Press Release Summary:
Integrating 1 driver IC, 3 power MOSFETs, and 1 Schottky diode, Models FDMF8704 and FDMF8704V come in 8 x 8 mm MLP package. Suited for applications such as servers that need to maximize efficiency, Model FDMF8704 is capable of operating at 1 MHz, eliminating passive components to reduce board space, while Model FDMF8704V features built-in voltage regulator block for applications with only 12 V rail available. RoHS-compliant units meet J-STD-020 standard.
Original Press Release:
Fairchild Semiconductor's New Driver Plus FET Modules (DrMOS) Reduce Power Losses by 14 Percent, While Saving over 72 Percent Board Space
San Jose, California; December 4, 2007; Fairchild Semiconductor's (NYSE: FCS) FDMF8704 and FDMF8704V optimize efficiency across high, medium and light loads in ultra-dense servers, blade servers, advanced gaming systems, small form factor desktops, media center PCs, graphic cards, networking and telecom equipment, and other DC-DC applications. Most computing applications do not run at 100 percent load all the time and delivering the right performance at the right current levels reduces power losses for these applications. Average power losses across the full operating range are reduced by 14 percent compared to conventional discrete solutions by using Fairchild's driver plus FET multi-chip modules, and these systems can more easily meet the demand for higher efficiency mandated by energy regulatory programs such as Energy Star.
The FDMF8704 and FDMF8704V are FET plus driver power stage solutions that integrate one driver IC, three power MOSFETs and one Schottky diode into an 8mm x 8mm MLP package, conserving valuable PCB real estate. The FDMF8704 is capable of operating at 1MHz eliminating passive components to further reduce board space and lower BOM costs. Compared to conventional discrete solutions, Fairchild's DrMOS saves more than 72 percent of valuable board space.
The FDMF8704 and the FDMF8704V are both based on the Intel® specification for DrMOS. The FDMF8704 maximizes efficiency through a low-impedance driver IC and Fairchild's latest PowerTrench® MOSFET technology. The FDMF8704 is ideal for applications such as servers that need to maximize efficiency. The FDMF8704V features a convenient built-in voltage regulator block for applications with only a 12V rail available.
"Fairchild is an industry leader in DrMOS solutions. Our extensive DrMOS portfolio provides designers with the flexibility to choose the right performance, at the right price, for the right application," says Roberto Guerrero, worldwide segment manager for Desktop, Server and Gaming products.
The FDMF8704 and FDMF8704V utilize lead-free (Pb-free) terminals and have been characterized for moisture sensitivity in accordance with the Pb-free reflow requirements of the joint IPC/JEDEC standard J-STD-020. All of Fairchild's products are designed to meet the requirements of the European Union's Directive on the restriction of the use of certain substances (RoHS).
