San Jose, CA, 2004-11-24 - Pericom Semiconductor Corporation
(NASDAQ: PSEM), a worldwide preferred supplier
of high-speed silicon-based integrated circuits and quartz-based frequency
control devices,
today announced broad expansion of their analog video switch
family by delivering six new products targeting the next generation of consumer
multimedia video markets.
Pericom’s new PI3V and PI5V high-bandwidth analog video switches are
specifically designed and
characterized for video signal applications, and
provide an optimal cost-to-performance solution for high volume switching functions
in the
consumer video market segments. These video switches are multiplexer/demultiplexers
with Hi-Z outputs that are recommended for both RGB and
composite video switching.
This includes applications such as Personal Computers, Television, Projection
Equipment, Graphic Cards, Set-Top
Box, Networking, and Telecommunications.
Due to the low R-on and C-on of the products, the bandwidth can be as high
as 570 MHz. They also
offer low crosstalk (-60db to –80dB) and great
isolation (-60dB).
“There has been an increasing need to add multiple video
components
to a single video display unit in order to provide true multimedia entertainment
video networks. Pericom’s PI3Vx14 family
enables designers to add up
to four video components, such as DVD, PC, DVR, VCR & etc. to a video network,” said
Shaf Rahman,
Director of Marketing for Switch & Interface products. “PI3Vx14
also has almost flat low R-on, which is an excellent analog
characteristic
suitable for analog video signals and helps to minimize attenuation or distortion
due to critical color granularity and picture quality. In
addition, multiple
PC connections to the same network require multiplexing capability of the horizontal
and vertical synchronous signals to the
single display unit. Pericom’s
512/514, 5-Channel products address this particular need,” Rahman continued.
“Circuit damage due to ESD/EOS is common in boards that do not have
a built-in ESD protection mechanism on the board itself. To avoid this
issue,
system designers prefer components which have higher ESD protection so that
a sudden high electrical surge does not propagate through
the system. Pericom’s
PI5V330S analog switch provides robust ESD protection of 5KV HBM and 10KV I/O
to GND. This extra ESD/EOS
protection on the board, in addition to the protection
offered by the external circuitry, exudes robust protection against an electrical
surcharge,” added Rahman.
