USB Transceiver has Micro Leadframe Package.

Press Release Summary:



Enabling designers to add USB 1.1 functionality to space-limited, portable designs, USB1T11ABQ interfaces 5.0 or 3.3 V standard or programmable logic to USB physical layer and supports 12 Mb/s and 1.5 Mb/s data transmission rates. Product offers I/O signal compatibility with USB Implementers Forum's VHDL Serial Interface Engine specification and utilizes JEDEC MO-220 (3 mm²) form factor, which helps eliminate coplanarity problems caused by flexing leads.

Fairchild's New USB Transceiver in Micro Leadframe Package (MLP) is 84% Smaller than Comparable TSSOP or SOIC Devices



New USB transceiver allows designers to add USB 1.1 functionality to space-limited portable designs

South Portland, Maine-May 19, 2003-Fairchild Semiconductor International (NYSE: FCS) announces the USB1T11ABQ, a Universal Serial Bus Transceiver in Micro Leadframe Packaging (MLP). MLP packaging occupies up to 84% less board space than comparable TSSOP and SOIC packages and brings USB 1.1 performance to mobile phones, digital cameras, PDAs, printers, set-top boxes and other space-constrained applications.

Fairchild's USB1T11ABQ transceiver interfaces 5.0V or 3.3V standard or programmable logic to the USB physical layer, and supports both 12Mb/s full speed and 1.5Mb/s low-speed data transmission rates. I/O signal compatibility with the USB Implementers Forum's VHDL "Serial Interface Engine" specification helps engineers to easily design, modify and update USB 1.1 applications using off-the-shelf logic.

Utilizing the JEDEC MO-220 (3mm²) form factor, the MLP package eliminates coplanarity problems caused by flexing leads, as sometimes occurs with TSSOP and SOIC package designs. Other MLP-derived design benefits include lower component height of 1.0mm for space-restricted portable designs, lower thermal resistance due to the component's center DAP that connects directly to the die and PC board, and the device's 0.5mm pin-to-pin pitch that supports current manufacturability standards.

"Fairchild's new USB transceiver in ultra small MLP packaging provides the space savings needed for designers of hand-held devices to add USB functionality to their designs," says Seth Prentice, product manager for USB and analog switch products.

The USB1T11ABQ adds to Fairchild's portfolio of products targeted at portable applications. These products include TinyLogic® devices, analog switches, audio amplifiers, LEDs and LED drivers, switching regulators, LDOs and MOSFETs.
