Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE: FCS) introduces the FAN2106, the
first product in a new family of TinyBuck� DC-DC buck regulators
that integrate an advanced analog IC, MOSFETs and a boot diode into
an ultra-compact molded leadless package (MLP). Measuring only 5mm
x 6mm, the FAN2106 is the industry�s smallest 6A, 24V-input
integrated synchronous buck regulator on the market today. This
highly integrated low-profile, small-footprint device consumes
approximately 50 percent less board space than discrete solutions
and facilitates greater design flexibility. Furthermore, the
FAN2106 achieves up to 95 percent power efficiency by converting
input of 3V through 24V input voltages to output voltages as low as
0.8V while delivering up to 6A output current. This compact,
easy-to-use, high-efficiency regulator is ideal in a broad range of
point-of-load (POL) applications. These include set-top boxes,
cable modems, in-cabin GPSs, portable medical equipment, LED
lighting, industrial instrumentation as well as ultra-mobile PCs,
notebooks and blade servers. �Fairchild�s TinyBuck all-in-one
module offers superior features that enable engineers to meet their
primary design challenges: saving board space, simplifying designs
and increasing power efficiency,� said Justin Chiang, vice
president of Fairchild�s System Power Group. �As the first product
in this new family, the FAN2106 integrates our latest DC-DC PWM
controller with gate drivers, advanced MOSFETs and a boot diode
into a tiny MLP package. Combining Fairchild�s power supply
engineering expertise in silicon design and state-of-the-art device
packaging technology, this product provides a complete silicon
power solution that further strengthens the company�s leadership
position as The Power Franchise�.� Key features of the FAN2106
include: �Wide input range: 3V to 24V. �Integrated module replaces
one buck controller, two gate drivers and two MOSFETs. �Saves 50
percent voltage-regulator real estate since TinyBuck�s MLP is
smaller than two SOIC packages. �Integrated boot diode minimizes
board space. �Programmable switching-frequency feature provides
design flexibility. �Under-voltage, over-voltage, over-current and
thermal protection circuitry increases reliability. �Built-in
selectable power-saving mode extends system battery life at light
load. The FAN2106 is available in an MLP lead (Pb)-free package
that 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$ $3.78
