Fairchild Semiconductor’s Next Generation Power Switch Series Meets 2013 ErP Lot 6 Standby Power Regulations With One Chip
October 03 2011 - 11:00AM
Business Wire
The power saving requirements of the 2013 EU eco-design
directive ErP (Energy-related Products) Lot 6 requires the maximum
power consumption of electronic devices in standby mode to be less
than 0.5W. This requirement remains a significant challenge for
auxiliary power supply designs in applications such as PCs, game
consoles and LED TVs.
Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE: FCS), a leading global supplier
of high-performance power and mobile products, introduced the FSB
series of AC regulators, the next-generation green-mode Fairchild
Power Switch (FPS™) to help designers meet the challenge of
achieving less than 0.5W power consumption in standby mode. By
incorporating Fairchild’s mWSaverTM technology, devices in the FSB
series dramatically reduce standby and no-load power consumption,
enabling conformance to all worldwide standby mode guidelines.
The FSB series integrates advanced current-mode pulse width
modulator (PWM) and an avalanche-rugged 700V SenseFET in a single
package solution allowing auxiliary power designs with higher
standby energy efficiency, reduced size, improved reliability and a
lower system cost than previous solutions.
An innovative AX-CAP™ method, one of the five proprietary
mWSaver technologies, minimizes losses in the EMI filter stage by
eliminating the X-cap discharge resistors while still meeting
IEC61010-1 safety requirements. mWSaver technology’s green-mode
function provides off-time modulation, which linearly decreases the
switching frequency at light-load condition to minimize switching
losses. Combined with the extremely low operating current, the FSB
series easily meets and exceeds the light load power consumption
limits.
Integrated protection features include programmable
cycle-by-cycle current limiting, internal open-loop protection,
built-in brown-in and brown-out protection, high and low line
compensation for constant power limit, over-temperature protection
with hysteresis, under-voltage lockout and over-voltage protection.
The FSB-series offers integrated MOSFETs with different current
ratings to cover up to 35W designs. The first product released in
the lineup is the FSB127H with 2A internal MOSFET. It is available
in an 8-pin dual-inline package.
Fairchild Semiconductor’s mWSaver technology offers
best-in-class minimum no-load and light-load power consumption to
meet current and proposed worldwide standards and regulations and
enables designs with reduced footprint, improved reliability, and
lower system cost.
