FMS6690 / FMS6246 / FMS6346 Family Expands Fairchild's Leadership
Position While Providing Flexibility for Space and Cost Savings for
Digital Set-Top Boxes Reinforcing its position as the number one
supplier of integrated video filter/drivers for the digital set-top
box market, Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE:FCS) announces a family
of video filter/drivers with the best combination of filtering
flexibility, allowing designers to maintain high performance in the
video signal path while optimizing system cost. With selectable
standard definition (SD), progressive scan (PS) and high-definition
(HD) filtering capability, this video filter/driver family allows
designers to tailor the right combination of two filter frequencies
to their specific design requirements. These highly integrated
video filter/drivers were designed as an alternative to discrete
solutions by replacing passive LC filters and drivers for board
space savings of up to 50%. In addition to set-top boxes, these
devices are ideal for use in DVDs, digital TVs and other consumer
video products. Fairchild's FMS6690 / FMS6246 / FMS6346 family of
6-channel, 6th order video filter/drivers stands apart from
competitive devices by allowing designers to select the combination
of SD/PS/HD filters best suited to their system needs. These
devices offer higher levels of integration than previously
achievable by manufacturers requiring composite-video, S-video and
component-video (YPbPr, YUV, RGB). To save space, each device
integrates selectable filters, input clamps and fixed gain (6dB)
output drivers into a single TSSOP package. They also reduce space
by offering the choice of AC- or DC-coupled inputs and outputs,
since DC-coupled outputs eliminate the need for large AC-coupling
capacitors. "Consumer video applications require space efficiency,
high performance and design ease to speed time-to-market and assure
system reliability," said Jeremy Tole, Fairchild's product
marketing manager for Video Products. "Fairchild's new video filter
family offers video designers the most design options available
compared to discrete or similar solutions that require more space
to achieve the same performance as one 20-pin TSSOP. For instance,
all six channels on each device achieve reliable, consistent
performance, as opposed to discrete filter channels that can vary
with RLC tolerance. Additionally, by offering 12kV of ESD
protection, the customer is able to remove twelve ESD diodes." Each
one of the video filter/drivers in the family offers a range of
device options for designers to choose from: -- FMS6690 offers
three channels with fixed 8MHz filters and three that are
selectable between PS and HD (15MHz / 32MHz), ideal for
high-definition television (HDTV) applications; -- FMS6246 offers
three channels with fixed 8MHz filters and three that are
selectable between SD and PS (8MHz / 15MHz), targeting DVD players;
and -- FMS6346 offers three channels with fixed 8MHz filters and
three that are selectable between SD and PS (8MHz / 32MHz), best
suited to set-top box designs. FMS6690 / FMS6246 / FMS6346 come in
lead (Pb)-free 20-pin TSSOP packages. These products meet or exceed
the requirements of the joint IPC/JEDEC standard J-STD-020B and are
compliant with the European Union requirements now in effect. -0-
