Smaller MOSFETs deliver standard performance

Fairchild Semiconductor reckons the first of its new generation of PowerTrench N-channel MOSFETs is substantially smaller than competing devices.

The first of the new generation of PowerTrench N-channel mosfets from Fairchild Semiconductor delivers virtually indistinguishable overall efficiency in DC/DC convertor applications to that of leading competitive devices while achieving a substantial reduction in die size.

The significant reduction in die size, with a dramatic improvement in the QG X RDS(ON) figure-of-merit, has resulted in industry-leading cost performance.

The new FDS6694, SO-8 packaged, 30V fast-switching trench mosfet is designed for high-side applications in synchronous and conventional DC/DC convertors for notebook computers, desktop computers, and other DC/DC power supply applications.

Howard Chen, Director of Marketing for Fairchild said, "The PowerTrench technology pioneered by Fairchild has been the driving force behind significant performance advances in DC/DC convertor design.

The FDS6694 signals the beginning of the next stage in the evolution of Fairchild's trench mosfet technology and places Fairchild directly on target to provide total power solutions aligned with industry technology roadmaps over the coming years".

Samples and production quantities are available now.
