Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE: FCS) introduces another industry
innovation in SPM technology with the industry�s first SRM-SPM
power modules for driving two-phase switched reluctance motors
(SRM) in small motor applications such as vacuum cleaners. Switched
reluctance motors are an attractive alternative to AC drives due to
their high efficiency. The small motor industry is migrating from
single-phase to two-phase SRM motors due to their ability to
startup under difficult load conditions and the lower components
that these motors require. Each SRM-SPM module,FCAS20DN60BB and
FCAS30DN60BB, integrates two HVICs, one LVIC, four NPT IGBTs, four
fast recovery diodes (FRDs), two bootstrap diodes, a thermistor and
various protection functions in a single package. By integrating 14
fully tested power components in a compact 45mm x 28mm SIP package,
these products offer 40 percent space savings. This space
conservation allows vacuum cleaner designers to incorporate the
controller into the SRM assembly, and also improves design
productivity and manufacturability. System reliability is further
enhanced by incorporating protection features such as under-voltage
lock-out and short circuit protection into this thermally efficient
package. �Fairchild continues to provide cutting-edge, efficient
solutions that innovate today�s electronics. These SPM power
modules for two-phase switched reluctance motors are an example of
how Fairchild provides solutions that deliver excellent
performance, while minimizing design and manufacturing time,� said
Taehoon Kim, vice president of Fairchild�s Functional Power
Solutions. The SRM-SPM products offer the following key features:
-- Low-loss, efficient IGBTs and FRDs meet low electromagnetic
interference (EMI) requirements. -- Built-in HVICs offer a
single-grounded power supply, which simplifies designs. -- Built-in
bootstrap diodes reduce external component count and simplify
circuit layout. -- Built-in HVIC/LVIC offers high noise immunity
and protection functions. � � � � --High-side: Control circuit
under-voltage (UV) protection (without fault signal output).
--Low-side: UV and short-circuit (SC) protection through external
shunt resistor (with fault signal output). -- SIP package provides
extremely low thermal resistance and space savings. -- 1500VRMS/min
isolation voltage rating and very low leakage current improve
safety. Fairchild Semiconductor offers a full line of highly
integrated smart power modules that provide efficient motor control
for a wide range of energy-restricted applications. For more

FCAS20DN60BB and FCAS30DN60BB utilize lead-free (Pb-free) terminals
and have been characterized for moisture sensitivity in accordance
with the Pb-free reflow requirements of the joint IPC/JEDEC
standard J-STD-020. All of Fairchild's products are designed to
meet the requirements of the European Union's Directive on the
restriction of the use of certain substances (RoHS). Price (each,
