Fairchild Semiconductor's Green FPS Switch Manages 30W of Output Power without a Heatsink
SAN JOSE, Calif. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Fairchild
Semiconductor (NYSE: FCS) provides designers of LCD
monitors and TVs, set-top boxes and DVD players with a highly
integrated FPS
power switch in an 8-DIP package that can handle up to 30W of output
power without a heat sink. Eliminating a heat sink allows LCD monitors
to be slimmer and reduces the overall cost of the design. The FSFM300
is a highly integrated Green
FPS switch that combines a pulse-width-modulator (PWM) and an
avalanche-rugged SenseFET MOSFET into a thermally efficient and
cost-effective 8-DIP package. By incorporating a SenseFET into the
actual die, it reduces component count compared to alternate solutions
and saves valuable design time, while reducing overall system costs.
This SenseFET offers exceptionally low RDS(ON), delivering
high levels of efficiency for the overall design.
To ensure low standby consumption in power-sensitive
applications, the FSFM300
uses burst mode protection bringing standby power consumption to less
than 70~140mW depending on the selection of passive components at no
load and 265 VAC. Since many of these applications need to
operate during a wide variety of conditions, this power switch
incorporates strong protection features such as over voltage protection,
over load protection, advanced over current protection and internal
thermal shutdown to shut down the power supply safely in the event of a
failure or abnormal condition.
The FSFM300
adds to Fairchild's comprehensive portfolio of power switches (FPS ).
These highly integrated off-line power switches feature a fully
avalanche-rated SenseFET and current mode PWM IC with advanced burst
mode operation to meet low standby power regulations. These switches are
instrumental in simplifying designs and lowering costs in power-sensitive
applications.
