Fairchild Semiconductor announced the second-generation FIN324C ìSerDes-uLP (Ultra Low Power) series, which is said to offer low current consumption. It is available in ultra-small BGA and MLP packages for space-constrained applications.
Its key features include the elimination of internal Phase-Lock Loop (PLL) to reduce current consumption and eliminate the need for an external clock; dual interface capability for increased design flexibility; robust I/O solution for RF environments resulting in low EMI; and wide LVCMOS supply voltage range (1.60V to 3.0V) for flexibility in a range of applications. The FIN324C is a lead (Pb)-free product that meets or exceeds the requirements of the joint IPC/JEDEC standard J-STD-020C and is compliant with European Union regulations.
