Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE: FCS), a leading global supplier of high performance power and mobile products, has won the Power Systems Product of the Year Award at the annual Elektra Awards. Fairchild’s FSA9280A USB detection switch took the top honor in the Power Systems category, which judged entrants on power module and power supply innovations from the last 12 months, including new architectures, use of materials and packaging.
