FIN1019MTC

Overview

The FIN1019MTC is a high-speed differential driver and receiver pair designed for Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) applications. It translates LVTTL signals to LVDS levels with a typical differential output swing of 350mV and converts incoming LVDS signals back to LVTTL using a 100mV threshold. Operating on a single 3.3V supply, the device supports data rates exceeding 400Mbps. Key electrical parameters include a maximum propagation delay of 2.5ns, a maximum differential pulse skew of 0.5ns, and an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. The component is housed in a 14-lead TSSOP package.

Feature Summary

• Translates between LVTTL and LVDS signal standards for high-speed interconnects
• Provides fail-safe protection against open-circuit, shorted, and terminated conditions
• Includes power-off protection to prevent bus contention during low-power states
• Complies with or exceeds the TIA/EIA-644 LVDS standard

Applications

• High-speed clock distribution networks
• Data transfer links requiring low EMI
• Point-to-point serial communication interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation carefully, as Fairchild Semiconductor was acquired by ON Semiconductor. Ensure the specific suffix matches the required packaging configuration, such as TSSOP-14, and confirm that the RoHS compliance status aligns with project requirements, as historical documentation may indicate non-compliance depending on the production batch date.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring translation between LVTTL logic levels and LVDS transmission lines. It is suitable for applications demanding low power dissipation and minimal electromagnetic interference at speeds above 400Mbps. Consider the 14-lead TSSOP footprint for PCB layout constraints and ensure the 3.3V supply voltage is stable within the specified operating range.

Part Context

This device belongs to the FIN1019 series of LVDS interface components manufactured originally by Fairchild Semiconductor. The series includes related parts like the FIN1018 and FIN1026, which offer varying numbers of receivers. These components are widely used in legacy designs for high-speed digital signaling where noise immunity and low power consumption are critical design drivers.

Replacement Considerations

ON Semiconductor FIN1019MTCX serves as a direct functional replacement. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical specifications before substitution.
