“Fairchild’s FSAV433 devices are specifically designed to provide seamless switching and minimal signal routing complexity for emerging high-definition LCD systems,” says Jerry Johnston, Fairchild product manager for analog switches.

“The FSAV433 simplifies designs, reduces cost and enhances image quality. By replacing two traditional devices with a single three-port switch, the FSAV433 provides a more cost-effective solution for processing up to three HD video signals from DVDs, Set-Top Boxes, PCs and other remote devices.”

Key features of the FSAV433 3:1 video switch include:

• Low differential gain: 0.2%, typical;

• Low differential phase: 0.1 degree, typical;

• Ultra-low power consumption: less than 1 µA;

• Excellent Off Isolation: less than 75 dB;

• Superior crosstalk characteristics: -85 dB;

• Low On Resistance: 6.5 Ohms, typical.

Designed with full application flexibility in mind, the FSAV433 comes in a choice of 20-pin TSSOP (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package) or ultra-compact 20-terminal DQFN configurations. For space-limited designs, DQFN (Depopulated Quad very thin Flat pack No leads) is 75% smaller than TSSOP devices, runs cooler and generates lower noise and crosstalk between I/O terminals due to DQFN’s lower capacitance and inductance.

The lead (Pb)-free FSAV433 meets or exceeds the requirements of the joint IPC/JEDEC standard J-STD-020B and is compliant with European Union requirements now in effect.
