Company Profile on Fairchild Semiconductor International Inc.

Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc. designs, develops, and markets power analog, power discrete, and certain non-power semiconductor solutions worldwide. It products are used in consumer, communications, computer, industrial, and automotive products for applications, such as power conversion, regulation, distribution, and management. The company operates in three segments: Mobile, Computing, Consumer, and Communication (MCCC); Power Conversion, Industrial, and Automotive (PCIA); and Standard Products (SPG). MCCC segment provides analog and mixed signal integrated circuits (ICs) that monitor, interpret, and control continuously variable functions, such as light, color, sound, and energy; and interface products, which connect signals from one part of a system to another part of a system. It also offers signal path products, including analog and digital switches, video encoders and decoders, video filters, and high performance amplifiers. In addition, this segment provides power semiconductor solutions, including power discrete components, analog ICs, and integrated multi-chip and monolithic power solutions. PCIA segment offers power discrete semiconductors, analog, and mixed signal ICs, including Power MOSFETs, insulated gate bipolar transistors, rectifiers, functional power switches that perform power switching, power conditioning, and signal amplification functions in electronic circuits. The SPG provides standard logic devices, standard diode and transistor products, optoelectronic products, optocouplers, infrared products, and standard linear products, such as bipolar regulators, shunt regulators, low drop out regulators, standard op-amp/comparators, low voltage op-amp, and audio amplifiers. The company sells its products primarily to distributors, original equipment manufacturers, and electronic design and manufacturing services customers. Fairchild Semiconductor International was founded in 1959 and is headquartered in South Portland, Maine.
