Fairchild Reimagines Design Support for Small Companies

September 04, 2014 by Jeff Shepard

Fairchild Semiconductor launched a new online destination designed to provide complete support for small businesses, inventors, engineers and entrepreneurs through their entire design cycle. Taking a new approach to empowering the large number of smaller companies that make up today's semiconductor customer base, Fairchild retooled its website with a focus on guiding innovators through the development of their products and services, and providing tailored tools and information to support them at any stage of the process with an on-demand, self-service approach.

“The semiconductor industry tends to focus on their largest customers, leaving smaller companies that are at the backbone of global innovation at a competitive disadvantage,” said Vijay Ullal, Fairchild’s President and COO. “The goal of the new website is to support the large number of smaller companies who are trying to design the next generation of innovative new products, no matter how complex their system needs.”

The design needs of smaller organizations can be quite different from larger ones that have access to a wider range of resources. Through this new online offering, Fairchild can better support this innovative community and maintain its commitment to delivering a unique combination of ground-breaking products, design expertise and manufacturing experience to help engineers push the limits of their system design.

The new www.fairchildsemi.com offers: Access from any preferred platform – from mobile devices to desktops; Easy-to-find and real-time evaluation of application notes, design tools and evaluation boards; Quick identification of the most appropriate product and tools from Fairchild’s expansive product offering; and Greater transparency into product availability and easy online ordering process for products.
