FIN12ACGFX

Overview

The FIN12ACGFX is a serializing/deserializing interface component manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor, belonging to the µSerDes series. It operates as a serializer and deserializer with a configuration of 12 inputs to 2 outputs for serialization and 2 inputs to 12 outputs for deserialization. The device supports LVCMOS input and output logic levels and functions within a supply voltage range of 1.65V to 3.6V. It is designed for surface mount installation in a 32-WFQFN package with an exposed pad, specifically identified as a 32-MLP (5x5) footprint. The component is rated for an operating temperature range from -30°C to 70°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides high-speed serializing and deserializing capabilities for digital signal transmission
• Supports LVCMOS logic interfaces for compatibility with standard digital systems
• Operates on low voltage power supplies ranging from 1.65V to 3.6V

Applications

• High-speed data transmission links requiring serial-to-parallel conversion
• Parallel-to-serial data multiplexing applications
• Digital interface circuits utilizing LVCMOS signaling standards

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation carefully, as Fairchild Semiconductor operations were integrated into ON Semiconductor. Confirm that the specific suffix 'GFX' corresponds to the exact package and tape-and-reel configuration required for your assembly process. Ensure compliance with RoHS3 specifications if environmental regulations apply to your manufacturing environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 12:2 or 2:12 serialization ratio is required for LVCMOS signals. Verify that the system power budget accommodates the 1.65V to 3.6V supply range. Ensure the PCB layout supports the 32-MLP (5x5) package dimensions and thermal requirements for the specified operating temperature range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the µSerDes family of interface components designed for efficient data transfer. Fairchild Semiconductor was acquired by ON Semiconductor, which continues to support these products. The FIN12ACGFX represents a specific variant within this series, tailored for applications needing moderate channel counts with low-voltage operation.

Replacement Considerations

Check for cross-reference listings from ON Semiconductor, as they manage the product line following the acquisition. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameters against any potential substitute parts to ensure functional equivalence in the existing circuit design.
