A/V Component Switch Raises Integration Levels

Providing all the analog video and audio inputs needed for high-definition televisions and set-top boxes, the TB1311AFG A/V and component switch integrates a programmable A/V switching block, real-time format detector and automatic sync processor within a lead-free QFP80 package. The programmable audio block accepts up to 10 inputs and three outputs, and the programmable video block accommodates composite, S-video, component, RGB and SCART signals and output up to two video and one monitor signals. The real-time format detector supports high-resolution component video, and a no signal input detector activates a dummy HD/VD signal output to stabilize the TV output. Pricing is $5 each/10,000.
