Please note: As part of the Fairchild Semiconductor integration, some of the Fairchild orderable part numbers
will need to change in order to meet ON Semiconductor’s system requirements. Since the ON Semiconductor
product management systems do not have the ability to manage part nomenclature that utilizes an underscore
(_), the underscore (_) in the Fairchild part numbers will be changed to a dash (-). This document may contain
device numbers with an underscore (_). Please check the ON Semiconductor website to verify the updated
device numbers. The most current and up-to-date ordering information can be found at

Description
The FAH4820 is a high-performance enhanced ERM
driver for mobile phone and other hand-held devices.
This device does not require a PWM signal to generate
vibration of the ERM; it is controlled by the drive level on
the HEN input. The ERM spins for the length of time that
the HEN pin is held HIGH, then stops when the HEN pin
is pulled LOW. The FAH4820’s register maps are
2
accessible via I C serial communication, which is useful
for higher or lower drive voltage across the ERM or if
