Business Wire
Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE:FCS) introduces the FXL2TD245, the
first dual-supply bi-directional translator on the market
configurable for both uni-directional and independent
bi-directional voltage translation between two logic levels. In
addition to offering designers unparalleled design flexibility in a
wide variety of low-voltage applications, this MicroPak�-packaged
translator helps them dramatically save board space. The FXL2TD245
measures only 0.55mm x 1.6mm x 2.1mm, which is 80 percent smaller
than comparable dual-supply translators in SOIC packages. It also
replaces two 1-bit components used in typical designs. This
ultra-compact translator is ideal for use in cell phones, PDAs,
gaming devices and other portable applications, although its wide
voltage range (1.1-3.6V) accommodates the voltage requirements of a
variety of consumer and industrial applications. �Fairchild�s
FXL2TD245 offers independent-direction controls for each bit, a
truly unique attribute that allows this translator to be configured
for many different designs,� said Gary O�Donnell, Fairchild�s
technical marketing manager Logic Products. �By offering this full
functionality in an ultra-compact MicroPak, the FXL2TD245 offers a
significantly smaller footprint than similar products on the
market. This flexible, compact translator helps our customers
minimize time-to-market, save board space and reduce
bill-of-materials (BOM) cost, all vital considerations for today�s
low-voltage applications.� In addition to performance and space
improvements, the FXL2TD245 bolsters system reliability. For
instance, its 10-terminal MicroPak offers 35 percent more
pad-contact area than other leadless packages, which results in a
stronger solder bond between the device and the circuit board. The
FXL2TD245 facilitates more robust designs by providing outputs that
switch to 3-state if either supply voltage (VCC) is equal to ground
(GND). It also offers built-in power-off protection. Fairchild
Semiconductor�s growing FXL portfolio of logic translators offers
designers a range of device options to better optimize their
specific applications. For more information about these products,
