February 2008 Welcome to Fairchild's monthly newsletter! In this issue we highlight our latest products, articles and new information. Table of Contents New Products Seminars Application Notes New Collateral Events Fairchild in the News New Products Increase Efficiency in Power Supply Designs with Fairchild's Power-SPMTM Module The Power-SPM FPP06R001 is a highly integrated synchronous rectification module that increases power efficiency, system ruggedness and space efficiency in power supply designs. Incorporating two PowerTrench® MOSFETs and a high current gate driver in a compact transfer-molded package, this module simplifies board design, eliminates up to 10 discrete components and reduces board space by 20 percent. It provides 10 percent lower on-resistance and 16 percent lower stray inductance compared to discrete solutions, resulting in lower thermal dissipation and reduced voltage stress. Its high efficiency is instrumental in helping power supply designs meet next generation ENERGY STAR® requirements. Product Number BVDSS (V) ID (A) RDS(ON) (mOhm) Package FPP06R001 75 60 4.3 EPM15 Maximize Power Conversion Efficiency in DC-DC Power Supplies with Fairchild's 30V MOSFET The FDS8672S integrates a MOSFET with a Schottky diode using Fairchild's monolithic SyncFETTM technology. This MOSFET provides low RDS(ON) and a low gate charge to maximize power conversion efficiency. Packaged in compact SO-8 packaging, the FDS8672S is ideal as a synchronous rectifier for DC-DC converters, notebook VCORE low side switches and Point of Load (POL) switches.
