Fairchild Semiconductor's UMLP-Packaged USB 2.0 Switch Offers Industry-Leading Data Transfer, Space Savings in a Range of Electr

Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE:FCS) introduces a USB 2.0 switch that
maximizes board real estate and downloading performance in today�s
increasingly compact and sophisticated electronics. The FSUSB30
combines industry-leading bandwidth (>720MHz), low
on-capacitance (6pF) and the highest available ESD protection (8kV)
in a very small (1.4mm x 1.8mm x 0.55mm) UMLP device. These
attributes result in rapid data transfer, diminished ESD effects
and excellent signal integrity. In addition to saving space in even
the smallest end applications, the FSUSB30�s fast switching
performance makes it ideal for a myriad of products that switch
between USB/high-frequency signals, from slider cell phones and MP3
players to notebooks and in-car entertainment centers. �Fairchild�s
ultra-compact, high-bandwidth switch allows designers to save
critically limited board space while enabling applications to
quickly multiplex between two high-speed (480Mbps) data sources,�
said Patty Miske, switch marketing manager for Fairchild�s Analog
Products Group. �The latest cell phones, for instance, are smaller
and thinner and yet offer increased functionality such as built-in
cameras and MP3 players. A cell phone using the FSUSB30 can
download photos, video clips or MP3 tracks from another source
faster than a cell phone using a non-optimized USB switch.
Additionally, by offering high ESD protection and low
on-capacitance, the FSUSB30 is able to limit noise and other
interference in the application while maintaining signal strength.�
The FSUSB30 is well-suited to a wide range of new and emerging
technologies in which rapid data transfer between applications is
an increasingly popular feature. Baron�s Online recently predicted
that �integrated USB ports that will allow transfers of downloaded
music onto car audio systems featuring hard drives are coming.�[1]
Another popular automotive application is an in-cabin DVD player.
Using an FSUSB30 switch, the player can instantly switch from
showing movies to displaying GPS navigational information. The
introduction of the FSUSB30 illustrates how Fairchild tailors its
products to current design specifications while anticipating new
ones. In addition to the new FSUSB30 in a UMLP package, Fairchild
also offers analog, audio, USB and video switches with the
industry�s best combination of bandwidth, high signal quality and
compact packaging. For more information on Fairchild�s
