Reach High Efficiency in Cell Phones, Datacards and Netbooks with Fairchild's 6MHz 600mA Synchronous Buck Regulator
The FAN5361, a 6MHz 600mA synchronous Buck regulator, delivers 91 percent peak efficiency in a compact 0.99 x 1.39mm WL-CSP package.
Minimize Conduction Losses in AC-DC Power Conversion Applications with Fairchild's SuperFET™ 600V MOSFET
The FCA47N60F is a 600V N-Channel MOSFET that uses an advanced charge-balance mechanism for low on resistance and low gate charge performance.
Drive High Speed MOSFETs and IGBTs with Fairchild's Half-Bridge Gate Driver
The FAN7392 is a monolithic high and low side gate drive IC that offers high current and low output voltage drop making these devices ideal for half-bridge inverters found in switch mode power supplies and high-power DC-DC converters.
Increase Efficiency in Power Supply Designs with Fairchild's 100V MOSFET
The FDMS86101, a 100V MOSFET packaged in 5mm x 6mm MLP Power56 packaging, is designed using Fairchild’s advanced PowerTrench® process that minimizes on-state resistance, while maintaining superior switching performance and ruggedness.
Save Board Space and Simplify Design in Smart Phones with Fairchild's SD Card Multiplexer
The FXL3SD206 multiplexes between three voltage levels and three parts, saving valuable board space and minimizing design complexity. This single device replaces a multiple chip solution in smart phone applications. With an optimal 24-pin UMLP footprint, this SD card multiplexer is ideal for space-constrained designs found in smart phones and other SD applications.
