Fairchild Semiconductor�s (NYSE: FCS) PFC-SPM products received a
�Power Device Product Award 2006� from Electronic Design &
Application World-Nikkei Electronics China (EDAW-NEC). Fairchild�s
PFC-SPM devices are designed for full-switching power factor
correction (PFC) in motor drive applications in the 3-6kW power
range and offer an energy-efficient, compact solution. Fairchild�s
PFC-SPM products were selected as winners by China�s major industry
publication because they: �Reduce layout parameters, increase
inverter stability, simplify design and shorten the development
cycle time due to a high level of integration. �Increase
reliability by offering under-voltage (UV) and over-current (OC)
protection. �Offer full functionality by incorporating temperature
monitoring and current sensing. �Provide power-saving features that
are expected to be widely adopted by end-users. Fairchild�s PFC-SPM
devices, the FPDB20PH60, FPDB30PH60 and FPDB50PH60, offer designers
a compact �green� solution ideal for air conditioners and
industrial inverter designs by increasing system reliability and
efficiency while reducing board space. Each PFC-SPM device
integrates two fast-recovery diodes, two freewheeling diodes, two
IGBTs, a gate-driver IC, a shunt resistor and a thermistor into one
thermally efficient 44mm x 26.8mm package. These highly integrated
modules save 50 percent board space compared to discrete solutions
and increase reliability with built-in protection features. They
also provide 99 percent power factor (typical) to meet the
mandatory PFC standard (IEC61000-3-2) and 40kHz switching operation
to mitigate power loss. The PFC-SPM modules contain power devices
in innovative packaging techniques that provide the bridgeless
active PFC topology in an energy-efficient package. This bridgeless
topology affords a more efficient PFC circuit as compared to the
conventional rectifier bridge plus boost converter approach. Other
PFC module products typically use a conventional bridge rectifier,
boost switch IGBT or MOSFET and boost diode. By utilizing the
bridgeless topology, a reduction in the number of diodes in series
with the power path is realized, which reduces conduction losses
and provides a more efficient circuit. Each PFC-SPM device also
includes a gate driver and temperature monitoring NTC resistor.
Fairchild�s PFC-SPM products are packaged in Direct Bonded Copper
(DBC)-based transfer-molded packaging technology. DBC is a
construction technique providing excellent electrical isolation and
thermal interface between the module�s power semiconductors and its
external thermal interface. SPM� Products In addition to the
award-winning PFC-SPM devices, Fairchild Semiconductor offers a
full line of highly integrated Smart Power Modules that provide
efficient motor control targeting a wide range of energy-restricted
applications. Motion-SPM� products provide complete
adjustable-speed motor drive control and fully integrated circuit
protection for ac motors found in appliance applications such as
washing machines, air conditioners, refrigerators and sewing
machines. Compared to discrete IGBT solutions, Fairchild�s
integrated Motion-SPM devices require less than half the board
space while providing low-voltage control and a high-voltage output
stage rated at 10~30A at 220Vac. Motion-SPM products are available
in DIP, Mini-DIP and Tiny-DIP packages. SRM-SPM products are the
industry�s first Smart Power Modules designed specifically for
driving single-phase switched reluctance motors (SRM) for vacuum
cleaners. Integrating a high-voltage IC (HVIC) and low-voltage IC
(LVIC), IGBTs, fast recovery diodes and a thermistor in an
ultra-compact (44mm x 26.8mm) Mini-DIP package with Direct Bonded
Copper (DBC) technology, these products offer significantly
increased thermal performance. This compact solution reduces power
circuit space by up to 40 percent, greatly reducing overall system
size while simultaneously enhancing reliability. For more
