FIN224ACMLX

Serializers, Deserializers Overview

The FIN224ACMLX is a serializer/deserializer (SerDes) integrated circuit from the µSerDes series, manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor. It features a 22-bit serializing input and a 22-bit deserializing output, facilitating high-speed data transmission. The device operates on an LVCMOS interface with a supply voltage range of 1.65V to 3.6V. It is housed in a 40-MLP (5x5) surface-mount package and supports an operating temperature range of -30°C to 70°C.

Serializers, Deserializers Feature Summary

• Integrates 22-bit serialization and deserialization capabilities for efficient data link management.
• Supports low-voltage CMOS (LVCMOS) input and output signaling standards.

Serializers, Deserializers Applications

• High-speed digital data transmission links
• Parallel-to-serial data conversion interfaces
• Serial-to-parallel data recovery circuits

Serializers, Deserializers Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin carefully, as Fairchild Semiconductor's semiconductor assets were acquired by ON Semiconductor. Ensure the component matches the specific MLP package outline and pin configuration required for your PCB layout. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for any product change notices related to the legacy Fairchild branding versus current ON Semiconductor part numbers.

Serializers, Deserializers Selection Notes

Select this component when a 22-bit SerDes solution is required within the specified voltage window. Compare against the FIN12ACMLX if only 12-bit channels are needed, or the FIN212ACMLX for different I/O configurations. Ensure the design accommodates the thermal requirements of the 40-MLP package and that the system logic levels align with the LVCMOS specifications.

Serializers, Deserializers Part Context

This part belongs to the µSerDes family of interface ICs designed for reducing pin counts in high-speed digital systems. While originally released under Fairchild Semiconductor, production and support may now be managed by ON Semiconductor following corporate acquisitions. The MLP package offers a compact footprint suitable for space-constrained applications requiring significant parallel-to-serial bandwidth.

Serializers, Deserializers Replacement Considerations

Check for equivalents such as the FIN224ACGFX or other variants within the same µSerDes family. Verify functional compatibility regarding pinout and electrical characteristics before substitution.
