Fairchild Semiconductor offers designers of biometric sensor modules advanced load switches the industry’s lowest quiescent current.

The FPF2024, FPF2025, FPF2026 and FPF2027 are IntelliMAX advanced load switches that minimize the quiescent current and prolong battery life.

The switches have a quiescent current of 1µA and provide robust current limiting protection that prevents damage from adverse events associated with unexpected current surges.

The FPF202x series features a wide operating range (1.6V to 5.5V) to address the voltage specifications for biometric sensor modules found in laptops, ultra-mobile portable computers (UMPCs), smart phones and other portables.

The series combines protection, control and fault monitoring functions in compact packaging to reduce complexity in power management designs and accelerate time-to-market.

The FPF2024, FPF2025, FPF2026 and FPF2027 use lead-free (Pb-free) terminals and have been characterized for moisture sensitivity in accordance with the Pb-free reflow requirements of the joint IPC/JEDEC standard J-STD-020.

The switches are packaged in compact 1 x 1.5 WL-CSP packaging and bolstered with robust ESD protection (5.5kV).

Price: $1.49 each in 1000 pcs, with samples available now. Delivery: 12 weeks ARO
