FIN1017K8X

Overview

The FIN1017K8X is a low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) driver manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor, now part of onsemi. It operates as a single-channel, high-speed differential transmitter designed for data rates up to 600 Mbps. The device functions within a supply voltage range of 3.0 V to 3.6 V and draws approximately 10 mA of operating current. It is housed in an 8-lead USON package, suitable for surface-mount applications with a specified operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides LVDS-compliant differential output signals for high-speed serial data transmission.
• Operates with a low supply voltage range compatible with 3.3 V logic systems.
• Features a compact surface-mount package design to minimize board space requirements.

Applications

• High-speed serial data links requiring LVDS compliance.
• Point-to-point interconnects in consumer electronics.
• Industrial control systems utilizing differential signaling.

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer status carefully, as Fairchild Semiconductor's semiconductor business was acquired by onsemi. Confirm that the specific suffix K8X corresponds to the intended packaging format and ensure the component availability aligns with current production lifecycles managed by the successor entity.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel LVDS driver is required for data rates up to 600 Mbps. Ensure the system power supply remains within the 3.0 V to 3.6 V range. Verify that the USON-8 package dimensions fit the PCB layout constraints and that the thermal performance meets the -40°C to +85°C operational requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the FIN101x series of LVDS interface components. It serves as a transmitter counterpart to receivers such as the FIN1018. The series is designed to replace older LVDS solutions with lower power consumption and smaller form factors, facilitating integration into modern portable and industrial devices.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements may include the FIN1017MX or other variants within the FIN101x family. Verify pin compatibility and electrical specifications before substitution. Note that legacy Fairchild parts may be superseded by onsemi equivalents with updated packaging or lifecycle statuses.
