Fairchild Semiconductor's New 800 MHz Video Switch Allows Full Design Flexibility for High-Resolution Displays
FSAV430's Excellent OFF Isolation Prevents Ghosting in
High-Resolution Applications
SOUTH PORTLAND, Maine—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Sept. 22, 2004—
Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE:FCS), one of the largest suppliers
of analog switch solutions, announces the FSAV430, a high-performance
Quad SPDT (2-to-1 multiplexer/demultiplexer) video switch. Its
ultra-wide 800 MHz (-3 dB) bandwidth allows full design flexibility
while maintaining absolute signal fidelity. The FSAV430's low-power
(less than 1microA) operation reduces power consumption in LCD
monitors and portables, and its excellent OFF isolation (-75dB)
eliminates annoying monitor ghosting effects. The switch's low
differential gain and phase maintain stable color saturation and hue
consistency over the full range of brightness levels. In slim DVD
designs for video output connection sharing, the FSAV430 is ideal for
emerging high-resolution video applications including HDTV and UXGA
monitors.
"The FSAV430 device addresses designers' specific challenges in
high-resolution video applications," said Jerry Johnston, Fairchild
product manager for analog switches. "The combination of wide
bandwidth, excellent OFF isolation and low differential gain offers
superb high-resolution performance for portable designs and
space-constrained applications requiring small package size and low
power consumption."
Fairchild's FSAV430 is designed specifically for switching
high-definition YPbPr and computer RGB (up to UXGA) signals in LCD
televisions and monitors. This video switch comes in a choice of
ultra-compact DQFN packaging as well as traditional TSSOP (Thin Shrink
Small Outline Package) and QSOP (Quarter Size Outline Package)
configurations. For space-constrained designs, DQFN (Depopulated Quad
very thin Flat pack No leads) offers a 75% space savings over TSSOP
devices, as well as other important design benefits. For example,
noise and crosstalk are reduced to a greater degree between I/O
terminals due to the lower capacitance and inductance of the DQFN
package, which also runs cooler than leaded package types due to the
former's exposed die attach paddle underneath.
Fairchild Semiconductor offers a comprehensive selection for
display applications. These components include power MOSFETs, diodes,
data converters, amplifiers, LEDs, LED drivers, LCD backlight Inverter
Drive ICs, FPS, LVDS, and LDOs.
These lead-free (Pb-free) products meet or exceed the requirements
of the joint IPC/JEDEC standard J-STD-020B and are compliant with
European Union requirements that will take effect in 2005.
Price: $1.50 each (1000 pcs) for all package
configurations
Availability: Engineering samples, now; production volume,
October 2004
