The FDC5612 is a N-channel MOSFET produced using Fairchild Semiconductor"s proprietary PowerTrench® technology. It is designed specifically to improve the overall efficiency of DC-to-DC converters using either synchronous or conventional switching PWM controllers. It features faster switching and lower gate charge than other MOSFETs with comparable RDS (ON) specifications. The result is a MOSFET that is easy and safer to drive (even at very high frequencies) and DC-to-DC power supply designs with higher overall efficiency.
