FIN224ACGFX

Serializers, Deserializers Overview

The FIN224ACGFX is a serializer/deserializer component from Fairchild Semiconductor, part of the µSerDes family. It features a 22-bit bidirectional data path with 22 serial inputs and 22 serial outputs for deserialization, or vice versa for serialization. The device operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 1.65V to 3.6V. It utilizes LVCMOS input and output logic levels. The component is housed in a 42-ball Plastic Ball Grid Array (PBGA) package. It supports an operating temperature range of -30°C to 70°C (TA). The part is RoHS compliant and has a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1.

Serializers, Deserializers Feature Summary

Serializers, Deserializers Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin, as Fairchild Semiconductor's semiconductor business was acquired by ON Semiconductor. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the specific package variant required. Confirm RoHS compliance status for current production lots. Check for any obsolescence notices from the current rights holder. Validate that the PBGA42 package availability aligns with long-term supply requirements.

Serializers, Deserializers Selection Notes

Select this component when a 22-bit wide data path is required for serializing or deserializing parallel data streams. Ensure the system power budget accommodates the 1.65V to 3.6V supply range. Verify that the PCB layout supports the 42-ball BGA footprint. Compare against other µSerDes variants if different bit widths or package types are needed.

Serializers, Deserializers Part Context

The FIN224ACGFX belongs to the µSerDes product line designed for high-density interconnects. It serves as a bridge between parallel processor buses and serial transmission lines. This specific model uses a BGA package suitable for automated surface mount assembly. It complements other serializers and deserializers in the portfolio offering different channel counts.
