GT4123BCDA

Overview

The GT4123BCDA is a monolithic dual-channel video multiplier manufactured by Gennum. It serves as a low-power variant of the GT4123 and GT4123A series, designed for broadcast and multimedia applications. The device operates from ±5 V supply voltages and typically draws only 15 mA of current. It functions as a two-quadrant analog multiplier housed in an 8-pin DIP package.

Feature Summary

• Monolithic dual-channel architecture for integrated signal processing
• Low power consumption design suitable for energy-efficient systems
• Optimized for video signal multiplication tasks

Applications

• Broadcast equipment signal processing
• Multimedia system integration
• Analog video calculation circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix BCDA to confirm the low-power characteristic and ±5 V operation requirements. Ensure compatibility with existing ±5 V power rails in the target circuit design before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-channel video multiplication is required with strict power constraints. Compare against standard GT4123 variants if higher current tolerance or different voltage ranges are needed for the application.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Gennum GT4123 family of analog multipliers. It shares functional similarities with the GT4123 and GT4123A but distinguishes itself through reduced power draw, making it suitable for applications where thermal management or battery life is a priority.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the GT4123 and GT4123A, though these may have higher power consumption profiles. Verify pinout and electrical specifications carefully when swapping between these family members.
