The FMS6418A is a highly integrated, triple video driver that is selectable for high definition (HD) or standard definition (SD) signal filtering.
The FMS6418A is 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 digitising the signal (anti-aliasing), or to remove artefacts introduced during D/A conversion in the encoder (reconstruction filtering) for either RGB or YUV signals

Dual-output buffer for DDR SDRAM modules
Fairchild Semiconductor has introduced a dual-output registered buffer for 184-pin, 2.5V PC200/PC266, 72bit-wide registered double data rate (DDR) SDRAM modules.
Bus hold makes logic more predictable
Fairchild Semiconductor has made a number of additions to its LCX family, the logic industry standard for 3.3V applications.
This unique product offers improved performance, flexibility, and lower parts count for advanced video applications, including HDTV monitors, cable and satellite set top boxes, DVD players, personal video recorders (PVRs), video on demand (VoD), and audio/video receivers.
The device has triple 6th 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.
The FMS6418A combines a 2:1 multiplexer on each filter channel, with filtering and output drive amplification on all three channels, to provide a complete video solution.
All channels provide 6dB gain, accept 1V ground referenced inputs, and drive AC coupled loads.
"The FMS6418A is a versatile video filtering solution that can be used in a myriad of applications.
This integrated part offers our customers the ability to reduce cost in their consumer devices", said Jeremy Tole, Fairchild's Technical Marketing Manager for Video Products.
"The FMS6418A expands Fairchild's growing line of video products, further solidifying Fairchild as a leading provider of video filter drivers in the industry".
The FMS6418A video filter is available in a 16-pin SOIC package for additional space and cost savings.
Demo boards are available to illustrate the product's full performance capabilities.
This lead-free (Pb) product meets or exceeds the requirements of the joint IPC/JEDEC standard J-STD-020B and is compliant with the European Union requirements, which will take effect in 2005.
