Load switches improve thermal
performance
Load switches integrate current-limited P-channel MOSFET with protection and control features to simplify design, reduce component count and minimise board space.
The FPF214X and FPF216X series of IntelliMAX advanced load switches from Fairchild Semiconductor feature superior thermal performance and full system protection for portable applications operating between 1.8 and 5.5V Available in 2 x 2mm green-compliant MicroFET MLP packages, this new series offers 45% enhanced thermal performance compared with traditional SOT-23 packages

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.
These highly integrated advanced load switches simplify design, reduce component count and minimise board space by integrating a 0.11ohm current-limited P-channel MOSFET with protection and control features, including thermal shutdown, controlled turn-on, reverse-current blocking and undervoltage lockout (UVLO).
"Fairchild's IntelliMAX integrated load switch solutions with higher current limits up to 1500mA and 2 x 2mm MLP packaging offer critical protection features and thermal efficiency for small-form-factor power management designs", says Chris Winkler, Marketing Director, Low-Voltage Power Segment.
"The latest portable applications, such as smart phones and integrated MP3/video media players, are packed with features that require additional battery-charging and auxiliary power supplied through a USB connector or other accessory interface".
"By integrating important functionality into an ultracompact MLP package, these advanced load switches are ideal for today's new slimmer and lighter portable electronics".
Fairchild offers the industry's broadest portfolio of IntelliMAX advanced load switch solutions.
These products provide a unique combination of protection and control features that reduce board space, component count and design complexity in power management designs.
These products utilise lead-free (Pb-free) terminals and have been characterised for moisture sensitivity in accordance with the Pb-free reflow requirements of the joint IPC/JEDEC standard J-STD-020.
All Fairchild products are designed to meet the requirements of the European Union RoHS Directive.
