FIN210ACGFX

Overview

The FIN210ACGFX is a serializer/deserializer component from Fairchild Semiconductor's µSerDes series. It features a 10-bit serial input and 2-parallel output configuration for serialization, with a reverse 2-serial to 10-parallel path for deserialization. The device operates on a single 1.65V to 3.6V supply voltage. It utilizes LVCMOS input and output logic levels. The component is housed in a 40-MLP (5x7) surface-mount package with an exposed pad. It supports an operating temperature range of -30°C to 70°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides high-speed data serialization and deserialization capabilities for parallel-to-serial and serial-to-parallel conversion.
• Supports low-voltage CMOS logic interfaces for system compatibility.
• Designed for compact board space utilization through small footprint packaging.

Applications

• High-definition video interface connections
• Display panel driver interfaces
• Portable electronic device data transmission

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer marking and date code against official Fairchild or ON Semiconductor documentation to confirm authenticity. Ensure the package type matches the 40-MLP specification. Check RoHS compliance status if required by local regulations. Confirm the specific suffix 'GFX' corresponds to the intended tape and reel or tray packaging format as defined in the datasheet.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 10-bit wide parallel interface requires serial conversion for PCB trace reduction. Ensure the system power supply falls within the 1.65V to 3.6V range. Verify that the LVCMOS signal levels are compatible with the connected source and sink devices. Consider the thermal performance of the MLP package for the specific application environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the µSerDes family of serializers and deserializers. It serves as a bridge between parallel digital buses and serial transmission lines. Similar parts in the series include the FIN212AC and FIN224AC, which offer different bit widths. These components are commonly used in display and video applications to reduce pin counts and simplify routing.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes such as the FIN210A with different packaging suffixes. Verify pinout compatibility before replacing with other µSerDes variants like the FIN212AC, as bit widths differ. Consult the manufacturer's cross-reference tool for officially validated replacements.
