SD card MUX operates three I/O levels

From Fairchild Semiconductor comes an SD card translating MUX that interfaces three different I/O levels between host and SD interfaces.

The FXL3SD206 multiplexes between three voltage levels and three parts, saving valuable board space and minimizing design complexity. This single device replaces a multiple chip solution in smart phone applications. With an optimal 24-pin UMLP footprint, this SD card MUX is suitable for space-constrained designs found in smart phones and other SD applications.

Samples of the FXL3SD206 are available now. Pricing starts at $0.39 each at 1,000 pieces. Delivery is eight weeks ARO.
