"Our Global Power Resource design centres also minimise part count and total cost, and we partner with our customers to implement these solutions in end product designs", says Rexin Wang, Vice President Technical and Applications Centre, Asia Pacific.
The strength of the Qingdao power design centre is its technical staff with years of experience in system design, extensive understanding of products and technologies, and solid experience in the industry working with customers to optimise system power.
Using Fairchild's power efficient products, the Qingdao Global Power Resource design centre leverages its expertise to provide solutions that simplify motor design, boost energy efficiency and reduce board space for applications such as high definition and LCD TVs, inverter types of air conditioners, and cellphone designs.
Fairchild's worldwide Global Power Resource network consists of power design centres, system application experts, online design tools, evaluation boards, tutorials, and joint research and development labs.
These design centres are staffed with system design experts who work closely with customers to solve their design challenges and speed their products' time to market.
To enhance and broaden support for its customers, Fairchild has integrated resources on its website with design, selection and educational tools for customers to access and optimise designs in real time.
Fairchild's customer-centric Global Power Resource design centres are located in: Germany; Korea; Taiwan; Shenzhen and Shanghai, China; and Texas and Illinois, USA.
In 2006, an additional centre will be opened in China, and three more will be added in Brazil, Japan and Korea, bringing the total number of Global Power Resource design centres to 12 worldwide.
