Sync separator for multi-standard video
The Renesas ISL59885ISZ is a dedicated video sync separator IC designed to extract composite sync, vertical sync, and horizontal sync from analog video signals conforming to NTSC, PAL, or SECAM standards. It operates from a single 3V to 5V supply and comes in an 8-SOIC surface-mount package. This part targets professional video equipment — broadcast switchers, video distribution amplifiers, test gear, and studio monitors — where clean sync extraction is needed without the overhead of a full video decoder.
Supply range and signal compatibility
The wide 3V to 5V supply range lets the ISL59885ISZ sit on either a 3.3V or 5V logic rail without a level shifter. That matters when the upstream ADC or FPGA runs at 3.3V and the downstream sync logic expects 5V-tolerant inputs — the part bridges both domains cleanly.
Package and mounting
Housed in an 8-SOIC package (0.154" body width, 3.90 mm), the ISL59885ISZ is a standard surface-mount footprint that fits existing layouts for analog video front-ends. The shipping medium is Tube; if your pick-and-place line expects Tape & Reel, confirm the reel option with your distributor at quote time.
Lifecycle and compliance
It is ROHS3 compliant, so it meets current EU and global restrictions on hazardous substances. No LTB risk for ongoing builds.
