Fairchild Semiconductor Introduces Single-Channel Video Filter/Driver to Improve Performance and Reduce System Cost in Video Applications.Expanded Industry-Leading Video Filter/Driver Product Line Offers Designers Cost-Effective Single-Channel Option SOUTH PORTLAND, Maine South Portland is a city in Cumberland County, Maine, United States. As of the 2000 census, the city population was 23,324. Geography South Portland is located at (43.631549, -70.272724)GR1. -- Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :FCS FCS - Frame Check Sequence ), the industry's largest supplier of highly integrated video filter/drivers, now offers a 4th order, single-channel filter/driver with an 8kV ESD (1) (Electronic Software Distribution) Distributing new software and upgrades via the network rather than individual installations on each machine. See ESL. rating and SC70 package option. The new FMS FMS - Flexible Manufacturing System (factory automation). 6141's active filtering approach improves system reliability and image quality compared to passive solutions and also lowers component count by approximately 20 percent to help reduce test time, design time and inventory costs. The FMS6141 is ideal for applications that require single-channel video filtering and driving such as portable DVD players and printers for digital still cameras. "Fairchild's single-channel FMS6141 offers designers a smaller-footprint option than discrete solutions or higher-channel-count video filter/drivers while providing robust 8kV ESD protection and excellent image quality," said Bill Boldt, Fairchild's senior marketing manager for Signal Conditioning Imagine feeding the output of a temperature sensor, which is in millivolts, to an Analog-to-digital converter to be processed. Is it possible for the Analog-to-Digital converter to process such a minute voltage amplitude? The answer is probably no. Products. "The FMS6141 builds upon the success of Fairchild's previously introduced FMS6143, a 3-channel device that set the industry standard as the highest-performance, lowest-cost video filter/driver available. By adding the single-channel FMS6141 to its video filter/driver family, Fairchild offers designers the flexibility to target a wide range of applications from consumer to automotive." Key benefits of the FMS6141 include: * Image quality--As a 4th order video filter/driver the FMS6141 replaces 2nd or 3rd order passive devices typically used in digital consumer applications. This approach provides better inband and stopband A stopband is a band of frequencies, between specified limits, in which a circuit, such as a filter or telephone circuit, does not let signals through. Frequencies between the lower and upper limits are not transmitted. filtering to reduce artifacts artifacts see specimen artifacts. in video signals and enhance image quality; * Versatility--Featuring an 8MHz (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. cut-off frequency and 48dB of stopband attenuation Loss of signal power in a transmission. Attenuation The reduction in level of a transmitted quantity as a function of a parameter, usually distance. It is applied mainly to acoustic or electromagnetic waves and is expressed as the ratio of power densities. , the FMS6141 meets standard definition (SD) video requirements and is flexible enough for use as an anti-aliasing or reconstruction video-out filter/driver. Its internal diode clamps and bias circuitry accommodate both AC- or DC-coupled input signals; * Space savings--The FMS6141's high level of integration and tiny SC70 package option reduce board space compared to typical solutions. By driving either AC- or DC-coupled single (150 Ohm) or dual (75 Ohm) coaxial cable loads it eliminates the need for expensive output coupling capacitors; and * Reliability--By providing built-in 8kV ESD protection the FMS6141 increases reliability while lowering component count compared to discrete designs that require external ESD-protection diodes. In addition to the single-channel FMS6141, Fairchild's line of high-performance, compact video filter/drivers includes the FMS6143 (3-channel), FMS6145 (5-channel), and the FMS6146 (6-channel) devices.
