FDMF6823A: Extra-Small, High-Performance, High-Frequency DrMOS Module

The XS™ DrMOS family is Fairchild’s next-generation, fully optimized, ultra-compact, integrated MOSFET plus driver power stage solution for high-current, high-frequency, synchronous buck DC-DC applications. The FDMF6823A integrates a driver IC, two power MOSFETs, and a bootstrap Schottky diode into a thermally enhanced, ultra-compact 6x6mm package.

With an integrated approach, the complete switching power stage is optimized with regard to driver and MOSFET dynamic performance, system inductance, and power MOSFET RDS(ON). XS™ DrMOS uses Fairchild's high-performance PowerTrench® MOSFET technology, which dramatically reduces switch ringing, eliminating the need for snubber circuit in most buck converter applications.

A driver IC with reduced dead times and propagation delays further enhances the performance. A thermal warning function warns of a potential over-temperature situation. The FDMF6823A also incorporates a Skip Mode (SMOD#) for improved light-load efficiency. The FDMF6823A also provides a 3-state 5V PWM input for compatibility with a wide range of PWM controllers.
