World's Most Flexible Video Multiplexer Combines Multiformat Video Filtering, Two Universal Sync Separators and Programmable Output Gain Control

MILPITAS, CA, Aug 27, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- ISIL | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Intersil Corporation (NASDAQ: ISIL), a world leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance analog semiconductors, today announced the ISL59450 Multiformat Video Multiplexer with Integrated Sync Separator, a device designed for the variety of video signals and formats used today. The device's unmatched video format flexibility along with programmable anti-aliasing filters and integrated sync separators, make this multiplexer the ideal choice for video switching in nearly all display systems.

The ISL59450 has 6 Composite, 4 S-Video and 4 Component video inputs enabling simultaneously switching of many video signals in different formats. Additionally, two of the Component input channels can be configured for RGB signals with separate horizontal and vertical syncs. This allows for handling of PC video signals often used in multimedia and home-theater applications.

The ISL59450 features integrated programmable anti-aliasing filters which provide the ability to program the corner frequencies to specifically address the video standard being used. This further enables the customer to achieve the best possible video performance.

Two universal sync separators extract the timing signals from input signals, which will be needed further down the signal path to display and manipulate images. This, along with two active output channels per input group, enables functionality such as picture-in-picture (PIP).

The ISL59450 also features programmable output gain control providing another degree of flexibility as the end user can independently adjust the gain of each output to match the termination network.

To support very high resolution signals, the ISL59450 can be configured to bypass the filters and provide 275MHz of bandwidth. Enhanced scalability is achieved through a high impedance state that allows non-active parts to be isolated from active signals, enabling multiple devices to be used in parallel to create larger switches.

All of this makes the ISL59450 an ideal part to handle multiple video inputs into almost any type of video system.

Pricing and Availability

The ISL59450 is available now in a 128-lead MQFP package and is priced at $7.93 per unit in 1,000-unit quantities. More information on the ISL59450 is available at http://www.intersil.com/cda/deviceinfo/0,1477,ISL59450,0.html

About Intersil's Video Products

From high-performance video amplifiers to differential line equalizers, Intersil's portfolio of video products can address any portion of the analog signal chain. The number and variety of video products on the market continues to grow. With the expansion of HDTV and high-resolution RGB (red, green, blue) signals, the most common point-to-point connection for a video signal is analog. Intersil's video ICs provide many solutions for moving these signals around. Whether it is transmitting RGB down CAT-5 or switching 32 security video feeds, Intersil has a solution. Also, Intersil's IS L5944x family extends the available bandwidth of RGB multiplexers on the market from 500 MHz up to 1GHz -- the first time this barrier has been broken. Intersil continues to deliver best-in-class video solutions for its customers, addressing every piece of the signal chain.
