The FIN324C is a 24-bit serializer / deserializer with dual strobe inputs. The device can be configured as a master or slave device through the master/slave select pin (M/S). This allows for the same device to be used as either a serializer or deserializer, minimizing component types in the system. The dual strobe inputs allow implementation of dual-display systems with a single pair of SerDes. The FIN324C can accommodate RGB, microcontroller, or SPI mode interfaces. Read and write transactions are supported when operating with a Motorola-style microcontroller interface for one or both displays. Unlike other SerDes solutions, no external timing reference is required for operation. The FIN324C is designed for ultra-low power operation. Reset (/RES) and standby (/STBY) signals put the device in an ultra-low power state. In standby mode, the outputs of the slave device maintain state, allowing the system to resume operation from the last-known state. The device utilizes Fairchild's proprietary ultra-low power, low-EMI Current Transfer LogicTM (CTL) technology. The serial interface disables between transactions to minimize EMI at the fundamental serial interface and to conserve power. LV-CMOS parallel output buffers have been implemented with slew rate control to adjust for capacitive loading and to minimize EMI.
