Fairchild Semiconductor Introduces the Only Single-Chip Video Filter/Driver with Selectable High Definition, Progressive Scan, Standard Definition, Plus 1080p Bypass Mode
Industry's Most Integrated Video Filter in the
Smallest Package Targets HDTV Applications
SAN JOSE, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—March 16, 2005—
Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE:FCS) introduces the FMS6403, the
industry's only video filter selectable for standard definition (SD),
progressive scan (PS) or high definition (HD) standards offering
tri-level sync and a bypass mode that permits passing of 1080p and
HDTV signals. In addition to being the most integrated video filter on
the market, the TSSOP-packaged FMS6403 is also the smallest. Featuring
true 2:1 Mux inputs for YPbPr or RGB inputs and triple 6th order
filters with selectable 30 MHz, 15 MHz or 8 MHz cutoff frequencies,
this device accommodates the full range of worldwide video formats.
The FMS6403 offers designers the advantage of having a single,
space-saving filtering solution that can be used across the entire
spectrum of video applications for DVD players, set-top boxes and
HDTVs.
Fairchild's FMS6403 can be used in two ways. Its most common
function is as an anti-aliasing filter to remove high-frequency noise
prior to A/D conversion in such applications as HDTVs, media centers
and home theater receivers. It can also be used as a reconstruction
filter to remove high-frequency artifacts introduced during D/A
conversion in products like HD/SD set-top boxes and DVD players and
recorders. This performance capability helps designers achieve high
image quality with one compact device.
"Due to its versatility, comprehensive feature set and small size,
Fairchild's single-chip video filter is receiving tremendously
positive reception from industry-leading DVD, set-top box and HDTV
manufacturers," said Jeremy Tole, Fairchild's product marketing
manager for Video Products. "In August 2004, Fairchild introduced the
FMS6407, the industry's first video filter to combine the
functionality of HD, PS and SD filters into one chip. With the
addition of the new FMS6403, Fairchild now offers the most highly
integrated, industry leading solutions for NTSC, PAL, SECAM, HDTV and
1080p requirements, extending its leadership position in integrated
video filtering solutions while supporting the expansion of the
growing HDTV market."
Other important features of the FMS6403 include:
-- Selectable 0 and 6 dB (1 VP-P or 2 VP-P) 75 Ohm cable drivers
-- AC-coupled inputs with DC restore and bias circuitry
-- AC or DC-coupled outputs
-- SD/PS/HD stopband attenuations of 56dB/48dB/40dB
-- 0.4% differential gain and a 0.25 degree differential phase
-- Ability to process (strip) bi-level sync from SD and PS
signals and tri-level sync from HD signals
The FMS6403 is available in a 20-pin TSSOP package. This lead-free
(Pb-free) product meets or exceeds the requirements of the joint
IPC/JEDEC standard J-STD-020B and is compliant with the European Union
requirements now in effect.
