Fairchild Semiconductor Announces Industry's Most Highly Integrated Video Switch Matrix



FMS6501 leads competitors in reducing board space, cost, and time-to-market in standard, progressive scan, and high definition consumer applications

San Jose, Calif.-November 17, 2005-Fairchild Semiconductor's (NYSE: FCS) FMS6501 is the first video switch matrix device offering industry-leading benefits for simplifying designs, speeding time-to-market, and lowering part count and cost in a range of consumer video applications. The FMS6501 integrates analog switch capability, input clamps, bias circuitry and cable drivers into one device for an industry-first combination of critical functionality. Compared to discrete solutions, this integration allows the FMS6501 to reduce board space by 50%. Typical FMS6501 applications include satellite set-top boxes, high definition televisions (HDTV), personal video recorders (PVR), A/V switchers, security equipment, media centers and in-cabin (car) entertainment systems.

Fairchild's FMS6501 video switch matrix offers designers unparalleled ease-of-use and flexibility by providing 12 inputs, each of which may be switched to any of 9 available outputs. It is the only device of its kind able to accommodate standard definition (SD), progressive scan (PS), high definition (HD), and 1080p video signals, while offering selectable 6, 7, 8, or 9dB integrated cable drivers capable of driving dual video loads. In addition to being the lowest power consuming device on the market, the FMS6501 optimizes system power by utilizing a disable feature.

"As the most integrated and lowest power consuming video matrix on the market, the FMS6501 further enhances Fairchild's position as a leader i
