Fairchild Semiconductor Offers Designers a Total Solution Portfolio for Low-, Mid- and High-Power LED Lighting Applications

With the increasing popularity of LED lighting applications, designers face challenges ranging from design complexity and the need for high system efficiency to limited PCB space and the management of multiple vendors to meet all of their design requirements.

To address these challenges, Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE: FCS), a leading global supplier of high performance power and mobile products, offers a broad portfolio of LED lighting solutions for low-, mid- and high-power lighting applications.

Fairchild’s solutions feature integrated components in a single IC, using highly efficient and effective technologies for power ranges that are 1W and above. Fairchild offers multiple topologies, which provide energy efficient solutions for low-, mid- and high-power lighting applications. These topologies provide high power factor and low total harmonic distortion, enabling extended system life and reduced lifetime cost while meeting global energy regulations.

The high degree of integration provided by these LED lighting solutions meet designers’ critical board-space requirements, simplify design and reduce the overall bill of material (BOM).

Designers work with lighting applications in areas such as down lights, L-lights, flat light, street lights, industrial lighting, stage lighting, wall washing and signage; the broad portfolio of products offered by Fairchild supports all lighting applications. This offering allows designers to simplify supply chain complexity by reducing the number of vendors required.

Leveraging core expertise in lighting and power management, Fairchild’s multiple topologies for LED lighting applications include Primary Side Regulating (PSR) flyback, single-stage Power Factor Correction (PFC) flyback, PFC + Quasi-Resonant (QR) flyback and LLC half-bridge solutions.

PSR flyback solutions target LED lighting applications that are
