Intersil Introduces Revolutionary HDTV Video Sync Separator; The ISL59885 Automatically Calibrates Itself to Adapt to the Timing for Any TV or PC Graphics Standards.MILPITAS, Calif. -- Intersil Corporation (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :ISIL ISIL International Society for Individual Liberty ISIL Interim Support Items List ISIL Intelligence Systems Integration Laboratory (Ft. Huachuca, Arizona; US Army facility for integrating intelligence systems) ), a world leader in the design and manufacture of high performance analog solutions, today announced the release of the ISL ISL - Interface Specification Language. Xerox PARC. Interface description language used by the ILU (Inter-Language Unification) system. Includes descriptions of multiple inheritance, exceptions and garbage collection. E-mail: Bill Janssen <janssen@parc.xerox.com>. 59885, a new sync separator that extracts sync timing information from both standard and non-standard video inputs. This timing information is critical to the detection and alignment of different formats on a screen. The ISL59885 provides support for HDTV (High Definition TV) A set of digital television (DTV) standards that offer the highest resolution and sharpest picture. Although some HDTV sets are available in standard (rather square) screen sizes, the overwhelming majority of sets are wide screen, which eliminates and standard definition formats. The ISL59885 provides composite sync, horizontal sync See horizontal scan frequency. and vertical sync outputs. It requires no external programming or set resistors. This allows maximum system flexibility since it does not require an external microprocessor or manual configuration. Additionally, high definition video is flagged by the HD pin going low when the input horizontal frequency is greater than 20KHz. "Existing sync separator architectures require significant involvement of the rest of the system to adjust the timing based on the incoming line rate," said Sameer Vuyyuru, Intersil's director for High Speed Analog. "Our new ISL59885 eliminates that requirement by using a revolutionary frequency to current converter that auto calibrates the timing of the device. The device also includes a system power saving feature called HD Detect that allows the system designer to control the scaler parameters." For the first time, TV and display equipment suppliers have the option to use a single sync processing path that is robust over temperature and tolerant of the variations in broadcast, video and graphics standards worldwide. ISL59885 Technical Summary Features --NTSC, PAL, SECAM (SEquential Couleur Avec Memoire, Sequential Color with Memory) A color TV standard from France that was officially introduced in 1967. Although development began in 1956, it took time to convert from the earlier French 819-line system. , HDTV, non-standard video support --No external set resistors --Single 3V to 5V supply --Fixed 70mV slicing of video input levels --Composite sync output --Vertical sync output --Horizontal sync output Pricing and Availability ISL59885 is available now in an 8-ld SO lead-free finish (RoHS compliant). The suggested resale price in 1000 unit quantities is $1.85.
