Fairchild Semiconductor has developed a family of low on-resistance 600V SuperFET MOSFETs specifically to address the DPAK (TO-252) device requirements of the latest ultra-slim, low-profile ballast applications. To minimize switching and conduction losses and meet system efficiency needs of these fast-switching lighting designs, Fairchild’s DPAK SuperFETs offer as little as one-third the on-resistance (0.6 ~ 1.2 Ohms) of traditional planar MOSF...

Fairchild has introduced key enhancements to its µSerDes technology. Using the same footprint and base architecture as its popular predecessor, the FIN24AC, the new FIN224AC offers enhanced ESD protection and reduced EMI.

Fairchild Semiconductor power expert Alan Elbanhawy will present two papers on how to achieve system power efficiency at IPEMC 2006. A premier power electronics and motion control event, the conference will be held August 13-16 in Beijing, China.

Fairchild Semiconductor power expert Alan Elbanhawy will present the paper “Parasitic Gate Resistance and Switching Performance” at the Maple Conference 2006 in Waterloo, Canada, July 23-26. This conference draws worldwide experts to offer insights and techniques in the effective and novel application of Maplesoft technology in their respective fields.

Fairchild Semiconductor has introduced a 1200V/15A NPT-Trench IGBT with the ability to withstand as much as 300mJ of avalanche energy in induction heating (IH) applications. This excellent avalanche capability helps ensure “rugged” fail-safe operation of the system during abnormal avalanche-mode conditions that commonly affect IH appliances such as microwave ovens

Building upon its established portfolio of WLAN power amplifiers, Fairchild Semiconductor has introduced its FMPA2151, a highly integrated dual-band WLAN power amplifier module optimized to increase performance and reduce PCB board footprint in the latest 802.11a/bg WLAN applications, including notebooks, digital cameras and portable handsets.
