Growing populations and developing countries with increased access to today’s portable technologies will require high performance consumer, industrial, computer, and communication technologies that work faster and more efficiently while consuming less power.  And few companies offer more products for the management, conversion, distribution and minimization of power than Fairchild.

Industry trends lean toward lower output voltages, more power, tighter power regulation, and faster response to changes in load current. Battery management will require more accurate gauging  and management of a variety of chemicals; off-line switching will require under- and over-voltage protection; new backlight technologies will require higher power and better efficiencies; microprocessors will run from one-volt supplies yet consume two watts of power in portable digital appliances like personal digital assistants (PDAs) and digital cameras; and higher automotive electronic content will require faster, more efficient, more robust components.
