Fairchild Semiconductor’s Logic Translator Resolves Compatibility Challenges in Mixed Voltage Applications

Many of today’s electronic devices have multiple operating
ranges, causing voltage compatibility issues. To address this
challenge, Fairchild Semiconductor’s (NYSE: FCS) 8-bit, auto
direction, logic level translator, the FXMA108, resolves
compatibility issues in a mixed voltage environment. Its
auto-direction feature eliminates the need for a direction control
pin, and reduces traces in notebook, smartbook, set-top box and
portable medical designs.
Many microprocessors and peripheral devices operate at different
voltage levels within a system and there is a need to fix the input
and output voltage incompatibility, while still retaining the same
signal integrity. The FXMA108 eliminates the direction control pin,
saves design time and reduces traces on the board. Its wide
operating range (1.65V to 5.5V) makes it ideal for a broad range of
mobile and consumer applications. Additionally, the FXMA108’s
robust design allows the device to handle over-voltage surges up to
7V.
Packaged in a small 20-pin DQFN package for space-constrained
applications, the FXMA108 extends Fairchild’s portfolio of
mid-voltage logic translators. Fairchild offers a targeted
portfolio of analog and power IP to support mobile and consumer
manufacturers’ specific requirements. Fairchild has a wide range of
solutions for mobile and consumer applications. These include
signal path chipsets for audio, video, USB, signaling sensing, and
timing, and power management chipsets for peripheral cores,
lighting, and RF.
