Fairchild Semiconductor has introduced a 4th order, single-channel filter/driver with an 8kV ESD rating and SC70 package option. The new FMS6141’s active filtering approach improves system reliability and image quality compared to passive solutions and also lowers component count by approximately 20 percent to help reduce test time, design time and inventory costs. 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 upon the success of Fairchild’s previously introduced FMS6143, a 3-channel device that set the industry standard as the highest-performance, lowest-cost video filter/driver available. 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.”

In addition to the single-channel FMS6141, Fairchild’s line of high-performance, compact video filter/drivers includes the FMS6143 (3-channel), FMS6145 (5-channel), and the FMS6146 (6-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.
