Fairchild's FDMC2610 High Performance UltraFET devices
Expanding its portfolio of power switch solutions, Fairchild Semiconductor has announced new 100V, 200V and 220V N-channel UltraFET devices available in ultra-compact (3mm x 3mm) molded leadless packages (MLP). These devices are ideal for primary-side switches in isolated DC/DC converter applications, such as work stations, telecom and networking equipment, where improving system efficiency and saving board space are mandatory design goals.
Fair“Fairchild now offers designers ultra-compact MLP 3x3 power switches with industry-leading performance,” said Mike Speed, Fairchild’s market development manager, communications. “We’ve combined the advantages of our PowerTrench® process and advanced packaging technology to enhance Fairchild’s UltraFET portfolio. These products are especially tailored to meet demanding design challenges posed by today’s DC/DC converter applications.”
In addition to offering superior thermal and switching performance over similarly packaged MLP devices on the market, Fairchild’s UltraFET devices consume 50 percent less board space than SO-8-packaged devices typically used in DC/DC converter designs. This package-size reduction enables engineers to design smaller, higher-density DC/DC converters by reducing the MOSFET footprint area and enhancing package thermal capability.
To complement this offering of three N-channel devices, Fairchild also introduces a 150V P-channel planar UltraFET device, which is also available in an MLP 3x3. This device option offers designers a complete solution for their active-clamp switch topologies requiring both N- and P-channel MOSFETs.
These lead (Pb)-free devices meet or exceed the requirements of the joint IPC/JEDEC standard J-STD-020C and are compliant with European Union regulations now in effect.
