Fairchild Semiconductor International : Fairchild Semiconductor Showcases LED Lighting Solutions at Strategies in Light 2012

Demos Address LED Driver Applications

SAN JOSE, California - January 23, 2012 - At Strategies in Light 2012, February 7-9, 2012, at the Santa Clara Convention Center, Santa Clara, California, , (NYSE: FCS) a leading global supplier of high performance products, will demonstrate   LED driver applications, including the highly integrated PFCPWM controllers which allow designers to reduce BOM count, enable smaller lamp sizes, eliminate design complexity,improve overall lighting efficiency.

The single-stage primary side regulation (PSR) controller with power factor correction (PFC), TRIAC analog dimming compatibility, as well as the is an active PFC controller for single-stage flyback topology designs. The device supports both TRIACanalog dimming. Implemented with Fairchild's unique analog sensing technology, the device can achieve TRIAC dimming control without flicker over the full range of 0 to 100% light output.

The Smart Non-isolated Buck LED Driver with power factor correction (PFC). The device uses a digital technique that allows it to automatically detect the AC input voltage condition, allowing it to create a special internal reference signal that results in high power factor correction. The will also work from a DC input voltage condition, automatically sensing AC versus DC input voltage conditions. The traditional technique of using a transformer in an MR application incurs additional losses with the transformer conversion; this traditional inefficient method can now be replaced using the connected directly to a DC or AC off-line input.

Fairchild Semiconductor provides solutions for all lighting applications including linear fluorescent ballast, compact fluorescent ballast, LEDHID. Our extensive product portfolio ranges from discretes to integrated solutions that contain PFC controllers, ballast control ICs, high voltage gate driversMOSFETs. Other solutions, with information available at include:

PSR flyback solutions for LED lighting applications that are <20W: In these designs, small lamp size is criticalcost pressure is high. To address this, Fairchild's PSR technology provides TRUECURRENT™ technology distinct IP for leading-edge CV/CC performance in a multi-chip package option (7SOP/DIP) with the MOSFET included (1A/700V VDMOS ).

Fairchild's single-stage PFC flyback for 20~50W applications: These lighting applications require high power factor in a limited space, plus higher efficiency reliability than traditional solutions provide. Fairchild provides a CRM PFC PWM controller for single-stage flyback, ideal for 10~50W LED down lights 20~50W LED L-lights, that provide high efficiency by offering high power factor low THD performance without adding components thus lowering the BOM count. Additionally, no bulk capacitor is needed, which further extends the system lifetime.

PFC + QR Flyback Technology for <100W applications: Designers are faced with standard solutions that result in high BOM counts, high costlow system efficiency. To address this, Fairchild provides a QR flyback solution that provides high system efficiencyhigh reliability, with the CRM PFC front-end resulting in high power factorlow THD.

LLC half-bridge solutions for <400W: Theseapplications routinely have high BOM counts, high costlow system efficiencyreliability, as well as design complexity. To address these application challenges, Fairchild's LLC half-bridge solution is an integrated solution with three chips in one package. The solution features internal MOSFETs with fast recovery body diode (trr=120ns), with the high side gate driver included. The solution offers up to 300kHz operating frequency pulse skipping for frequency limiting under light load conditions.

With our commitment to energy savingsmeeting the most stringent regulations, we have developed innovative products that maximize performance while reducing board space, design complexitysystem costs. In addition, our Global Power ResourceSM Center comprised of online tools, FAEsregional centers staffed by power engineers, is the industry standard for customer design support.
