Fairchild Semiconductor’s Fully Integrated Power Supply Module Provides Advanced DC-DC Solution for Portable, Industrial & ...

Design and system engineers of consumer, industrial and medical
electronics employing low dropout regulators (LDO) have sacrificed
DC-DC regulator efficiency, which adversely affects the overall
efficiency of the design, in order to take advantage of an LDO’s
ease-of-use. Fairchild Semiconductor’s (NYSE: FCS) new power DC-DC
micro-module offers customers the ability to reduce board space,
reduce component count and improve the overall system efficiency of
their designs. Alternative efficiency improvement methods include
implementing a traditional DC-DC switching converter, which
requires in-house design capability and delays time-to-market.
The FAN4603 micro-module DC-DC buck solution, unlike a
traditional switching DC-DC implementation, integrates the passive
components and the DC-DC regulator into a single ‘solder-and-play’
module. As a complete package, this micro-module is a highly
integrated, robust DC-DC solution, reducing component count by at
least three components.
This device also allows designers to use an advanced,
high-frequency DC-DC solution in their end applications, taking
advantage of higher efficiency, robust DC-DC power, reducing the
footprint by 40 percent and simplifying layout and applications
validation testing, without lengthening design times and
qualification cycles, and shortening overall time-to-market.
The FAN4603’s proprietary architecture consumes very low
quiescent current and delivers ultra-fast transient response. With
quiescent current of 35µA typ. in standby mode, this solution is
able to provide best-in-class transient response, making it more
reactive to fast changes in load requirements.
The FAN4603 is housed in a 4mm x 2.5mm MLP package.
