Elantec Introduces Industry's First Integrated DC-restore and Sync-separator IC; New EL4501C Streamlines Video Circuit Design by Integrating Common Input Components.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 9, 2002 Elantec Semiconductor, Inc. (Nasdaq:ELNT), a leader in high-performance analog ICs, today introduced the industry's first integrated DC-restore and sync-separator IC combining two functions that are usually provided by separate ICs. With 100MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. bandwidth, the EL4501C is designed for input interface applications where it processes the video signal and extracts timing information, making it ready for further video processing Video processing techniques are used in video codecs, video players and other devices. For example—commonly only design and video processing is different in TV sets of different manufactures. . The EL4501C also includes a data-slice function for extracting embedded data information in the video signal. Applications include high-volume consumer products, as well as professional equipment, security video, data extraction Data extraction is the act or process of retrieving (binary) data out of (usually unstructured or badly structured) data sources for further data processing or data storage (data migration). and video effects See digital video effects. equipment. The EL4501C operates from a single 5V supply, features inputs that go to GND GND Ground GND GIG (Global Information Grid) Network Defense GND System Ground GND Circuit Reference (Zero) Voltage Level GND St Georges/Grenada, Grenada - Pt Saline (Airport Code) , and has rail-to-rail output capability. Michael Jennings Michael Jennings (born September 9 1977 in Preston, England) is a professional boxer, fighting out of the town of Chorley in Lancashire. Jennings turned pro in May of 1999, fighting club-level opposition until roughly 2003, when he defeated Jimmy Gould for the minor WBU , director of Strategic Marketing for Video and Amplifier Products at Elantec, said, "Separate DC-restore and sync-separator video functions are normally purchased in combination. By integrating them, Elantec can now offer our customers a board area saving and a reduced cost for this important video function. The specifications of the EL4501C make it ideal for high volume applications that require single 5V-supply operation. The new sync separator used in the EL4501C has been optimized specifically for applications such as consumer electronics where the quality of the incoming signal is not as clean as in professional applications." The EL4501C is available in sample quantities now. It comes in a 24-pin TSSOP TSSOP Thin Shrink Small Outline Package TSSOP Thin Scale Small Outline Package package and is priced at $4.50 in 1,000-unit quantities.
