Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE:FCS) introduces PDP-SPMTM power
modules specifically optimized for driving plasma display panels
(PDP). These integrated modules are far superior to discrete
solutions when it comes to simplifying designs, easing
manufacturing time and costs and improving system performance.
Fairchild�s PDP-SPM offering consists of two Smart Power Modules:
the FVP12030 energy-recovery circuit module and the FVP18030
sustain circuit module. Each PDP-SPM integrates multiple pre-tested
HVICs, buffer ICs, IGBTs and diodes into a single thermally
enhanced 44mm x 26.8mm Mini-DIP package. As a result, PDP-SPMs
replace as many as 20 discrete devices with two compact modules,
allowing designers to use significantly less board space required
by discrete approaches while significantly increasing system
reliability and enhancing noise immunity. �Fairchild�s PDP-SPM
integrated power modules offer the easiest, most cost-effective and
high-performance solution on the market today for driving plasma
display panels,� says Taehoon Kim, vice president of Fairchild�s
Functional Power Solutions. �As the leader in power semiconductors
with a portfolio of unsurpassed breadth and depth, Fairchild was
able to choose, and integrate, the optimum combination of
components into each module. By reducing component count��and
therefore chances for component failure��our PDP-SPM solution
enhances reliability and results in better overall system
performance. In addition to offering design flexibility and faster
assembly, PDP-SPMs are backed by Fairchild�s expertise and design
support.� The FVP12030 module integrates twelve components: two
HVICs, two buffer ICs, two IGBTs and six diodes. The FVP18030
integrates eight components: two HVICs, two buffer ICs, two IGBTs
and two diodes. By integrating many diverse components into one
module, PDP-SPM products improve design productivity and
manufacturability. These advanced built-in power devices also
optimize driving characteristics. For example, the integrated HVICs
provide an opto-coupler-less, single-grounded power supply as well
as undervoltage lock-out (UVLO) protection to increase reliability,
while the buffer ICs offer sufficient current-driving capability
for PDP applications. In addition, the modules utilize advanced
transfer-molded packaging technology to further increase system
performance by providing excellent thermal resistance, an isolation
voltage of 1500Vrms (for 1 minute) and low-leakage current.
Fairchild�s PDP-SPM products are an example of the company�s
success in capitalizing on its existing product portfolio to create
new solutions that solve design challenges. These new products
expand Fairchild�s comprehensive Motion-SPMTM product offerings
that target inverter motor drive applications into the quickly
growing PDP market. Fairchild�s PDP-SPM products are available in
lead (Pb)-free packages that meet or exceed the requirements of the
joint IPC/JEDEC standard J-STD-020C and are compliant with European
Union regulations now in effect. Price (each, 1000 pcs): US$
