Fairchild Semiconductor's IntelliMAX(TM) Series in Space-Efficient, 2mm x 2mm Green MLP Package Provides 45 Percent Improved Thermal Dissipation in Portables



FPF214X and FPF216X series of MLP-packaged advanced load switches provide full system protection for wireless, mobile and personal electronics operating between 1.8V and 5.5V

SAN JOSE, Calif.-July 24, 2007-Fairchild Semiconductor's (NYSE: FCS) FPF214X and FPF216X series of IntelliMAX(TM) advanced load switches feature superior thermal performance and full system protection for portable applications operating between 1.8V and 5.5V. Available in a 2mm x 2mm green-compliant MicroFET(TM) MLP package, this new series offers 45 percent enhanced thermal performance compared to traditional SOT-23 packages. These highly integrated advanced load switches simplify design, reduce component count and minimize board space by integrating a 0.11 Ohm current-limited P-channel MOSFET with protection and control features, including thermal shutdown, controlled turn-on, reverse-current blocking and under-voltage lockout (UVLO).

"Fairchild's IntelliMAX integrated load switch solutions with higher current limits up to 1500mA and 2mm x 2mm MLP packaging offer critical protection features and thermal efficiency for small form factor power management designs," said 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 ultra-compact MLP package, these advanced load switches are ideal for today's new slimmer and lighter portable electronics."

Key features of the FPF214X and FPF216X series include:
o Ultra-compact and thermally efficient 2mm x 2mm MLP packaging that improves thermal dissipation by 45 percent.
o Power "Good" signal to indicate stable output power signal for software management in power-sequencing applications.
o Integrated current limiting with fast limiting response time (5µs for nominal over current conditions) with fixed (up to 400mA) and adjustable current-limit options (up to 1500mA).
o Additional reverse-current function to protect against reverse-current flow conditions in accessory or battery-powered applications.

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.
