Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE: FCS), a leading global supplier
of high performance products that enable energy efficiency, has
been awarded Leading Product status in the highly respected
Electronic Design News China (EDNC) Innovation Awards 2009.
Fairchild’s FAN9612, a boundary-conduction mode (BCM)
interleaving power factor correction (PFC) controller, was selected
as a Leading Product in the highly competitive Power Device and
Module category.
“This is the fifth consecutive year that a Fairchild product has
been selected for an EDNC Innovation Award,” commented Benjamin
Tan, regional vice president, Sales and Marketing, China and SEA
for Fairchild on winning the award. “Our ongoing awards success can
be credited to our highly talented team of engineers and
underscores the depth of its knowledge, expertise and ability to
continually innovate. We are proud that EDNC’s judging panel and
readers selected the FAN9612 for this prestigious Leading Product
award. I’m sure that this latest success will drive our team even
further as it strives to design products that meet the very
specific needs of China’s electronics engineers.”
The award-winning FAN9612 achieves the industry’s highest AC-DC
power conversion efficiency with best converter protection for
power systems from 100W to 1000W. With the integrated control for
interleaving two BCM boost power stages, the PFC controller
provides power supply designers over 96 percent efficiency even at
low line and light load. Applications that the FAN9612 targets
include power supplies for digital TVs, desktop and entry-level
server computers, front-end telecom systems and industrial power
systems.
Ability to control two BCM power stages in parallel extends the
usable power range of the higher-efficiency and lower-cost BCM PFC
converters beyond 300W, and the interleaving provides ripple
cancellation and lower EMI, less component stresses and higher
reliability. Efficiency improvements come from the accurate valley
detection circuit and phase-management at light load capability.
Key protection features include programmable closed-loop soft-start
to minimize output voltage overshoot, power-limit and current-limit
protection per channel, and input voltage feed-forward function to
improve voltage regulation.
The EDNC Innovation Awards recognize innovation that has led to
either technology or product advancements. A panel of industrial
experts and EDNC's technical editors selected the finalists in this
year's competition. Readers then selected the winners through an
online ballot hosted on EDNC's website. Fairchild Semiconductor and
other award-winning companies were honored at a presentation
ceremony which was held on November 18, in Shenzhen, China.
“Winning this award is very rewarding because Fairchild team’s
efforts have been recognized by China’s design engineering
community. It’s also satisfying knowing that the FAN9612 (PFC)
controller delivers energy-conservation benefits that are integral
in helping our customers meet the latest energy-efficiency
standards requirements such as China’s energy conservation
certificate, which is designed in accordance with relevant Chinese
certification standards and technical requirements,” concluded
Tan.
