Removal of this direction control pin simplifies design and eliminates the need to program the General Purpose IO (GPIO) for this control. To accommodate the needs of increasingly compact applications, the FXLA104 is packaged in 1.8mm x 2.6mm UMLP packaging and the FXLA108 is packaged in a space-saving 4.5mm x 2.5mm DQFN packaging. Serving voltages from 1.2 to 3.6 volts, these translation solutions are ideal for the needs of many different portable designs.
This translator enhances Fairchild’s comprehensive portfolio of logic translators. This portfolio includes the industry’s only single-bit, bi-directional voltage translator with guaranteed performance down to 1.1V, the industry’s first dual-supply, bi-directional translator with independent-direction controls, the industry’s first four-bit, low voltage dual supply translator with independent direction controls and the industry’s fastest two-bit auto-direction detection translator. With this broad range of choices, designers can use Fairchild for nearly all their translation needs.
