Fairchild Semiconductor Highlights LED Lighting and Medical Technology at Arrowfest
September 14 2010 - 11:01AM
Business Wire
Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE: FCS), a leading global supplier
of high performance power and mobile products, will meet with
engineers attending Arrow Electronics’ 22nd annual coast-to-coast
technology exhibition to highlight innovative lighting and medical
solutions.
The 2010 technology events will be held in Chicago, Ill.,
Chanhassen, Minn., Santa Clara, Calif., Toronto, Canada, Los
Angeles, Calif., and Boston, Mass. These technology sessions
address the needs of customers in each location based on the local
marketplace requirements and provide them with hands-on
demonstrations and technical information on the latest products,
solutions, tools and innovations. The innovative products featured
at Arrowfest are backed by Arrow’s world-class services, solutions
and technical expertise to effectively meet customer needs.
This year, Fairchild will focus on two key areas:
- Innovative LED lighting
solutions that maximize performance while reducing board space,
design complexity, and system cost. Fairchild’s extensive product
portfolio ranges from discrete to integrated circuit solutions that
contain PFC controllers, ballast control ICs, high-voltage gate
drivers and MOSFETs. In addition, its range of LED lighting
solutions benefit the environment and increase energy savings while
meeting the most stringent regulations.
- An extensive product portfolio
of analog and power functions for portable medical applications
that contribute to user satisfaction and market success and include
products for core power, USB, audio, interface, switching, logic
multimedia, RF power, and lighting. Fairchild’s technology
leadership in portable applications enables system designers to
solve their challenges of miniaturization, convergence and longer
battery life.
Arrowfest provides a forum for current and potential Arrow
customers to learn about the latest innovations in technology and
build valuable relationships with leading manufacturers and Arrow
representatives. Industry professionals attending Arrowfest each
year include: design engineers, original equipment manufacturers,
contract manufacturers, purchasing/procurement representatives, and
supply chain professionals.
Fairchild technologist Brian Kirkish will discuss the following
topics at Arrow’s Technology Seminars in Cleveland and Dayton, Ohio
for the engineering community:
- Basic principles of AC-DC
switching converters in flyback topologies
- Variations of the flyback
topologies such as quasi-resonant and resonant mode operation
- Primary side regulation,
constant voltage or constant current, as well as techniques to
drive LEDs
- Alternate topologies as well as
some non-isolated topologies
- PFC controllers, combo
controllers as well as single stage PFC-PWM controllers
- The fundamentals BCM (boundary
conduction mode) and DCM (discontinuous conduction mode) for PFC as
well as the potential drawbacks of each
- Other simpler methods for
improving power factor
Arrow Technical Seminars are hosted by Arrow at various
locations across North America. They feature well-rounded learning
modules that provide solutions to complex engineering design
challenges and in-depth technical presentations and demonstrations
along with hands-on training designed specifically to reduce
development time and enable a faster time-to-market experience.
