Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE: FCS), the leading global supplier of
high performance products that optimize system power, today
announced the addition of three analog development teams, with
approximately 25 individuals, to bolster its power analog business.
These teams bring an aggregate 479 years of analog experience to
Fairchild and will focus on developing next generation analog IC
solutions for both DC to DC and AC to DC power management
applications. "These highly educated and experienced design
engineers have joined over the last six months, and I'm confident
they, coupled with the other solid members of our Analog Products
Group, will drive our long term success metric of growing our
business between $450 to $500 million in analog revenues with 45%
to 50% margins," said Bob Conrad, executive vice president and
general manager, Analog Products Group. "I'm very pleased such
highly skilled teams chose Fairchild Semiconductor as their analog
employer of choice." Fairchild's three new development teams have
extensive process experience across bipolar, DMOS, CMOS, and BiCMOS
technologies, using analog, digital and mixed signal design
techniques. Additionally, they have experience in both system and
IC development in areas such as power supplies, power management,
high frequency communications, motor drivers, phase lock loop
products and high precision analog. The three teams are located in
Silicon Valley, North Carolina and New Hampshire - their members
holding numerous patents and having been widely published.
