The TinySwitch-4 family of off-line switcher ICs feature line-compensated overload power protection, and reduce the maximum overload power that can be delivered into the load over the entire ac-input voltage range. The devices incorporate a 725-V MOSFET that allows 80% de-rating for high reflected voltage and high bus-voltage designs. Efficiency of greater than 70% at 5% load enables designers to meet the European standby specifications scheduled to take effect in 2013.
The line-compensated overload power protection of the off-line switcher ICs suits PC standby and appliances where high current demands from the load may be indicative of a fault. The devices also feature latching output OVP configurable for fast ac-reset. The switcher is a scalable family of devices covering an extended power range up to 36.5 W, and is available in PDIP, SOIC, and eSOP packages. (contact company for price and availability.)
