Fairchild Semiconductor marks its entrance into the high performance amplifier market with five operational amplifiers (op amps). The 210 MHz FHP3x50 and the 50 MHz FHP3x30 families allow designers to target a broad range of high definition (HD) and standard definition (SD) video applications including set-top boxes, digital TVs and audio/video amplifiers. These two product families were developed with Fairchild’s new proprietary “BCP6T” technology. Fairchild’s high performance op amps allow video designers to achieve their dual objectives of delivering good amplifier performance and maintaining very low power consumption.
“Fairchild now leads the high performance amplifier market with a range of devices offering designers the best available combination of power and performance features,” said Debbie Brandenburg, Fairchild’s marketing engineer, Signal Conditioning Products. “The FHP3x30 family, for example, provides the lowest available power consumption combined with 33 percent higher bandwidth, 33 percent more output current and 55 percent better DC performance than comparable devices. And our FHP3x50 family offers best-in-class input bias current, which is an order of magnitude better than any other device in this performance range.”
