Fairchild Semiconductor and Infineon Technologies Expand Compatibility Partnership for Power MOSFETs

Published:2012/2/8 1:17:00 Author:Phyllis From:SeekIC

Fairchild Semiconductor and Infineon Technologies announced the extension of their compatibility partnership to encompass Fairchild’s 5x6mm power stage asymmetric dual MOSFET package.

As part of a comprehensive portfolio of advanced MOSFET technology, Fairchild’s PowerTrench® power stage dual asymmetric MOSFET modules provide power designers with a wide range of solutions for mission critical high efficiency information processing designs.

This extended collaboration began in 2010 and is intended to provide customers supply chain security while balancing the drive towards best-in-class efficiency and thermal performance in DC-DC buck conversion. It takes advantage of the expertise both companies offer in asymmetric dual MOSFETs which can handle over 30A and increase power density.

Fairchild said the partnership with Infineon along with the standardized pin-outs helps to improve the value proposition of this product line and makes it more compelling to our customers.

Fairchild and Infineon have standardized the pin-out, providing customers a secure supply chain for their high efficiency design needs in the computing, telecom and server markets. This package alignment is staged to deliver performance leading products in a multi-source, industry standard package.

Fairchild Semiconductor is focused on developing, manufacturing and distributing semiconductor solutions to a wide range of end-market customers.
Fairchild’s focus on the power market, along with diverse end- market exposure and strong penetration into the growing Asian region provide the company with an excellent opportunity to provide customers the right solution for their design challenges.
