Ultra-compact next-generation integrated MOSFET plus driver power stages

Fairchild Semiconductor's Smart Power Stage Modules are now available from Mouser stock. The next-generation, ultra-compact, integrated MOSFET plus driver power stage solutions use proprietary DrMOS technology to deliver high efficiency, high power density and high switching frequency in applications such as synchronous buck DC-DC converters in high-performance computing and telecom. With an integrated approach, the complete switching power stage is optimized for driver and MOSFET dynamic performance, system inductance and power MOSFET RDS(ON). SPS modules use our high-performance PowerTrench MOSFET technology to reduce ringing, eliminating the need for a snubber circuit in most buck converter applications, says the company.
