Chip Boasts Of Four Channels Of Analog Video Buffering

The ZXFB04 video buffer is claimed to provide a lower-cost alternative to high-performance video amplifiers and is ideal for a wide variety of multi-channel applications where broadcast quality is not required. The device provides four channels of analog video buffering in a compact, low-cost package. Small signal bandwidth is rated at over 100 MHz, while 1V_p-p bandwidth is greater than 20 MHz. Claiming to minimize signal degradation, the buffer also offers a slew rate of 40 V/µs. Power consumption is only 1.9 mA and operation is at 5V. Available in a 14-pin SOIC package, pricing is $2.00 each/10,000.
