Fairchild enters the LVT market to meet customer demand for a stable supply of bushold and non-bushold LVT products, dramatically expanding Fairchild's access to the total available market for off-board driving applications such as backplanes, memory arrays, networks and telecom switches.
Fairchild successfully completes the acquisition of Samsung's Power Device Division, giving the company a complete line of Power Discrete devices and a broad line of industry-standard analog components. Fairchild's multi-market portfolio now include the top 100 highest volume analog products, as well as the most comprehensive portfolio of Discrete power products.

Fairchild’s open cell planar MOSFETs technology supports best-in-industry performance when used in power system design. The QFET technology features improved on-resistance, minimized gate charge and very high dv/dt capability resulting in improved ruggedness.

Fairchild’s Power Switch Technology (SPS) combines a pulse width modulation (PWM) IC and a SenseFET in one package for off-line power switching. The Power Switch solutions provide protection functions resulting in increased reliability while minimizing costs due to reduced part count.

Fairchild’s IGBTs are power translators using a combination of both bipolar and MOSFET technology resulting in a device with low on-state losses that is easy to drive. IGBTs are specifically suited to higher power applications where the conduction losses of a MOSFET begin to become prohibitive.
