IGBT offers low conduction losses
The FGH30N60LSD is designed to increase system efficiency while meeting low-frequency requirements.
Fairchild Semiconductor's 600V/30A IGBT, the FGH30N60LSD, addresses the need for low conduction losses in low-frequency (50~400Hz) industrial applications such as solar inverters, welding machines and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) Featuring extremely low saturation voltage, the FGH30N60LSD is designed to increase system efficiency while meeting low-frequency requirements

Dual-output buffer for DDR SDRAM modules
Fairchild Semiconductor has introduced a dual-output registered buffer for 184-pin, 2.5V PC200/PC266, 72bit-wide registered double data rate (DDR) SDRAM modules.
Bus hold makes logic more predictable
Fairchild Semiconductor has made a number of additions to its LCX family, the logic industry standard for 3.3V applications.
For further energy efficiency in industrial applications which are using both low-frequency switches and high switching frequency switches such as solar inverters, this IGBT can be combined with Fairchild's FCH47N60F SuperFET FRFET, a Mosfet that offers high operating frequency of up to 250kHz and extremely low on-resistance.
"Energy efficiency is one of the primary concerns of today's industrial applications such as solar inverters, welding machines and UPSs", says Donghye Cho, Director of Fairchild's High Voltage Functional Power Solutions.
"By tailoring our new IGBT to achieve extremely low conduction loss and then combining this product with our SuperFET Mosfet offering high switching frequency and low RDS(on), Fairchild demonstrates its ability to solve complex design challenges".
The FGH30N60LSD is a MOS-gated high-voltage switching device that combines the best features of Mosfets and bipolar transistors.
This device integrates a fast-recovery diode (FRD) to help designers reduce component count while further ensuring system reliability.
Uniting SuperFET technology with a lifetime killing process, the SuperFET FRFET offers improved body-diode characteristics, which enable operation at high switching frequency, extremely low on-resistance, excellent turn-off dv/dt immunity and low EMI.
All of these features increase system efficiency and reliability.
Fairchild's FGH30N60LSD uses lead-free terminals and has been characterised for moisture sensitivity in accordance with the Pb-free reflow requirements of the joint IPC/JEDEC standard J-STD-020.
All of Fairchild's products are designed to meet the requirements of the European Union's Directive on the restriction of the use of certain substances (RoHS).
