FIN24ACGFX

Serializers, Deserializers Overview

The FIN24ACGFX is a low-voltage, 22-bit bi-directional serializer/deserializer manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor. It supports multiple frequency ranges for flexible data transmission. The device integrates both transmitter and receiver functions in a single package, enabling high-speed serial communication over parallel buses. It utilizes LVDS-compatible signaling to reduce power consumption and electromagnetic interference. The component is designed for applications requiring robust data integrity and minimal pin count.

Serializers, Deserializers Feature Summary

• Bi-directional data transfer capability allowing simultaneous serialization and deserialization
• Low voltage operation reducing overall system power consumption
• Multiple frequency range support for adaptable clock speeds
• LVDS-compatible interface ensuring signal integrity and noise immunity

Serializers, Deserializers Applications

• High-speed parallel-to-serial data conversion in industrial equipment
• Display interface modules requiring compact form factors
• Communication systems needing reduced wiring complexity

Serializers, Deserializers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix GFX indicates the BGA-42 package configuration as documented in official Fairchild datasheets. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current manufacturer documentation, as historical versions may vary. Ensure the source document explicitly identifies the part as Fairchild Semiconductor before procurement to avoid confusion with ON Semiconductor equivalents acquired later.

Serializers, Deserializers Selection Notes

Select this component when a 22-bit wide parallel bus requires serial conversion with bidirectional support. Compare against the FIN24A if only 24 bits are needed or if different packaging is preferred. Verify that the required operating frequency falls within the supported ranges specified in the electrical characteristics table of the datasheet.

Serializers, Deserializers Part Context

This part belongs to the USerDes family of serializers and deserializers from Fairchild Semiconductor. It shares functional similarities with the FIN24AC but differs in package type and specific pinout configuration. The GFX suffix typically denotes a ball grid array package suitable for surface mount assembly processes.

Serializers, Deserializers Replacement Considerations

The FIN24ACGFX may be functionally replaced by other members of the FIN24 series such as the FIN24AC depending on package constraints. Verify pin compatibility and electrical specifications before substitution. No direct cross-manufacturer equivalent is publicly confirmed without detailed schematic review.
