ML6416CS

Overview

The ML6416CS is a dual Y/C 4th-order Butterworth lowpass video filter IC from Fairchild Semiconductor, housed in an 8-SOIC package. It operates on a supply voltage of 4.5V to 5.5V and features a cutoff frequency of 7.1MHz. The device is optimized for minimum overshoot and flat group delay, containing a summing amplifier for composite output generation.

Feature Summary

• Dual Y/C filtering with integrated summing capability
• Optimized for minimum overshoot and flat group delay
• Butterworth lowpass response characteristics

Applications

• S-Video signal processing
• Video filter circuits requiring group delay compensation
• Systems needing summed composite output generation

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer marking matches Fairchild Semiconductor or ON Semiconductor branding. Confirm the 8-SOIC package dimensions and pinout alignment with the official datasheet. Ensure the component grade meets the required operating temperature range specifications before integration into production assemblies.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing S-Video applications requiring precise Y/C separation with minimal signal distortion. The integrated summing function reduces external component count compared to discrete solutions. Verify that the 7.1MHz cutoff frequency aligns with the specific video bandwidth requirements of the target system design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ML6416 series of active video filters. It serves as a specialized solution for handling luminance and chrominance signals simultaneously. The series includes variants like the ML6428, offering different packaging and functional combinations for versatile video processing needs.

Replacement Considerations

The ML6428CS is a documented alternative within the same family, offering three functions in one IC with a SOIC-16 package. Verify pin compatibility and functional equivalence before substitution.
