FCS Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc. (MM)

Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE: FCS), the leading global supplier of power semiconductors, today announced that the company�s products found at the core of many of today�s consumer, industrial, automotive and ultra-portable applications, will be on display at electronica 2006, hall A6, booth 161, being held in Munich, Germany, November 14-17. Fairchild offers a wide array of energy efficient, power management solutions that reduce total system costs while also complying with tightening energy regulations. Fairchild�s industry-leading power solutions deliver an 85% saving in standby power consumption of a typical mobile phone or PDA; a 67% saving in the power consumption of a notebook LCD monitor on standby; and a 19% saving in the annual power consumption of a washing machine. The company will feature advanced technologies for some of today�s hottest application areas, including industrial, lighting, consumer, ultra-portable and automotive. Industrial applications such as lighting ballasts, power and welding tools, and air conditioners in higher voltage ranges require thermally efficient, rugged and compact motor control. Fairchild will feature its leading selection of Smart Power Modules (SPM�) that simplify inverter drive motor designs while dramatically reducing board space and component count. Induction heating, dishwashers, refrigerators, vacuum cleaners, coffee machines, rice cookers and other consumer appliances also benefit from Fairchild�s comprehensive SPM product portfolio with a range of voltage options. The trend for electronic devices to pack more functionality into smaller spaces continues undiminished. Fairchild supports this trend by introducing new power devices in ultra-small packaging to help designers reduce system size and cost while maintaining the highest performance and optimizing available battery life. Europe�s automotive electrical market is growing rapidly, demanding innovative solutions that address ignition systems, LED exterior lights and other applications. Fairchild will showcase an almost endless choice of discrete devices for this market. These products include IGBTs and MOSFETs using proprietary technologies and advanced packaging, as well as standard and application-specific high power functional devices, signal path solutions for ignition systems, and LED drivers for external lighting.

Supporting figures for the examples quoted above. Mobile Phone Power used by a mobile phone/PDA on standby: 1.84 watts Power used by a mobile phone/PDA on standby with Fairchild's Green FPS� components: 0.29 watts Savings with Fairchild components: 1.55 watts If every mobile phone sold worldwide in 2005 was on standby 50% of the time and realized this 1.55 watt savings, enough power would be saved on an annual basis to supply power to approximately half a million households in Europe. Mobile LCD Power used by a notebook LCD monitor on standby: 3.09 watts Power used by the same LCD monitor with Fairchild components: 1 watt Savings with Fairchild components: 2.09 watts If every notebook sold worldwide in 2005 was on Standby 50% of the time and realized this 2.09 watts savings, enough power would be saved on annual basis to provide power to 53,225 U.S. households. Washing machine Power used annually by an average washing machine: 698 kilowatt-hours Power used annually by the same washing machine using Fairchild components: 565 kilowatt-hours. Savings with Fairchild components: 133 kilowatt-hours a year If every one of the 70 million washing machines produced globally in 2005 used Fairchild energy efficient products, the savings would be enough to power roughly 2,400 average Munich, Germany, homes.
