HD Video Frame Buffer for HD Video Equipment  

 
 

HD Video Frame Buffer – Huge design, development advantages for Studio Cameras, Video Switchers, Capture Cards and more!

AverLogic’s powerful AL460 IC is an HD video frame buffer that has important ramifications for the future of the HD Video market.  With more HD video products being planned for the market, the AL460 offers significant cost and time reductions in design and development. A very straightforward developer interface sidesteps many design challenges; efficient FIFO methodology boosts performance over DDR solutions; and evaluation/development equipment help to hasten time-to-market. Product Brief

 
8Mx16 and 16Mx16 DDR1 DRAM  
 
 
 

The 128Mb and 256Mb DDR SDRAM uses a double-data-rate architecture to achieve high-speed operation. The double data rate architecture is essentially a 2n prefetch architecture with an interface designed to transfer two data words per clock cycle at the I/O pins. A single read or write access for the 128Mb and 256Mb DDR SDRAM effectively consists of a single 2nbit wide, one clock cycle data transfer at the internal DRAM core and two corresponding n-bit wide, one-half-clock-cycle data transfers at the I/O pins.Unlike DDR2 and DDR3 which are used in PC mainly, the DDR1 is used more commonly in industrial and communication applications.

150mA Small High-Speed Dual LDO Regulator with ON/OFF Switch 
 
 
 

Torex Semiconductor Ltd. has developed a 150mA small high-speed dual LDO regulator with ON/OFF switch. With a maximum output current of 150mA, the XC6420 Series of high-speed dual LDO regulators achieve high precision (±2%) and high ripple rejection (75dB at 1KHz). Two low-ON resistance LDOs are encapsulated in an ultra-compact, low-profile (0.4mm) package to enable high-density mounting and help save circuit design space.  Output voltage can be selected from within a range of 1.2 to 3.6V in steps of 0.05V with a precision of ±2%.  The ultra-compact USPN-6 package (1.3 x 1.3 x h0.4mm) and SOT-26 package are available for selection as appropriate for the application. Datasheet
