Fairchild Presents New FMS6418A Video Driver

Fairchild Semiconductor International (South Portland, ME) announced the FMS6418A, a highly integrated, triple video driver that is selectable for high definition (HD) or standard definition (SD) signal filtering. The FMS6418A is used to remove high-frequency noise prior to digitizing the signal (anti-aliasing), or to remove artifacts introduced during D/A conversion in the encoder (reconstruction filtering) for either RGB or YUV signals.

The FMS6418A has triple sixth order filters with selectable 30MHz (HD) or 8MHz (SD) frequencies. It also offers -38dB of stopband rejection at 74.25MHz for HD and -55dB at 27MHz for SD applications. The FMS6418A provides performance exceeding that of competitive integrated devices, while offering cost and design advantages over discrete solutions that require multiple components.

Available now, the FMS6418AM16 is priced at $0.84 and the FMS6418AM16X is priced at $0.94, both for 1,000-piece quantities. Delivery is eight weeks for greater than 100,000-unit quantities.
