Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE: FCS) introduces the FDD8424H, a
complementary 40V MOSFET that provides Dual DPAK packaging and
industry-leading thermal dissipation to increase system
reliability, reduce board space and decrease overall system cost.
Optimized for half- or full-bridge inverter designs, the FDD8424H
is ideal for use in backlighting units (BLU) for LCD TVs, LCD
monitors, motor drives and lamp drives. Compared to alternative
solutions, the FDD8424H in Dual DPAK provides thermal resistance
that is five and 10 times lower than solutions using 8-lead and
dual SOIC (SO8) packages, respectively. In addition, the
integration of a P-channel high-side MOSFET and an N-channel
low-side MOSFET into a single package allows a common drain
connection within the device, simplifying board layout and reducing
design time. �Fairchild�s FDD8424H offers display designers the
ability to optimize the footprint and the thermal performance of
their inverter designs,� said Mike Speed, Fairchild�s marketing
manager for Communications and Consumer Products. �The optimization
of RDS(ON) and gate charge (Qg) in a Dual DPAK offers improved
switching performance compared to conventional SO8 solutions,
resulting in lower heat dissipation and increased efficiency. Also,
the FDD8424H provides 12 percent lower case temperature in
backlighting inverters while driving eight CCFL lamps.� Key
features of the FDD8424H include: �Combination of RDS(ON) and gate
charge (Qg) provides excellent switching performance.
�Best-in-class thermal resistance (Theta JC) is 4.1C/W for
N-channel, and 3.5 C/W for P-channel. �Half-bridge solution in one
package reduces device footprint and overall system cost.
�Integration of P-channel and N-channel MOSFETs with common drain
connection simplifies the layout. This lead (Pb)-free device meets
or exceeds the requirements of the joint IPC/JEDEC standard
J-STD-020C and is compliant with European Union regulations now in
effect. Price (each, 1000 pcs): US$ 0.69 Availability: Now
