Description
The FIN212AC µSerDes is a low-power serializer /
deserializer optimized for use in cell phone displays and
camera paths. The device reduces a 12-bit data path to
four wires. The device can be configured as a serializer
or deserializer through the DIRI pin, minimizing
component types in the system. For camera
applications, an additional master clock can be passed
in the opposite direction of data flow.
The device utilizes Fairchild’s proprietary ultra-low
power, low-EMI technology. LV-CMOS parallel output
buffers have been implemented with slew rate control to
adjust for capacitive loading and to minimize EMI. The
device also supports an ultra-low power-down mode for
conserving power in battery-operated applications
The device is available in a 5x5mm MLP package to
attach directly to a flex circuit, or in two choices of BGA,
where space constraints are a concern.
