Differential two-port switch works three
ways
Fairchild Semiconductor Has expanded its LVDS interface IC portfolio with the release of the FIN1022, a 2 x 2 LVDS high-speed crosspoint switch.
Fairchild Semiconductor Has expanded its LVDS interface IC portfolio with the release of the FIN1022, a 2 x 2 LVDS high-speed crosspoint switch The nonblocking, fully differential two-port switch can be configured as a 2:1 multiplexer, a 1:2 demultiplexer, a 2:2 repeater, or 1:2 signal splitter for use in multiple communications applications, including SONET/SDH, wireless basestations, and multiple routing applications

Dual-output buffer for DDR SDRAM modules
Fairchild Semiconductor has introduced a dual-output registered buffer for 184-pin, 2.5V PC200/PC266, 72bit-wide registered double data rate (DDR) SDRAM modules.
Bus hold makes logic more predictable
Fairchild Semiconductor has made a number of additions to its LCX family, the logic industry standard for 3.3V applications.
The FIN1022's wide common-mode range allows a designer to directly interface multiple I/O standards to LVDS levels.
The crosspoint switch allows direct interfacing to LVPECL, SSTL-2 (series stub-terminated logic), and HSTL (high-speed transceiver logic), in addition to LVDS.
The FIN1022 supports a throughput of greater than 800Mbit/s enabling operation in OC-3/STM-1 (STS-3) and OC-12/STM-4 (STS-12) environments.
End systems can achieve higher bandwidth capability with the FIN1022's short 1.6ns (max) prop delay, low random and deterministic jitter, and tight 35ps (typical) channel-to-channel skew.
Compared with competing solutions, the FIN1022 dissipates 35% of the static Power - or only 35mA ICC at 3.3V compared with 95mA for the leading competitor.
The FIN1022 is the first in a series of planned high-performance crosspoint switches from Fairchild that complement its existing portfolio of high- performance drivers and receivers.
Samples and production are available now in SOIC; TSSOP will be available in January 2002.
