San Jose, California – December 11, 2007 – Fairchild Semiconductor’s (NYSE: FCS) FPF218x and FPF219x series of advanced load switches provide 60 percent space savings, making them ideal for space-constrained portable applications. Packaged in a 1mm x 1.5mm wafer-level chip scale package (WL-CSP), these are the smallest load switches of their class, and retain the same low R_DS(ON) performance found in standard leaded-package devices.

These two series of IntelliMAX products offer integrated protection circuitry, including over-current protection, current blanking, reverse-current blocking, over temperature and thermal shutdown protection. Included in this series is a new feature called “Power Good,” which provides a logic source sense signal, and can be used to validate the presence of the power supply on the load switch’s input pin. All of these built-in features provide robust protection from the harshest of mobile environments.

The FPF218x and FPF219x series 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).

Price (each, 1000 pcs): FPF218x series = $0.78; FPF219x series = $0.84
