FMS6141CS

Overview

The FMS6141CS is a low-cost, single-channel fourth-order standard definition video filter driver manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor. This integrated circuit is designed to drive external passive components for video signal filtering applications. It operates within the CMOS series and is housed in a PDSO14 package. The device supports standard definition video processing tasks by providing the necessary drive capability for filter networks.

Feature Summary

• Single-channel architecture dedicated to standard definition video signal paths
• Fourth-order filter drive capability for precise signal conditioning
• CMOS technology integration for low-power operation

Applications

• Standard definition video signal processing circuits
• Video filter driver stages in consumer electronics
• Signal conditioning for analog video inputs

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CS' against the official Fairchild or ON Semiconductor datasheet to confirm temperature range and packaging variations. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the PDSO14 package. Cross-reference the manufacturer history as Fairchild's semiconductor assets were acquired by ON Semiconductor; confirm current production status and sourcing channels through authorized distributors.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel solution for standard definition video filtering is required. It serves as a direct replacement for other single-channel filter drivers in the FMS614x family. Consider the fourth-order topology requirements and ensure the external passive component values match the design specifications for the target video frequency response.

Part Context

The FMS6141CS belongs to the FMS614x series of video filter drivers from Fairchild Semiconductor. This series includes multi-channel variants such as the FMS6143 (three-channel) and FMS6146 (six-channel). These devices are commonly used in set-top boxes, DVD players, and other multimedia equipment requiring standard definition video signal integrity.

Replacement Considerations

The FMS6141 is a compatible part number within the same product family. Verify pinout and electrical characteristics before substitution.
