December 18, 2014, Seoul – (Fairchild Korea) Fairchild (NASDAQ: FCS), a global provider of high-performance power semiconductor solutions, has launched the 1200V Motion SPM® 2 module for high-voltage industrial applications.

The new smart power module, used in motors that account for more than 40% of global power consumption, realizes Fairchild’s vision of making the world cleaner and smarter by simplifying systems that use large three-phase inverter motors for high energy efficiency and enabling more reliable system designs by adding high thermal performance and complete protection features.

Fairchild’s latest SPM smart power module is an all-in-one solution that integrates power components into a miniaturized package to reduce board space and heatsink size, and is optimized for high-voltage designs up to 7.5kW.

Fairchild has used previously developed Direct Bonding Copper (DBC) packaging technology to provide 15% lower thermal resistance between junction and case than competitor solutions, and has also improved overall system reliability for smoother motor control in products such as pumps and factory automation systems, as well as industrial-grade heating, ventilation, and air conditioning equipment.

Kim Tae-hoon, Vice President in charge of developing Fairchild's high-voltage power products, stated, “The inverter system [depends on] load conditions “It can control motor speed and power, and can save 30% to up to 50% of energy compared to non-inverter systems that control at a fixed speed. To meet the environmental conditions required by our customers, we have launched the 1200V SPM® 2 Series, which offers industry-leading thermal performance and robustness while enhancing functionality to enable easy design,” he said.

The Motion SPM® 2 Series for 3-phase inverter design integrates the following features and functions into a single package.
