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.
The FMS6141 is ideal for applications that require single-channel video filtering and driving such as portable DVD players and printers for digital still cameras.
"Fairchild's single-channel FMS6141 offers designers a smaller-footprint option than discrete solutions or higher-channel-count video filter/drivers while providing robust 8kV ESD protection and excellent image quality", said Bill Boldt, Fairchild's Senior Marketing Manager for Signal Conditioning Products.
"The FMS6141 builds on the success of Fairchild's previously introduced FMS6143, a three-channel device that set the industry standard as the highest-performance, lowest-cost video filter/driver available".

PLL clock drivers target high-speed clocking
Two low voltage PLL clock drivers designed for use in high-speed memory clocking applications are now available from Fairchild Semiconductor.
"By adding the single-channel FMS6141 to its video filter/driver family, Fairchild offers designers the flexibility to target a wide range of applications from consumer to automotive".
As a 4th-order video filter/driver the FMS6141 replaces 2nd- or 3rd-order passive devices typically used in digital consumer applications.
This approach provides better inband and stopband filtering to reduce artefacts in video signals and enhance image quality.
Featuring an 8MHz cutoff frequency and 48dB of stopband attenuation, the FMS6141 meets standard definition (SD) video requirements and is flexible enough for use as an anti-aliasing or reconstruction video-out filter/driver.
Its internal diode clamps and bias circuitry accommodate both AC- or DC-coupled input signals.
The FMS6141's high level of integration and tiny SC70 package option reduce board space compared with typical solutions.
By driving either AC- or DC-coupled single (150ohm) or dual (75ohm) coaxial cable loads it eliminates the need for expensive output coupling capacitors.
And by providing built-in 8kV ESD protection the FMS6141 increases reliability while lowering component count compared with discrete designs that require external ESD-protection diodes.
In addition to the single-channel FMS6141, Fairchild's line of high-performance, compact video filter/drivers includes the FMS6143 (three-channel), FMS6145 (five-channel), and the FMS6146 (six-channel) devices.
The FMS6141 is available in SC70-5 or SOIC-8 packages.
This lead (Pb)-free device meets or exceeds the requirements of the joint IPC/JEDEC standard J-STD-020C and is compliant with European Union regulations now in effect.
