Fairchild Semiconductor's New Micro-SerDes Products Offer 15kV ESD and Superior EMI for Portable Applications

Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE:FCS), innovator of the industry's
leading serialization solution for small displays and cameras in
portable electronics, introduces key enhancements to its
uSerDes(TM) (micro-SerDes) technology. Using the same footprint and
base architecture as its popular predecessor, the FIN24AC, the new
FIN224AC offers enhanced ESD protection and reduced EMI. As with
any handheld electronic equipment, damage from electrostatic
discharge is a primary concern. Fairchild addressed this challenge
by increasing ESD protection from 8kV in the FIN24AC to 15kV in the
FIN224AC. Another enhancement is the implementation of rolled edge
rates of the LVTTL outputs to further reduce EMI. This is
particularly advantageous in cell phones and other wireless
applications where minimizing noise is crucial. Fairchild's uSerDes
products use patented low-power, low-EMI CTL(TM) technology to
reduce 24 or 12 parallel LVTTL signals typically required in
ultra-portables to a single differential serial signal. This
innovative approach eliminates the number of wires in an
application, simplifying the design and saving space, while also
removing problematic electromagnetic radiation from wide,
high-speed data paths. Fairchild's uSerDes devices are easily
adaptable to a wide range of technologies since they offer similar
benefits to any application with a small display or camera. Driven
by the high data-rate demands of cameras and displays along with
the mechanical requirements of clamshell and slider form factors,
cell phone designers were the first to adopt uSerDes technology.
"Fairchild has worked closely with our customers to refine our
uSerDes technology and produce a device that addresses all their
concerns while simplifying converging technologies into even
smaller, thinner applications," says Chris Ferland, Fairchild's
uSerDes(TM) marketing manager. "Fairchild's FIN224AC fulfills an
important need in portable applications." Fairchild's uSerDes is a
breakthrough technology embodying the company's focus on
high-performance analog products. After successfully developing
this advanced technology in cooperation with its customers,
Fairchild continues to enhance uSerDes devices to meet the
requirements of next-generation electronics. uSerDes devices
simplify designs with high-resolution HVGA displays and
multi-megapixel cameras. In many designs, this approach also lowers
the total solution cost of these high-speed interfaces by reducing
connector and flex cable requirements and by eliminating the need
for EMI shielding and filters. For more information about the

(PB)-free device that meets or exceeds the requirements of the
joint ICP/JEDEC standard J-STD-020C and is compliant with the
European Union regulations now in effect. -0- *T Price (each, 1000
