Fairchild Semiconductor's Global Power Resource(SM) Center Releases Industry's First Power Supply Reference Design for 400W Ecod

Fairchild Semiconductor�s (NYSE: FCS) system-power experts from the
Global Power Resource Center in Fuerstenfeldbruck, Germany have
developed the industry�s first power supply reference design for
400W ecodesigns. This power supply reference design shows how the
combination of two state-of-the-art products, the award-winning
Green FPS� power switch (FSFR2100) and Power-SPM� (FFP06R001) in
modular SIP-9 packages, creates an elegant and efficient design.
With efficiency at more than 92 percent, this design exceeds the 87
percent efficiency target proposed by the Energy Using Products
directive (EuP). Fairchild�s system-power experts incorporated
power modules for both the primary and the secondary side of the
power supply for improved performance, ease-of-design and a
reduction in overall system cost. These highly efficient power
modules reduce energy costs and reduce the size of the heat sinks
needed, lowering the overall system costs. The smaller module size,
together with the reduction in individual components necessary in
the design, lowers logistic costs and reduces mounting costs by
over 50 percent, offering a 25 percent space savings. For example,
five components per channel can be eliminated on the secondary
side. On the primary side, efficiency is improved by up to ten
percent compared to conventional hard-switch converter topologies.
With the emergence of new standards for energy efficiency,
Fairchild�s Global Power Resource Centers provide a valuable
service to customers who need innovative techniques and products to
solve efficiency challenges. Fairchild�s worldwide centers are part
of the company�s Global Power Resource initiative, offering system
power design, online design tools, evaluation boards, tutorials and
power seminars. To enhance and broaden support for its customers,
Fairchild offers these resources on its website with design,
selection and educational tools for customers to access and
optimize designs in real time.
