Fairchild's Reference Design Page
Fairchild's July e-Calendar features computing applications. The most efficient computer option is the laptop computer, which typically
draws only 15 to 25 watts during use compared to the 150 watts used by a conventional PC and monitor, and its sleep
mode typically uses just a fraction of a watt. ENERGY STAR-qualified monitors use 90 percent less electricity than computer
monitors without power management, according to the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy.
Fairchild’s energy-efficient solutions for computing include:
- Green FPS™
- Integrated DC-DC controllers
- DrMOS
- MOSFETS, MOSFET drivers
- PFC controllers
- Backlight inverters
- Audio amplifiers
- Operational amplifiers
