SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 25, 2001

Fairchild Semiconductor International (NYSE:FCS) introduces the FS6M07652RTC Power Switch (FPS), a highly integrated off-line power switch for LCD monitor fly-back power supply and AC/DC adapter applications.

This device integrates a SenseFET and a current mode PWM IC to minimize external components, simplify designs, and lower costs in the target applications. Featuring Burst Mode Operation for stand-by mode, the FS6M07652RTC lowers power consumption by reducing switching loss. Designs based on the FS6M07652RTC provide superior performance compared to discrete MOSFET/controllers or RCC switching converter solutions and offer the benefits of reduced board space, improved reliability (through various protection circuits) and lower power consumption in stand-by mode (through burst mode operation).

The FS6M07652RTC provides internal protection, including over-voltage, overload, thermal shutdown and over-current protection. Additional features include integrated fixed oscillator, under-voltage lockout, optimized blanking and gate turn-on/turn-off driver, and temperature compensated precision current sources for loop compensation and fault protection circuitry. The internal current sensing high voltage SenseFET offers a 650V minimum breakdown rating. Additionally, the FS6M07652RTC Power Switch comes in a space saving, TO-220F-5L package.

Price:            FS6M07652RTC              US$1.64 (1,000 pcs)
Availability:     Samples available now, production quantities in 8
                  weeks
Delivery:         8 weeks ARO
