FMS6418AMTC14

Video Processing Overview

The FMS6418AMTC14 is a triple video driver featuring selectable high-definition or standard-definition video filters for RGB, YUV, and YPbPr signals. It integrates three sixth-order filters with selectable cutoff frequencies of 32MHz or 8MHz to perform anti-aliasing or reconstruction filtering. The device provides DC-coupled inputs and AC-coupled outputs capable of driving 150Ω loads with 6dB gain. Key performance metrics include 0.6% differential gain error, 0.15° differential phase error, and a 36dB/octave roll-off across all channels.

Video Processing Feature Summary

• Integrates triple sixth-order filters with selectable 8MHz or 32MHz cutoff frequencies for SD/HD applications
• Supports YUV, RGB, and YPbPr signal formats with 2:1 multiplexer inputs
• Provides 6dB gain on all outputs while driving AC coupled 150Ω loads

Video Processing Applications

• Cable set-top boxes
• Satellite set-top boxes
• DVD players
• High-definition television displays
• Personal video recorders (PVR)

Video Processing Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'MTC14' corresponds to the TSSOP-14 package variant when sourcing. Confirm lead-free status if required by environmental regulations. Ensure compatibility with DC-coupled input stages and AC-coupled output requirements in the target design. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to confirm parameter stability.

Video Processing Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring integrated filtering and amplification for multiple video channels. The selectable filter frequency allows adaptation to both standard and high-definition signal paths. Verify that the TSSOP-14 package fits the board space constraints. Ensure the system supports the specified differential gain and phase accuracy requirements for video quality.

Video Processing Part Context

This part belongs to Fairchild's FMS6418 series of triple video drivers. Variants such as FMS6418A and FMS6418B share similar functional descriptions but may differ in package types like SOIC-16 or specific electrical tolerances. The MTC14 suffix specifically denotes the thin-shrink small-outline package configuration within this product family.

Video Processing Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other FMS6418 variants such as FMS6418AM16X or FMS6418B, provided the package pinout matches the TSSOP-14 footprint. Verify that alternative parts maintain the same 6th-order filter characteristics and gain specifications.
