Fairchild Semiconductor's podcast
teaches PFC basics and applications
Fairchild Semiconductor has put up a podcast on Power Factor
Correction (PFC) teaching the fundamentals of PFC, types
of applications require it and country-specific regulations
outside of the U.S. that support the technology. While PFC
is not required in the U.S., ENERGY STAR and other specifications
in support of consumer incentives are discussed by Dr. Van
Niemela, Fairchild's worldwide technical marketing manager
for Industrial Power Conversion.
In this seven minute podcast Dr. Niemela outlines the environmental
goals of PFC and the role that Fairchild Semiconductor is
playing in PFC applications with its full line of both standalone
PFC controllers and PFC/PWM combo controllers. These controllers
offer crucial cost and energy saving solutions that address
the demanding requirements of a diverse range of medium
and high power Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) designs.
