CADEKA(R) Announces Triple, SD Video Amplifiers that Consume Only 26.4mW in Consumer Applications

LOVELAND, Colo.--(Business Wire)--
CADEKA Microcircuits, the industry's fastest growing analog
supplier, introduces the CLC3800 and CLC3801 low power, triple video
amplifiers. These amplifiers are designed to meet the requirements of
today's cost-sensitive, standard definition (SD) consumer and
industrial video applications. Carrying the COMLINEAR(R) brand, these
amplifiers offer superb performance consuming only 26.4mW and offering
industry leading differential gain/phase (0.05%/0.02 degrees).

   The COMLINEAR CLC3800 and CLC3801 feature integrated 8MHz,
4th-order low pass filters designed to cleanly pass SD video signals
while filtering out noise and other unwanted signals, resulting in a
crisper, cleaner video signal. These amplifiers also integrate
high-performance, fixed-gain video drivers that utilize CADEKA's vast
amplifier design expertise. The CLC3800 offers a fixed gain of 6dB. If
additional gain is required, the CLC3801 video amplifier offers a
fixed gain of 9dB. The two gain options make these amplifiers well
suited for use with a variety of video DACs and encoders.

   Each channel of the CLC3800 or CLC3801 can drive two AC- or
DC-coupled video loads. This allows today's STB, PVR, LCDTV, portable
DVD, or video surveillance systems to provide the end user with
additional output configurations. Examples of these include:

   --  Configuration 1: Dual RGB, YPbPr, or YUV

   --  Configuration 2: 2 S-Video and dual CV

   --  Configuration 3: 6 CV channels

   "The introduction of the COMLINEAR CLC3800 and CLC3801 further
strengthens our video amplifier portfolio," explains Jay Dokter,
CADEKA's Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "The
extremely low power dissipation provides a huge thermal and power
consumption benefit to consumer and portable video equipment
manufacturers."
