Fairchild Semiconductor’s Translator Solves Compatibility Issues in I2C Bus Applications

Mobile device designers require a low power consumption, 2-bit
voltage level translator to resolve mixed voltage compatibility
issues in I2C bus applications in consumer devices and mobile
phones. To meet this demand, Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE: FCS)
has developed the FXMA2102 – a configurable dual-voltage supply
translator and level shifter that translates voltage levels in I2C
bus interface applications.
The FXMA2102 is a high performance translator designed for
bi-directional voltage translation between any two levels from
1.65V to 5.5V. The two ports of the device have auto-direction
sensing capability, allowing either port to sense an input signal
and transfer it as an output signal to the other port.
Fairchild’s device accommodates standard and fast I2C bus modes,
and works as a translator, buffer and repeater. Additionally, the
FXMA2102 features non-preferential power-up, allowing either VCC to
be powered-up first. Inputs and outputs track VCC levels, making
the device fully configurable. Additionally, the open drain
inputs/outputs allow the device to work in push-pull and open drain
environments.
The FXMA2102 maximizes load capacitance on the I2C bus, offers
lower power consumption than competitive devices and provides ESD
protection that exceeds 8kV HBM. Available in an 8-terminal
leadless MicroPakTM package (1.6mm x 1.6mm) or Ultrathin MLP (1.2mm
x 1.4mm), the FXMA2102 is ideal for use in Smartphones, mobile
phones, netbooks, smartbooks, mobile internet devices, portable
medical devices and set-top-box designs.
Fairchild offers a targeted portfolio of analog and power IP to
support mobile and consumer manufacturers’ specific requirements.
Fairchild’s products for mobile and consumer applications
complement chipsets in signal path for audio, video, USB,
signaling, sensing and timing, and in power management for
peripheral cores, lighting and RF.
