement provides headroom for bipolar signal swings, while 150 ohm load drive capability supports practical downstream circuits. According to the Analog Devices product page, typical power consumption is 1.3 W.
Typical uses include video routing, telecommunications test systems, professional video equipment, video monitoring systems, and high-speed analog test infrastructure. The 750 MHz bandwidth is appropriate for high-definition and related wideband video paths, while the sub-20 ns switching specification supports fast source selection. In these systems, the device can consolidate multiple video connections behind a controlled crosspoint rather than requiring a separate external switch per route.
Designers must provide clean +5 V and −5 V rails, decouple both supplies close to the device, and preserve controlled-impedance routing around the 100-pin package. Output loading, return paths, grounding, and thermal performance require attention because the matrix can dissipate approximately 1.3 W under the stated operating conditions. The manufacturer datasheet should be used for the complete pin assignment, control protocol, and recommended layout.
This page consolidates the verified manufacturer and distributor information, distinguishes the ADV3226 from related devices, and adds practical application, comparison, sourcing, and design guidance. It also makes missing electrical and pin-level details explicit rather than estimating unverified values.

Typical Applications
ADV3226ACPZ is suitable for 6 applications: Professional Video Routing, Telecommunications Signal Routing, Video Monitoring Systems, Video Test and Measurement, Broadcast and Studio Signal Selection, Industrial Wideband Signal Routing.
Professional Video Routing
The ADV3226ACPZ is well suited to professional video routing because its 16 × 16 nonblocking matrix provides greater-than-750 MHz −3 dB bandwidth and less-than-20 ns switching to 1% settling. Its buffered inputs and 16 unity-gain output amplifiers allow multiple video sources to be connected to outputs without introducing a second gain stage. The circuit operates from ±5 V and drives 150 ohm loads, making it appropriate for balanced video infrastructure, provided the board uses controlled-impedance routing and proper return paths. One practical advantage over the +2 gain ADV3227ACPZ is that ADV3226ACPZ preserves signal amplitude, which simplifies headroom planning at ADCs, receivers, and downstream monitoring circuits.
Recommended
Telecommunications Signal Routing
The ADV3226ACPZ can route wideband analog signals in telecommunications equipment because its 16 × 16 architecture is nonblocking and operates at bandwidth greater than 750 MHz. The less-than-20 ns channel-switching specification permits rapid selection among 16 inputs and 16 outputs, while programmable high-impedance outputs help isolate inactive paths. With ±5 V supplies, 150 ohm load drive, and 1.3 W power consumption, it provides a consolidated routing function for line-card or test-system signal paths. Designers should account for insertion loss, crosstalk, return-path discontinuities, and channel settling in the complete interconnect rather than relying only on the nominal 1% settling specification.
Recommended
Video Monitoring Systems
ADV3226ACPZ supports multi-camera and multi-display monitoring architectures by placing a 16 × 16 crosspoint between source and destination paths. Its greater-than-750 MHz bandwidth accommodates high-speed video signals, and the nonblocking array allows independent routing decisions rather than requiring every source to wait for a shared bus. The +1 output gain preserves source amplitude, reducing the need for downstream attenuation and helping maintain headroom in ADC front ends. For a monitoring system, use short controlled-impedance routes, solid ground references, and local supply decoupling around the 100-lead LFCSP-VQ package to prevent routing artifacts from appearing across many simultaneously selected channels.
Recommended
Video Test and Measurement
The ADV3226ACPZ is useful in video test systems that need to connect numerous sources to instrumentation under software control. Its 16 × 16 nonblocking matrix and less-than-20 ns switching to 1% settling permit rapid route changes, while the greater-than-750 MHz bandwidth preserves wideband video content. Buffered inputs, programmable high-impedance outputs, and unity-gain output amplifiers support predictable source isolation and amplitude control. The device should be mounted on a multilayer board with short high-speed paths, uninterrupted reference planes, and carefully placed decoupling. Because its stated power consumption is 1.3 W, thermal analysis should include the number of active channels and the ambient temperature around the 12 × 12 mm package.
Recommended
Broadcast and Studio Signal Selection
ADV3226ACPZ can serve as a centralized analog routing matrix in broadcast and studio equipment where multiple video feeds must reach different processing chains. Its 16 inputs and 16 outputs provide a useful routing granularity, while the nonblocking switch structure supports simultaneous independent paths. The unity-gain outputs avoid doubling source amplitudes, which can simplify mixing, conversion, and monitoring gain budgets. Compared with discrete relay banks, the less-than-20 ns switching specification offers faster path selection. Board implementation still requires careful video impedance continuity, connector launches, ground references, and shielding from high-current power circuitry to preserve signal quality at the stated greater-than-750 MHz bandwidth.
Recommended
Industrial Wideband Signal Routing
The ADV3226ACPZ can be evaluated for industrial instrumentation that routes wideband analog measurements among test channels. Its 16 × 16 nonblocking architecture gives operators or automated controllers flexible channel selection, and the 750 MHz bandwidth is substantially above many low-frequency industrial sensor systems. Less-than-20 ns switching permits rapid test-sequence changes, while unity gain reduces the need to recalibrate signal amplitudes between the source and acquisition equipment. The ±5 V requirement, 100-lead LFCSP-VQ footprint, and 1.3 W power level demand careful supply planning and thermal design. Industrial qualification status beyond the verified −40°C to +85°C operating range should be confirmed separately before safety-critical deployment.

Design Notes
Use a multilayer PCB with a continuous ground plane and controlled-impedance routing for every high-speed input and output. Keep the 100-lead LFCSP-VQ footprint within the manufacturer's recommended land pattern, provide local +5 V and −5 V decoupling capacitors close to the supply pins, and avoid routing video paths through power-regulator or digital-switching areas. The greater-than-750 MHz bandwidth makes via stubs and discontinuities capable of degrading edge response even if the IC itself operates correctly.
Plan the dual-rail supply network around the stated 1.3 W device power and the dynamic current caused by signal switching. Decouple the +5 V and −5 V rails independently, provide a low-impedance return path for each supply, and verify voltage ripple at the device under the intended channel pattern. Because no verified electrolytic-capacitor values or exact pin numbers were provided in the source data, component selection should follow the manufacturer datasheet and layout guidance.
Preserve return continuity beneath every routed channel and use matching terminations consistent with the source and destination impedances. The device can drive 150 ohm loads, but output amplitude, bandwidth, and settling depend on the complete source-to-load path. Confirm off-state isolation, crosstalk, insertion loss, and channel-to-channel skew on the assembled PCB because the verified source only specifies 80 dB off-state isolation and the nominal less-than-20 ns switching time.
Conduct thermal analysis with the measured or datasheet-derived power dissipation rather than assuming that a 12 × 12 mm package independently removes all 1.3 W. The exposed-package construction requires thermal vias and an adequate copper area according to the manufacturer layout guidance, while airflow and enclosure temperature must be considered in dense systems. Verify junction-temperature margins under worst-case signal activity and supply conditions before production release.
