Description
These N-Channel enhancement mode power field effect
transistors are produced using Fairchild’s proprietary, planar
stripe, DMOS technology.
This advance technology has been especially tailored to
minimize on-state resistance, provide superior switching
performance, and withstand high energy pulse in the avalanche
and commutation mode. These devices are well suited for high
efficient switching mode power supplies and active power factor
correction.

ANTI-COUNTERFEITING POLICY
Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation’s Anti-Counterfeiting Policy. Fairchild’s Anti-Counterfeiting Policy is also stated on our external website,
www.Fairchildsemi.com, under Sales Support
Counterfeiting of semiconductor parts is a growing problem in the industry. All manufactures of semiconductor products are exper iencing counterfeiting of their
parts. Customers who inadvertently purchase counterfeit parts experience many problems such as loss of br and reputatio n, substa ndard perfo rmance, fail ed
application, and increased cost of production and manufacturing delays. Fairchild is taking strong measures to pro tect ourselves and our customers from the
proliferation of counterfeit parts. Fairchild strongly encourages customers to purchase Fairchil d parts eith er directly from Fairch ild or from Authorized Fairchi ld
Distributors who are listed by country on our web page cited above. Products customers buy either from Fairchild directly or from Authorized Fairchild
Distributors are genuine parts, have full traceability, meet Fairchild’s quality standards for handing and storage and provide access to Fairchild’s full range of
up-to-date technical and product information. Fairchild and our Authorized Distributors will stand behind all warranties and will appropriately address and
warranty issues that may arise. Fairchild will not provide any warranty coverage or other assistance for parts bought from Unauthorized Sources. Fairchild is
committed to combat this global problem and encourage our customers to do their part in stopping this practice by buying direct or from authorized distribu tors.
