Dual-output buffer for DDR SDRAM modules
Fairchild Semiconductor has introduced a dual-output registered buffer for 184-pin, 2.5V PC200/PC266, 72bit-wide registered double data rate (DDR) SDRAM modules.
Bus hold makes logic more predictable
Fairchild Semiconductor has made a number of additions to its LCX family, the logic industry standard for 3.3V applications.
Fairchild's FSAM15SH60A and FSAM15SM60A products are 600V, 15A-rated intelligent IGBT modules complete with built-in dv/dt-controlled high-voltage integrated circuits (HVICs).
Packaged in very compact (60 x 31mm) ceramic-based DIPs, the FSAM15SH60A and FSAM15SM60A require approximately half the board space of conventional discrete solutions.
Taeduk Kim, Project Leader of Samsung's R and D Centre, commented: "By developing and providing these leading edge, integrated IGBT modules, Fairchild played an instrumental role in helping Samsung design power saving air conditioners with best-in-class efficiency".
Kim added: "Fairchild's engineering group, with its in-depth design experience, actively supported Samsung in successfully completing the design-in in a timely manner".
"The integrated HVIC eliminates the need for isolation and a negative bias for the IGBT gates", said Youngman Cho, Fairchild's Senior Marketing Manager for the Korean region.
"In addition, low-cost vector control can be achieved by using shunt resistors as sensors across each of the three N terminals of the SPM".
According to Alex Kwon, Fairchild's Samsung Account Director: "The SPM offers the manufacturing benefits of reduced system design and manufacturing time, high-yields in manufacturing, fewer components to order and stock, and lower field failure ratio".
Further design features of Fairchild's FSAM15SH60A and FSAM15SM60A DIP-SPM products include: optional built-in thermistor for temperature monitoring; adjustable short-circuit current protection using low-side sense-IGBTs; vector control correspondence due to three N terminals and short dead time of less than 3us; switching frequency up to 20kHz; inverter power rating up to 1.5kW at 200V AC input; optimised circuit protection and drive benefits comparable to low-loss IGBTs; and built-in high- and low-speed control for flexibility.
