Fairchild made the announcement at the Bear Stearns 13th Annual Technology Conference in New York.
"Fairchild's focus on power solutions for multimarket applications enabled us to increase market share substantially, even during the economic challenges of 2001", said Hans Wildenberg, Fairchild's executive vice president of Worldwide Sales and Marketing.
"We concentrated our efforts on two things: first, key acquisitions including the Intersil power discrete business which boosted our presence in the automotive and industrial markets and secondly, on bringing new products to market to achieve new design wins with world class companies in computing, communications, consumer, automotive and industrial manufacturing.
Through this combination we were able to expand Fairchild's presence in both key geographic markets and the fastest growing end applications, significantly outpacing the competition".
Power discretes, which include power transistors in the Gartner rankings, represent the largest segment of Fairchild's power products mix accounting for 46% of overall revenues.
With a heightened focus on power components, including power discretes and power analogue, Fairchild now attributes close to two-thirds of its sales to power products.
Power products represent a $9 billion market segment in the overall $22 billion multimarket semiconductor industry.
