FIN1018M

Overview

The FIN1018M is a single-channel line driver and receiver manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor. It operates with a supply voltage of 3.3 V and supports an operating temperature range from -40 °C to 85 °C. The device features a maximum receive delay of 2.5 ns and a maximum slew rate of 12.5 mA. Electrical characteristics include a maximum high-level input current of 0.00002 A and a maximum output low current of 0.008 A. The minimum output swing is specified at 0.25 V. The component is housed in a TSSOP-14 package.

Feature Summary

• Integrated single-channel differential line driver and receiver functionality
• Designed for operation within standard automotive industrial temperature ranges
• Utilizes TSSOP surface-mount packaging for compact integration

Applications

• Differential signal transmission systems
• Industrial communication interfaces
• Automotive electronic control units

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation, as Fairchild Semiconductor's semiconductor division was acquired by ON Semiconductor. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required package type and lead-free status. Confirm RoHS compliance documentation aligns with current regulatory requirements for your specific deployment region before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel differential interface is required with a 3.3 V supply constraint. Verify that the 2.5 ns receive delay meets system timing specifications. Ensure the TSSOP-14 footprint is compatible with the PCB layout. Consider thermal management capabilities if operating near the upper temperature limit.

Part Context

The FIN1018M belongs to the line driver and receiver category within analog mixed-signal integrated circuits. It serves as a peripheral driver component designed for reliable data transmission over differential pairs. The device is part of a broader family of interface solutions intended for robust signal integrity in electrically noisy environments.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible replacements from ON Semiconductor or other manufacturers offering similar single-channel differential drivers. Verify that substitute components maintain the same 3.3 V supply requirement and TSSOP-14 package dimensions to ensure mechanical compatibility.
