Fairchild focused on developing systems that can optimize system performance

Fairchild (Fairchild Semiconductor) held a keynote speech on Asia Pacific president Guo Yuliang in Shandong city of Qingdao province's international consumer electronics industry summit. In his speech, Guo Yuliang stressed the importance of effective use of semiconductors to improve energy efficiency and to meet the requirements of China's latest energy efficiency labeling regulations. The summit reveals the latest developments and future trends in China's consumer electronics market.

Guo Yuliang said: "China is in a key period of high-speed economic growth, Chinese people sit up and take notice in the past few years, however, we are in the maintenance of social energy supply is also facing great challenges. China is the world's leading energy consumer, according to the u.s.. China Electrotechnical Society (CES) executive vice president Zhou Heliang has said that from now until 2020, China's power installed capacity will be significantly increased." Kwok said: "at the end of 2003, Chinese has 380 million kilowatts of electricity installed capacity, is expected by the end of 2005, this number will grow to more than 450 million kilowatts to 650 million kilowatts; in 2010 2020 more than 950 million kilowatts. The leadership of the State Development and Reform Commission Xu Dingming Energy Bureau pointed out that low energy efficiency is still an important problem facing China, because the overall energy efficiency is 33%, 10% lower than the developed countries; energy consumption per unit output value is two times that of developed countries. Therefore, the semiconductor industry must make great progress in improving the efficiency of energy management, to help China cope with energy demand."

In his speech, he stressed that the focus on the development of the Fairchild products can optimize the system performance, power and continue toward higher value and discrete simulation solutions, these will have a significant impact on energy consumption of China. He pointed out that the support of the Fairchild energy label recently launched its China regulations, for power conversion, control and minimization of semiconductor products leading the market, widely used in various types of electronic applications."

Guo Yuliang pointed out that China's electricity demand increased by 14% to $15% per year, including refrigerators and air conditioners and other white goods accounted for about 10% of the overall energy consumption, while in the summer this kind of energy consumption will increase by more than 40%. He said that China has now become the world's leading exporter of household appliances, in 2003 the proportion of exports of refrigerators for the total annual output of 29.4%; air conditioners were $34%.

He commented: "Chinese as the main global appliance exporter, must be considered in line with international standards. In addition, China's energy efficiency labeling regulations, which regulate local refrigerators and air conditioners, came into force in March 1, 2005, aimed at improving energy efficiency and reducing emissions of greenhouse gases."

To September 1, 2005, does not meet the standards for energy conservation products will be prohibited from sale, China Institute of standardization is high-energy consuming refrigerators market of about 15% will be eliminated.

"Due to rising energy costs, as well as more and more government regulations to set a more stringent power constraints, the market demand for efficient power devices gradually increased. Fairchild has green Fairchild Power Switch (FPS), IntelliMAX, SerDes load management devices, and intelligent power module integrated power module series of the industry's most comprehensive range from 50W to 3kW (Smart Power Module, SPM) series, plus the increase in our products and packaging of silicon integrated solutions for investment, and continue through the global power resource center to work closely with clients, which bring significant benefits for the industry and customers."

In addition, the, also shows that the energy saving of Fairchild Semiconductor devices can be realized, the air conditioner as an example, using an inverter with constant speed method can save the energy consumption of up to 40%. According to 2003 data, which is equivalent to an annual savings of 28 billion kwh in china. In the color TV, mobile phone charger, set-top boxes and VCD/DVD players, the use of green FPS flash power control standby power consumption, can achieve similar energy savings, saving 28 billion 800 million kwh per year. Guo Yuliang concluded: "products of the Fairchild Power range is very wide, covering the voltage from 1V to 1200V, current devices to 600 amperes from more than a. The consistent approach to design and manufacturing, coupled with the close cooperation of key accounts, continues to provide us with the knowledge and inspiration to solve design problems. Fairchild's power product sales accounted for 76% of total sales of the company, an increase of about 14% over the previous year, which further confirmed the status of the Fairchild Semiconductor in the market of 8.
