Image Module Switch is designed for portable devices.June 30, 2009 -
Suited for dual camera applications, FSA1211 is 12-port, SPST analog switch that isolates high speed bus from parasitic components to maintain signal integrity. It has bandwidth of 720 MHz, high ESD of 5.5 kV, and offers optimal way to isolate capacitance and maintain signal integrity for high speed data paths. When isolating unused parallel interface, switch reduces radiated EMI of path, improving RF desense.

Fairchild Semiconductor Introduces the First Camera Isolation Switch for Portable Devices
SAN JOSE, Calif. - June 16, 2009 - Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE: FCS) brings designers of 3G smartphones, netbooks, set-top boxes and notebooks the industry's first image module switch that isolates parasitic components to maintain signal integrity. The FSA1211 is a 12-port, single pole, single throw (SPST) analog switch that isolates the high speed bus from parasitic components in dual camera applications. Smartphones feature dual cameras and as these cameras move to higher and higher resolutions, parasitic components play a critical role in deteriorating signals and generating unwanted EMI.
With a bandwidth in excess of 720MHz and high ESD (5.5 kV), the FSA1211 offers an optimal way to isolate capacitance and maintain signal integrity for high speed data paths. In addition, when isolating the unused parallel interface, the FSA1211 reduces the radiated EMI of the path, improving RF desense. The traditional parallel solution can deteriorate the signal due to the unwanted "stub," resulting in image degradation of the camera module. Another approach is to use three analog switches, which complicates design and adds to the overall bill of material (BOM) costs. In contrast, the FSA1211 offers robust isolation and ease of design at a lower cost.
The FSA1211 complements Fairchild's comprehensive offering of switch products used in portable and consumer applications. These analog, audio, video and USB switches are instrumental in minimizing redundant circuitry, eliminating connectors, simplifying design and conserving space in designs. Offered in a variety of functions, configurations, packages and performance levels, Fairchild's switches are pivotal in solving portable and consumer design challenges.
