Fairchild Semiconductor's Industry-Leading HVICs Save Space, Increase Reliability and Reduce Power Consumption in a Range of App

Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE:FCS) introduces industry-leading
high-voltage gate driver ICs (HVIC) that feature an innovative
common-mode dv/dt noise canceling circuit for achieving excellent
noise immunity. The FAN7383, FAN7384 and FAN73832 offer savings of
at least 50 percent PCB area compared to optocoupler or pulse
transformer-based solutions. Their high performance ensures
superior system reliability and energy efficiency when compared to
similar HVICs on the market. Fairchild�s HVICs are the optimal
solution for driving MOSFETs and IGBTs in a wide array of consumer
and industrial applications up to 600V. These include inverter
motor drives, switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) and electronic
ballasts. �Fairchild�s latest half-bridge gate drivers offer
designers the flexibility to optimize board space and system
performance according to their application�s specifications,� said
HK Kim, Fairchild�s vice president, Power Conversion product line.
�The feature set of these high-performance HVICs includes 8-DIP,
8-SOP and 14-SOP packages and also options for shut down, dead-time
control and short-circuit protection.� Industry-leading benefits
include: System reliability��Fairchild�s HVICs feature advanced
level-shift circuitry for industry-leading, high-side driver
operation with negative VS swings of up to -9.8V (at VBS = 15V).
This results in the devices� unique ability to eliminate an extra
diode, unlike other HVICs on the market. In addition, Fairchild�s
HVICs provide excellent noise immunity by utilizing a common-mode
dv/dt noise-canceling circuit; Power savings��These devices boast
the industry�s lowest quiescent currents for extremely low power
consumption, a particularly important feature in motor
applications; and Stable performance��Exhibiting the market�s
lowest temperature dependency, achieved by optimizing the internal
circuit design, these HVICs deliver full functionality at either
cold or hot ambient temperatures, which guarantees stable
performance in a wide range of applications. To further enhance
efficiency, these HVICs feature a floating channel designed for
bootstrap operation to +600V. They also increase reliability by
providing under-voltage lockout (UVLO) on both channels, and an
11-20V supply range for VCC. These lead (Pb)-free devices meet or
exceed the requirements of the joint IPC/JEDEC standard J-STD-020C
and are compliant with European Union regulations now in effect. �
