:FCS FCS - Frame Check Sequence ) announces new 100V, 200V and 220V N-channel UltraFET devices available in ultra-compact (3mm x 3mm) molded leadless packages (MLP (Meridian Lossless Packing) The compression technique used in DVD-Audio that provides the highest audio quality. It delivers two channels at 192 kHz with 24-bit samples or six channels at 96 kHz. ). These devices are ideal for primary-side switches in isolated DC/DC converter applications, such as work stations, telecom and networking equipment, where improving system efficiency and saving board space are mandatory design goals.

2610, boasts the industry's lowest Miller charge (3nC vs. 4nC) and the lowest on-resistance (218mOhms vs. 240mOhms) when compared with similar 200V MLP 3x3 devices on the market. These characteristics result in a 25 percent better Figure of Merit Noun 1. figure of merit - a numerical expression representing the efficiency of a given system, material, or procedure

"Fairchild now offers designers ultra-compact MLP 3x3 power switches with industry-leading performance," said Mike Speed, Fairchild's market development manager, communications. "We've combined the advantages of our PowerTrench[R] process and advanced packaging technology to enhance Fairchild's UltraFET portfolio. These products are especially tailored to meet demanding design challenges posed by today's DC/DC converter applications."

In addition to offering superior thermal and switching performance over similarly packaged MLP devices on the market, Fairchild's UltraFET devices consume 50 percent less board space than SO-8-packaged devices typically used in DC/DC converter designs. This package-size-reduction enables engineers to design smaller, higher-density DC/DC converters by reducing the MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) The most popular and widely used type of field effect transistor (see FET). MOSFETs are either NMOS (n-channel) or PMOS (p-channel) transistors, which are fabricated as individually packaged  footprint area and enhancing package thermal capability.

To complement this offering of three N-channel devices, Fairchild also introduces a 150V P-channel planar A technique developed by Fairchild Instruments that creates transistor sublayers by forcing chemicals under pressure into exposed areas. Planar superseded the mesa process and was a major step toward creating the chip.  UltraFET device, which is also available in an MLP 3x3. This device option offers designers a complete solution for their active-clamp switch topologies requiring both N- and P-channel MOSFETs.
