Mindspeed introduces low power 3G broadcast video cable driver
September 11, 2006
Technologies, a supplier of semiconductor solutions for network infrastructure applications, announced an extension of its 3G broadcast video product family with the industry's lowest-power video cable driver offering standard definition (SD), high-definition/standard definition (HD/SD) and 3G (2xHD) video support.
The M21428 video cable driver is the only dual-differential output cable driver available in the market today and the first to support 2.5V operation in addition to legacy 3.3V. The differential outputs eliminate the need for two discrete external cable drivers, reducing system cost and simplifying design.
The new low-power, dual output cable driver offers broadcast video equipment customers greater flexibility in designing applications such as routing switchers, distribution amplifiers, video tape recorders, post production equipment and cameras as well as other broadcast video applications.
"Our new 3G video cable driver combined with our existing 3G-ready crosspoint switch products and our industry-first 3G multi-rate reclocker is the next step toward enabling our customers the ability to build a single multi-use SD/HD/3G system," said Jeff Camillo, marketing manager for Mindspeed. "We are committed to offering our customers the most comprehensive line of broadcast video products available."
The M21428 video cable driver is packaged in a new high-performance micro lead frame (MLF) RoHS (green) compliant package that simplifies circuit board layout and reduces footprint requirements.
