Fairchild Semiconductor Introduces the Industry's Only Dual-Supply Bi-Directional Translator with Independent-Direction Controls.The FXL FXL Flex Loader 2TD245 in MicroPak[TM] Offers Unique Design Flexibility While Dramatically Reducing Board Space in Low-Voltage Designs SOUTH PORTLAND, Maine South Portland is a city in Cumberland County, Maine, United States. As of the 2000 census, the city population was 23,324. Geography South Portland is located at (43.631549, -70.272724)GR1. -- Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :FCS FCS - Frame Check Sequence ) introduces the FXL2TD245, the first dual-supply bi-directional translator on the market configurable for both uni-directional and independent bi-directional voltage translation between two logic levels. In addition to offering designers unparalleled design flexibility in a wide variety of low-voltage applications, this MicroPak[TM]-packaged translator helps them dramatically save board space. The FXL2TD245 measures only 0.55mm x 1.6mm x 2.1mm, which is 80 percent smaller than comparable dual-supply translators in SOIC (Small Outline IC) A small-dimension, plastic, rectangular, surface mount chip package that uses gull-wing pins extending outward. See gull-wing lead, SOJ and chip package. packages. It also replaces two 1-bit components used in typical designs. This ultra-compact translator is ideal for use in cell phones, PDAs, gaming devices and other portable applications, although its wide voltage range (1.1-3.6V) accommodates the voltage requirements of a variety of consumer and industrial applications. "Fairchild's FXL2TD245 offers independent-direction controls for each bit, a truly unique attribute that allows this translator to be configured for many different designs," said Gary O'Donnell Gary O'Donnell (born May 12 1965) was an Australian rules footballer who played 243 games for the Essendon Football Club between 1987 and 1998. O'Donnell's start at football didn't come easy: he played nearly 50 reserve grade matches before being selected to make his debut , Fairchild's technical marketing manager Logic Products. "By offering this full functionality in an ultra-compact MicroPak, the FXL2TD245 offers a significantly smaller footprint than similar products on the market. This flexible, compact translator helps our customers minimize time-to-market, save board space and reduce bill-of-materials (BOM) cost, all vital considerations for today's low-voltage applications." In addition to performance and space improvements, the FXL2TD245 bolsters system reliability. For instance, its 10-terminal MicroPak offers 35 percent more pad-contact area than other leadless packages, which results in a stronger solder bond between the device and the circuit board. The FXL2TD245 facilitates more robust designs by providing outputs that switch to 3-state if either supply voltage (VCC An electronics designation that refers to voltage from a power supply connected to the "collector" terminal of a bipolar transistor. In an NPN bipolar (BJT) transistor, it would be +Vcc, while in a PNP transistor, it would be -Vcc. ) is equal to ground (GND GND Ground GND GIG (Global Information Grid) Network Defense GND System Ground GND Circuit Reference (Zero) Voltage Level GND St Georges/Grenada, Grenada - Pt Saline (Airport Code) ). It also offers built-in power-off protection. Fairchild Semiconductor's growing FXL portfolio of logic translators offers designers a range of device options to better optimize their specific applications.
