FAN7318M

Power Management - Specialized Overview

The FAN7318M is an LCD backlight inverter drive IC manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor, designed to control P-N half-bridge topology. It operates within a wide input voltage range of 6V to 30V and features high-efficiency single-stage power conversion. The device is housed in a 20-pin SOIC package (JEDEC MS013, .300" wide body) with a plastic/epoxy base material. It supports peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C and complies with RoHS standards as a lead-free component. The humidity sensitivity level is rated at 1.
