Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation as Fairchild Semiconductor or ON Semiconductor, as corporate acquisitions may affect labeling. Confirm the package type is 8-MicroPak and check for specific suffix variations that might indicate tape-and-reel packaging or temperature grades. Ensure RoHS compliance documentation matches current regulatory requirements for your region.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact dual-channel analog switch is required for low-voltage applications. Compare on-resistance values against system signal integrity requirements. Verify that the input voltage range aligns with the control logic levels used in the design. Consider the thermal performance within the small MicroPak footprint during high-current switching operations.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

The FSA1258L8X belongs to the FSA12xx series of analog switches from Fairchild/ON Semiconductor. This family focuses on space-constrained portable electronics. Similar parts in the series may offer different channel counts or pin configurations. The MicroPak package is distinct for its ultra-small footprint compared to standard SOIC or TSSOP packages.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

Check for direct cross-reference part numbers from ON Semiconductor's current portfolio. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility if substituting with other dual SPST switches. Ensure equivalent on-resistance and leakage current specifications are met by alternative components.
