The Fairchild 220 C is a dual N-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) integrated circuit (IC) that was commonly used in a variety of electronic applications during the 1970s and 1980s. Some of its notable features include:- Dual MOSFET configuration, allowing for control of two separate devices with a single IC- Each MOSFET has a maximum drain-source voltage of 40 volts and a maximum drain current of 30 amps- Input voltage range of 4.5 to 18 volts- Logic compatibility with TTL and CMOS systems, with a typical power consumption of 200 milliwatts- Self-protection circuitry to prevent damage under extreme operating conditionsThe Fairchild 220 C was primarily used in industrial, commercial, and military applications where high levels of voltage and current were required for heavy-duty circuits, such as power supply regulation, motor drive circuits, and solenoid control. The dual MOSFET configuration also made it a convenient choice for the creation of differential amplifiers, voltage regulators, and other complex analog circuits.However, due to advances in MOSFET technology and the increased use of digital circuits, the Fairchild 220 C has largely been supplanted by newer devices with improved performance and power consumption. Nonetheless, the 220 C remains a significant part of the history of IC technology and continues to be used in certain niche applications where its unique features are still relevant.
