RS Components Announces Availability of New MOSFET Devices from Fairchild Semiconductor

OXFORD, England, April 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

            Seven new devices in DrMOS family deliver world-beating combination of

                leading-edge power performance in an ultra-compact package

    RS Components [http://uk.rs-online.com/web ] (RS), the trading brand of
Electrocomponents plc [http://www.electrocomponents.com ] (LSE:ECM), the world's leading
high service distributor of electronics and maintenance products, today announced
availability of seven new DrMOS MOSFET devices from Fairchild Semiconductor
[http://uk.rs-online.com/web/generalDisplay.html?id=spotlight/Fairchild&cm_mmc=short_url-_-Aug_10-_-fairchild-_-spotlight-Fairchild ]
(NYSE: FCS), a leading global supplier of high
performance semiconductor solutions for power and mobile products. The devices offer
high-current handling capabilities in an ultra-compact package leading to high PCB packing
density, superior to that of competitive products.

    The DrMOS family is Fairchild's next-generation, fully optimized and ultra-compact
integrated MOSFET-plus-driver power-stage solution for high-current high-frequency
synchronous buck DC-DC applications. The FDMF6820C
[http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/dc-dc-converters/7729152 ], for example, integrates a driver
IC, two power MOSFETs and a bootstrap Schottky diode into a thermally enhanced
ultra-compact 6x6mm PQFN package.

    The seven new devices, which include the FDMF6820A/B/C, FDMF6823A/B/C and FDMF6833C,
implement Fairchild's proprietary and patented PowerTrench(TM) MOSFET technology
[http://uk.rs-online.com/web/c/semiconductors/power-management-ics/mosfet-power-drivers/?sra=p ]
. PowerTrench technology provides clean switching and minimal ringing, and
significantly reduces the need for external snubber circuit components in most buck
converter applications.

    Key applications for the modules include: high-performance gaming motherboards;
compact Blade Servers; desktop computers; workstations; high-current DC-DC point-of-load
converters; networking and telecom microprocessor voltage regulators; and small
form-factor voltage regulator modules.

    RS currently holds inventory of approximately 1900 Fairchild parts and has recently
added more than 300 new products, all available from stock for same-day despatch.
