Nexperia<\/a><\/strong> announces the world’s smallest Secure Digital (SD) card level translator IC – NXS0506UP.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Housed in a 16-bump wafer-level chip-scale package the SD 3.0-compliant bi-directional dual-voltage level translator has a footprint measuring 1.45mm x 1.45mm x 0.45mm, 0.35mm pitch, 40% smaller than the previous 20 bump devices. The NXS0506UP also features integrated auto-direction control, EMI filter and IEC\u00a0 61000-4-2 ESD protection. It is designed to operate at clock frequencies of up to 208 MHz and data rates of up to 104 Mbps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comments Vikram Singh Parihar, senior product manager at Nexperia: \u201cWhile traditionally targeted for use in consumer devices such as smartphone handsets, notebooks, game pads, cameras and wireless access points, we are seeing adoption of the NXS0506 in-home medical devices and automotive systems. The NXS0506 is the industry\u2019s smallest SD 3.0 card level shifter that supports the ultra-high-speed SDR104 mode, helping consumers to experience the faster data rates offered by SD 3.0 memory card solutions.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new NXS0506UP SD card level translator also features integrated pull-up and pull-down resistors to reduce the BOM cost. Devices provide a direct connection to the latest host CPU\/SOC ASICs, and are easy to use because DATA and CMD channels are swappable without impacting functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vikram Singh Parihar adds: “Nexperia has been able to reduce the size of these new translators thanks to the use of newer process nodes and innovative wafer-level chip-scale package (WLCSP) which is discussed more in a new video. NXS0506UP SD card level translators are available now. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
