FCS Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc. (MM)

Fairchild Semiconductor's (NYSE:FCS) FDC6020C was recently named an "Ultimate Product" by the editors and readers of EETimes and eeProductCenter. Introduced by Fairchild in December 2004, the FDC6020C is the smallest complementary MOSFET solution for point-of-load (POL) converter designs that deliver 1 amp continuous current. "Fairchild's FDC6020C integrates two MOSFETs into one ultra-small SuperSOT(TM)-6 FLMP (Flip-chip in a Leaded Molded Package)," said Mike Speed, Fairchild's communications segment marketing manager. "This is a significant packaging advancement since traditional solutions must use either two devices or a larger footprint package to offer similar high-performance specifications." In addition to saving space, the SuperSOT-6 FLMP enables the FDC6020C to achieve a junction-to-case thermal resistance (1 degree C/W) and junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (68 degrees C/W). The result is the highest possible current densities that simultaneously maintain optimum operating temperatures. Vince Biancomano of EETimes said of the winning product: "The device's low-threshold gate voltage also works to the designer's advantage in many applications." The excellent thermal and efficiency characteristics of the FDC6020C solution benefit products like set-top boxes, digital still cameras and hard disk drives.
