Mobile device designers require a low power consumption, 2-bit voltage level translator to resolve mixed voltage compatibility issues in I2C bus applications in consumer devices and mobile phones. To meet this demand, Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE: FCS) has developed the FXMA2102 – a configurable dual-voltage supply translator and level shifter that translates voltage levels in I2C bus interface applications.

Staying updated on the latest technology is one of the challenges engineers face today. Fairchild Semiconductor is pleased to begin its seventh season of worldwide technical seminars starting in September. These one-day, comprehensive seminars provide power design engineers design techniques, product technologies and industry trends to develop energy-efficient applications.

As the mobile handset market continues to grow and smartphone usage and market growth become significantly more prevalent, designers are challenged to add functionality while reducing the form factor and components in the overall design. Responding to customer needs and these trends, Fairchild Semiconductor developed the FDZ3N513ZT – an N-Channel and Schottky diode combination in a small 1mm x 1mm footprint.

Space-constrained applications, such as handsets, glucometers and other portable devices that require illumination of LCD displays and keypads, now have a linear LED driver option that can save up to 60 percent board space compared to alternate solutions. The design of Fairchild Semiconductor’s (NYSE: FCS) FAN5622/24/26 reduces overall component count by eliminating additional passive components used in charge pumps and series boost LED drivers...

Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE: FCS), a leading global supplier of high performance power and mobile products, today announced that on July 30, 2010 it voluntarily prepaid its B-1 incremental term loan of $121.6 million. The incremental B-1 loan, under its existing senior credit facility, had an interest rate of Libor + 2.50 percent. At current interest rates, this reduction in debt saves approximately $3.2 million annually in net interest expense...
