Fairchild Semiconductor's Motion-SPMTM Power Modules Maximize Space, Efficiency and Reliability in Home Appliances and Industrial Motors Up to 3KW



SAN JOSE, Calif.-September 4, 2007-Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE:FCS) introduces ten highly efficient, integrated Motion-SPM(TM) power modules for home appliances and industrial motors up to the 3kW power range. Integrating fully tested components--three HVICs, one LVIC, six NPT IGBTs, six FRDs and three bootstrap diodes--into a compact 44mm x 26.8mm Mini-DIP package, these Motion-SPM modules offer superior inverter-based control for energy-efficient three-phase motors. Replacing as many as 22 discrete components, these products are instrumental in reducing board space, decreasing manufacturing costs, speeding time-to-market and increasing system reliability.

"Fairchild continues to innovate its product offering by providing leading SPM® power module solutions," said Taehoon Kim, vice president of Fairchild's Functional Power Solutions. "We have integrated three bootstrap diodes with bootstrap resistor characteristics into currently available SPM modules to make a simpler and smaller board design possible, eliminating six additional external components. These modules feature NPT IGBTs that provide optimal trade-offs between conduction losses and switching losses and high guaranteed junction temperature to improve system efficiency and reliability. Fairchild's Motion-SPM power modules are ideal solutions for energy- and cost-restricted motor applications."

Key benefits of the Motion-SPM power modules include:

o Space and cost savings
- Motion-SPM modules in 44mm x 26.8mm Mini-DIP packaging replace 22 discrete components
- Built-in HVIC provides a single-grounded power supply for an optocoupler-less interface

o System efficiency
- Built-in NPT IGBTs provide optimal tradeoffs between conduction losses and switching losses (FSBB15CH60B (600V/15A): VCE(SAT), typ = 1.6V, EOFF, typ = 28µJ/A)
- Short dead time (FSBB15CH60B: tdead = 1.5µs); and

o System reliability
- Integration of 19 fully tested components
- High guaranteed junction temperature (TJ =150°C) and isolation voltage of 2500V
- Long short-circuit withstand time
- Under-voltage (UV), thermal shutdown (TSD) and short-circuit (SC) protection

These highly integrated devices utilize full molded or Direct Bonded Copper (DBC)-based package technology. A Motion-SPM product's innovative DBC-based Mini-DIP package provides extremely low thermal resistance (FSBB30CH60B (600V/30A): Rth(j-c), IGBT = 1.17°C/W).

These Motion-SPM products 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).
