Focusing on analog and power functions that enhance user
satisfaction and market success, Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE:
FCS) offers mobile handset designers an auto-selecting Hi-Speed USB
switch with an integrated cap-free headphone audio amplifier. The
FSA2000 is an industry first, and reduces component count, board
space and BOM cost.
Fairchild, a mobile technology leader with a broad portfolio of
analog and power IP, leveraged its system-level expertise in USB
switches and audio headphone amplifiers to develop an innovative
solution ideal for 3G cell phones, as well as netbooks and portable
MP3/MP4 media players.
Current solutions rely on the use of several discrete components
such as a USB switch, two large 220µF capacitors and an external
headphone amplifier. Through integration, the FSA2000 eliminates
these additional components, saving board space and BOM costs. This
device is a USB 2.0 Full Speed (FS) and Hi-Speed (HS) compliant
switch that integrates a class AB cap-free headphone amplifier.
The FSA2000 also has the capability to auto-switch to USB when
VBUS is present. During this process, it does not need to power-up
the headphone amplifier, saving power and conserving device battery
life.
The FSA2000 is part of a comprehensive portfolio of Fairchild’s
USB solutions. These switches are ideal for USB port isolation,
connector sharing and signal multiplexing. These solutions are
often used to share or route USB ports through implementing
advanced detection techniques. The switches are compliant with
USB2.0 FS/HS with bandwidths in excess of 720MHz.
