FMS6141CSX

Overview

The FMS6141CSX is a low-cost, single-channel fourth-order standard definition video filter driver manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor. It integrates an operational amplifier with external passive components to realize active RC filtering for SD video signals. The device supports differential or single-ended input and output configurations, enabling flexible integration into video processing circuits. Designed for standard definition applications, it provides the necessary drive capability to interface with downstream video stages while maintaining signal integrity through precise filter characteristics.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a dedicated operational amplifier optimized for driving fourth-order active RC filters
• Supports both differential and single-ended input/output signal configurations
• Designed specifically for standard definition video signal processing applications

Applications

• Standard definition video filter circuits
• Video signal conditioning and processing
• Active RC filter implementations in video equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation as Fairchild Semiconductor, noting that onsemi acquired Fairchild's semiconductor business. Confirm the specific suffix 'CSX' corresponds to the correct tape-and-reel packaging variant. Ensure the component meets the required standard definition video specifications before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel solution is required for fourth-order standard definition video filtering. It is suitable for designs needing integrated op-amp drive capabilities within the filter stage. Consider the package type and supply chain status regarding the Fairchild-onsemi transition when evaluating alternatives.

Part Context

This part belongs to the FMS614x series of video filter drivers from Fairchild Semiconductor. The series includes multi-channel variants such as the FMS6143 (three-channel) and FMS6146 (six-channel). These devices are designed to simplify the implementation of active filters in standard definition video systems by integrating the necessary amplification stages.

Replacement Considerations

The FMS6141 is functionally similar to other members of the FMS614x family, such as the FMS6143A. Verify pin compatibility and channel count requirements when considering these alternatives.
