Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE: FCS) provides designers with an
Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) voltage translator that operates
over a wide voltage range (1.65V to 5.5V) to accommodate the needs
of I2C and low-voltage applications. The FXM2IC102�s I2C interface
and open drain output offers designers a simple way to interface
with Bluetooth and display screens in cell phones, notebooks and
other applications. With the I2C interface, only two lines (clock
and data) are required for full duplexed communication. To save
space in these applications, the translator is packaged in compact
1.6mm x 1.6mm MicroPakTM packaging. The FXM2IC102 also features a
dynamic output drive specification and robust ESD protection.
Dynamic output drive allows the FXM2IC102 to quickly drive highly
capacitive loads (as high as 400pF) that are often found in I2C
applications such as cell phones, notebooks, portable GPSs and
cameras. Its strong ESD protection (15kV on I/O pins) allows it to
be placed close to the external environment without the risk of
damage from an ESD event. Fairchild�s FXM2IC102 is part of a broad
portfolio of application-specific logic translators. This includes
the industry�s first 4-bit, low voltage, dual supply voltage
translator with independent-direction controls, the industry�s only
single-bit, bi-directional voltage translator with guaranteed
performance down to 1.1V and the industry�s first dual-supply,
bi-directional translator with independent-direction controls. The
FXM2IC102 utilizes lead-free (Pb-free) terminals and has been
characterized for moisture sensitivity in accordance with the
Pb-free reflow requirements of the joint IPC/JEDEC standard
J-STD-020. All of Fairchild's products are designed to meet the
requirements of the European Union's Directive on the restriction
of the use of certain substances (RoHS). Price (1000, pcs.):
