Fairchild Semiconductor Addresses Emerging Trends in Video Design
June 17 2010 - 11:01AM
Business Wire
Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE: FCS), a leading global supplier
of high performance power and mobile products, offers designers
video filter solutions that support the move to higher video
definition, mobile video and new output requirements, while
optimizing system power consumption.
Consumer demand for higher definition is gaining momentum in
set-top box and DVD/Blu-ray platforms, with 1080i high definition
(HD) capability expected to be included in up to 50 percent of
set-top boxes in 2011, according to major set top-box
manufacturers. This demand is driving the need for video filters to
support various combinations of 1080i HD and standard definition
(SD), and Fairchild has developed three new products - FMS6143A,
FMS6363A, and FMS6364A – to meet this need.
The FMS6364A four-channel video filter supports three 1080i HD
channels and one SD channel, making it ideal for cost-effective
video platforms that are eliminating the two SD channels
traditionally reserved for S-video. The FMS6364A joins the existing
FMS6144A four-channel SD video filter in support of this emerging
“sans-S-video” requirement.
For higher-end systems requiring a full complement of
six-channel video, Fairchild’s FMS6363A, a three-channel 1080i HD
video filter, and Fairchild’s FMS6143A, a three-channel SD video
filter IC, can be used in various combinations. This provides mixed
1080i HD with SD or all SD, bringing more flexibility to the
overall design and offers customers a competitive advantage in the
market place.
To embrace energy-conservation concerns, video platform makers
are moving to three volt power supplies. Fairchild supports this
three volt operation with the FMS6143A, FMS6363A, and FMS6364A
products, which complement Fairchild’s other 3 volt-capable video
filters.
The FMS6364A is housed in a 14-pin TSSOP package and the
FMS6363A and FMS6143A each use an 8-pin SOIC package.
These new video filters continue Fairchild’s strategy of
building filter ICs for specific video market trends, and join the
FMS6303 that supports the trend to even higher 1080p HD video and
the tiny FMS6151 to enable video for mobile devices.
