* Motion Control: Fairchild will demo a complete motion control solution that includes an analog and digital integrated motor controller that provides a powerful motor control algorithm and a flexible user interface in a single-chip design. Included is the FSBB20CH60C, part of Fairchild's SPM® smart power module family, that provides single-supply IGBT gate driving capability with an integrated high-speed HVIC; the FPS™ FSL206MR integrated PWM controller; and the FCM820x series of three-phase sinusoidal BLDC motors for improved motor drive efficiency.
* Smart Meter: A smart meter solution demo will include the highly integrated FAN6300 PWM controller suitable for high-frequency operation (up to 190kHz) for flyback converters; as well as Fairchild's latest uni-directional smart relay drivers with integrated features, such as accurate timer pulses, that will save space, cost and make disconnect solutions safer and smarter.
* DC-DC Conversion: Fairchild experts will also demonstrate the GreenBridge™ FDMQ86530L quad-MOSFET with superior thermal regulation designed to dramatically reduce power loss in active bridge applications. Also on display will be Fairchild's latest mid-voltage Dual Cool™ package technology, ranging from 40-150V, the devices provide exemplary switching performance as well as low junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.
* Portable: Fairchild will also have on display innovative mobile semiconductor design solutions that lower power consumption, extend battery life, boost on-the-go performance and speed time-to-market.
Offering a unique combination of functional, process, and packaging innovation, coupled with exceptional power systems expertise, Fairchild offers high system-level energy efficiencies with advanced power semiconductors, integrated IC solutions and applications expertise. Come by booth 506 in hall A-4 and discuss your 1W-1200W power design challenges.

Energy Efficiency with Class D Amplifier Modules
Class-D switching amplifiers are helping audio designers create personal multimedia devices and home audio/visual systems that demonstrate how compact and stylish equipment can also deliver high sound quality and high audio output power. The key to this breakthrough, providing freedom from the large and bulky boxes housing traditional audio products, lies in the class-D amplifier’s high energy efficiency, which is typically around 90%. This allows designers to reduce or eliminate heatsinks as well as using smaller-sized PCBs and smaller components such as transformers, connectors and power supplies.
