ML6426CS2

Overview

The ML6426CS2 is a high-bandwidth triple video filter IC featuring buffered outputs, designed for RGB or YUV signal processing. It integrates three independent fourth-order Butterworth low-pass filters within a single 16-SOIC package. The device provides a -3dB cutoff frequency of 12MHz, ensuring precise signal filtering for video applications. Each filter channel includes an output buffer to maintain signal integrity and drive subsequent stages effectively. This component is engineered for stability and performance in analog video signal chains.

Feature Summary

• Integrates three independent fourth-order Butterworth low-pass filters
• Features buffered outputs for improved signal driving capability
• Designed specifically for high-bandwidth RGB and YUV video applications

Applications

• RGB video signal processing circuits
• YUV video format filtering systems
• Analog video front-end conditioning

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer part number ML6426CS2 against official Fairchild Semiconductor documentation to confirm authenticity. Ensure the 16-SOIC package type matches the design requirements. Check for obsolescence status as Fairchild has been acquired by onsemi, which may affect long-term supply availability and datasheet references.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact solution for triple-channel video filtering is required. The integrated buffered outputs simplify PCB layout by reducing loading effects on the filter stages. Consider the 12MHz bandwidth limit relative to the specific video resolution and color space requirements of the target application.

Part Context

This part belongs to the family of active video filters produced by Fairchild Semiconductor. It addresses the need for multi-channel signal conditioning in consumer electronics and professional video equipment. The integration of three filters into one package reduces board space compared to discrete implementations.

Replacement Considerations

Consult onsemi official cross-reference lists for direct replacements due to the acquisition of Fairchild Semiconductor. Verify pin compatibility and electrical specifications before substituting with other video filter ICs.
