The FIN212AC SerDesTM is a low-power serializer / deserializer optimized for use in cell phone displays and camera paths. The device reduces a 12-bit data path to four wires. The device can be configured as a serializer or deserializer through the DIRI pin, minimizing component types in the system. For camera applications, an additional master clock can be passed in the opposite direction of data flow. The device utilizes Fairchild's proprietary ultra-low power, low-EMI technology. LV-CMOS parallel output buffers have been implemented with slew rate control to adjust for capacitive loading and to minimize EMI. The device also supports an ultra-low power-down mode for conserving power in battery-operated applications. The device is available in a 5x5mm MLP package to attach directly to a flex circuit, or in two choices of BGA, where space constraints are a concern.
