Fairchild's New USB 1.1-Speed Switch Offers Low Power, High Bandwidth for Ultra-Portables

New Low-Voltage Analog Switch in MicroPak(TM) Packaging Facilitates the Move to Smaller Ultra-Portable Devices

SOUTH PORTLAND, Maine—(BUSINESS WIRE)—May 18, 2004— Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE:FCS), the fastest-growing supplier of analog switch solutions(1), announces the immediate availability of its new FSUSB11 -- a low power, high bandwidth, dual Single Pole/Double Throw (SPDT) USB switch providing fast-switch-time multiplex/demultiplexing of analog audio and USB 1.1 signals. Designed specifically for USB applications, Fairchild's high-performance FSUSB11 is ideal for switching applications in ultra-portable cell phones, computers and peripherals, consumer electronics and other USB 1.1-ported devices. The device provides superior performance through low power consumption, exceptional ESD protection and low Total Harmonic Distortion (THD).

The FSUSB11 switch is housed in a super-compact 10-terminal leadless MicroPak(TM) package that measures only 1.6mm x 2.1mm to optimize design flexibility in response to the growing miniaturization trend of portable equipment. Key features of the FSUSB11 USB analog switch include:

-- High bandwidth (350MHz) maintains signal fidelity;

-- Ultra-low additive jitter (less than 2% UI typical);

-- Low On Resistance (Ron) of 0.95 ohm (typical) reduces power consumption, extends battery run time;

-- Broad Vcc operating voltage range of 1.65V to 5.5V;

-- Low THD of 0.002% minimizes Total Harmonic Distortion placed on signals passing through the switch;

-- Greater than 8kV ESD performance for Human Body Model (HBM);

"Fairchild's new FSUSB11 device complements Fairchild's growing portfolio of USB and ultra-portable solutions, meeting design challenges in the consumer, industrial, medical and other fast-growth hand-held instrumentation markets," said Gerald Johnston, Fairchild product manager for analog switches.

Fairchild's analog switch portfolio includes audio amplifiers, LED drivers and LEDs for backlighting, supervisory products such as temperature sensors and reset generator circuits, and a variety of DC/DC conversion products including LDOs and MOSFETs.

These lead-free (Pb-free) products meet or exceed the requirements of the joint IPC/JEDEC standard J-STD-020B and are compliant with European Union requirements that will take effect in 2005.
