Fairchild Semiconductor : (NYSE: FCS), as part of the global focus on energy savings, has developed a portfolio of pulse-width modulated (PWM) controllers : , which enable notebook power-supply designers to meet the stringent international energy-saving regulations.
These include the ENERGY STAR External Power Supply (EPS) version 2.0 requirement that mandates 87 percent average active-mode efficiency to obtain compliance.

To meet these requirements, Fairchild has developed integrated PWM controllers : , like the FAN6754 : , which offers designers high-voltage startup to improve energy savings at light load by 25 percent when compared to alternate solutions. It also eliminates external protection circuits by incorporating over-voltage, over-current and over-temperature protection plus brownout and line-compensation

functions.

Other advantages of Fairchild’s PWM controllers : include frequency hopping, which reduces EMI emissions by as much as 5-10 dB, and internal soft start (8 ms) to reduce voltage stress on the MOSFET at start up.

Additionally, Fairchild’s PWM controllers : incorporate several design features that lower the overall power consumption of notebook adapters, such as a proprietary green-mode function that provides off-time modulation to continuously decrease the switching frequency under light-load conditions.
Fairchild’s PWM devices offer a host of robust, accurate protection features built-in to protect the power supply : and the load from failure, all without adding external components or circuitry.

The FAN6754 : is part of a comprehensive portfolio of power products that improve efficiency to meet stringent energy efficiency standards, reduce component count, simplify design and improve power factor in today’s electronics.
