SAN JOSE, Calif.--(Business Wire)-- Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE: FCS) and Infineon Technologies, today announced a packaging partnership for their power MOSFETs in the MLP 3x3 (Power33 or S3O8) and PowerStage 3x3 packages. The compatibility agreement is in response to the need for supply security while balancing the drive towards best-in-class efficiency and thermal performance in DC-DC conversion. It takes advantage of the expertise both companies offer for asymmetric, dual and single MOSFETs for DC-DC applications from 3A to 20A. "Fairchild and Infineon have standardized the pin-out and have complementing performance levels, offering customers two sources for their high-efficiency design needs in the computing, telecom and server markets," said John Bendel, Fairchild`s senior vice president of Low Voltage Products. "This package alignment is staged to deliver performance leading products in a multi-source, industry standard package."
