Rectifier module is ready for next Energy Star

Highly integrated synchronous rectifier module increases power efficiency, system ruggedness and space efficiency in power supply designs.

Fairchild Semiconductor offers PSU designers a Power-SPM module that increases efficiency in power supplies to meet stringent Energy Star requirements.

The Power-SPM FPP06R001 is a highly integrated synchronous rectifier module that increases power efficiency, system ruggedness and space efficiency in power supply designs.

Incorporating two PowerTrench MOSFETs and a high current gate driver in a compact transfer-moulded package, the Power-SPM simplifies board design, eliminates up to 10 discrete components and reduces board space by 20%.

It provides 10% lower on-resistance and 16% lower stray inductance compared with discrete designs, which results in lower thermal dissipation and reduced voltage stress.

Its high efficiency is instrumental in helping power supply designs meet next generation Energy Star requirements.

These requirements specify that power supplies must achieve 85% or greater efficiency at normal output load conditions.

"Fairchild is at the forefront of solving energy-efficiency challenges", says Donghye Cho, Director of Fairchild's Power Supply System Team.

"The Energy Star requirement for power supply units will soon increase to 88% minimum efficiency at the medium output load condition".

"This Power-SPM module will be instrumental in helping power supplies meet this requirement".

The FPP06R001 has lead-free (Pb-free) terminals and has 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's RoHS Directive.

Priced at US $5.00 each, samples of the Power-SPM FPP06R001 are available now.
