Smart Power Stage (SPS) Module

The SPS family is Fairchild’s next-generation, fully optimized, ultra-compact, integrated MOSFET plus driver power stage solution for high-current, highfrequency, synchronous buck, DC-DC applications. The FDMF3037 integrates a driver IC with a bootstrap Schottky diode and two power MOSFETs into a thermally enhanced, ultra-compact 5 mm x 5 mm package. With an integrated approach, the SPS switching power stage is optimized for driver and MOSFET dynamic performance, minimized system inductance, and power MOSFET RDS(ON). The SPS family uses Fairchild's highperformance PowerTrench® MOSFET technology, which reduces switch ringing, eliminating the need for a snubber circuit in most buck converter applications. A driver IC with reduced dead times and propagation delays further enhances the performance. The FDMF3037 supports diode emulation (using FCCM pin) for improved light-load efficiency. The FDMF3037 also provides a 3-state 5 V PWM input for compatibility with a wide range of PWM controllers.
