Fairchild Semiconductor's Industry-Leading HVICs Save Space, Increase Reliability and Reduce Power Consumption in a Range of Applications.Newest Half-Bridge Gate Driver ICs Offer Innovative Common-Mode Noise Canceling Technique SOUTH PORTLAND, Maine South Portland is a city in Cumberland County, Maine, United States. As of the 2000 census, the city population was 23,324. Geography South Portland is located at (43.631549, -70.272724)GR1. -- Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :FCS FCS - Frame Check Sequence ) introduces industry-leading high-voltage gate driver ICs (HVIC HVIC High-Voltage Integrated Circuit ) that feature an innovative common-mode dv/dt noise canceling circuit for achieving excellent noise immunity. The FAN7383, FAN7384 and FAN73832 offer savings of at least 50 percent PCB PCB: see polychlorinated biphenyl. PCB in full polychlorinated biphenyl Any of a class of highly stable organic compounds prepared by the reaction of chlorine with biphenyl, a two-ring compound. area compared to optocoupler or pulse transformer-based solutions. Their high performance ensures superior system reliability and energy efficiency when compared to similar HVICs on the market. Fairchild's HVICs are the optimal solution for driving MOSFETs and IGBTs in a wide array of consumer and industrial applications up to 600V. These include inverter (1) A logic gate that converts the input to the opposite state for output. If the input is true, the output is false, and vice versa. An inverter performs the Boolean logic NOT operation. (2) A circuit that converts DC current into AC current. Contrast with rectifier. motor drives, switch-mode power supplies (SMPS SMPS Society for Marketing Professional Services SMPS Switching Mode Power Supply SMPS Switched Mode Power Supply ) and electronic ballasts. "Fairchild's latest half-bridge gate drivers offer designers the flexibility to optimize board space and system performance according to their application's specifications," said HK Kim, Fairchild's vice president, Power Conversion product line. "The feature set of these high-performance HVICs includes 8-DIP, 8-SOP and 14-SOP packages and also options for shut down, dead-time control and short-circuit protection." Industry-leading benefits include: * System reliability--Fairchild's HVICs feature advanced level-shift circuitry for industry-leading, high-side driver operation with negative VS swings of up to -9.8V (at VBS See VBScript. = 15V). This results in the devices' unique ability to eliminate an extra diode, unlike other HVICs on the market. In addition, Fairchild's HVICs provide excellent noise immunity by utilizing a common-mode dv/dt noise-canceling circuit; * Power savings--These devices boast the industry's lowest quiescent currents for extremely low power consumption, a particularly important feature in motor applications; and * Stable performance--Exhibiting the market's lowest temperature dependency, achieved by optimizing the internal circuit design, these HVICs deliver full functionality at either cold or hot ambient temperatures, which guarantees stable performance in a wide range of applications. To further enhance efficiency, these HVICs feature a floating channel designed for bootstrap operation to +600V. They also increase reliability by providing under-voltage lockout lockout, intentional closing up of a company, factory, or shop by an employer to prevent employees from working during a strike or labor dispute. The term lockout (UVLO UVLO Undervoltage Lockout UVLO Under Voltage Lock Out ) on both channels, and an 11-20V supply range for VCC An electronics designation that refers to voltage from a power supply connected to the "collector" terminal of a bipolar transistor. In an NPN bipolar (BJT) transistor, it would be +Vcc, while in a PNP transistor, it would be -Vcc. . These lead (Pb)-free devices meet or exceed the requirements of the joint IPC/JEDEC standard J-STD-020C and are compliant with European Union regulations now in effect.
