Description

The TinySwitch family uses a breakthrough design to provide the lowest cost, high effciency, off-line switcher solution in the 0 to 10 W range. These devices integrate a 700 V power MOSFET, oscillator, high-voltage switched current source, current limit and thermal shutdown circuitry. They start-up and run on power derived from the DRAIN voltage, eliminating the need for a transformer bias winding and the associated circuitry. And yet, they consume only about 80 mW at no load, from 265 VAC input. A simple ON/OFF control scheme also eliminates the need for loop compensation.

Product Highlights

Lowest Cost, Low Power Switcher Solution

• Lower cost than RCC, discrete PWM and other integrated/hybrid solutions

• Cost effective replacement for bulky linear adapters

• Lowest component count

• Simple ON/OFF control – no loop compensation devices

• No bias winding – simpler, lower cost transformer

• Allows simple RC type EMI flter for up to 2 W from

universal input or 4 W from 115 VAC input

Extremely Energy Effcient

• Consumes only 30/60 mW at 115/230 VAC with no load

• Meets Blue Angel, Energy Star, Energy 2000 and 200 mW

European cell phone requirements for standby

• Saves $1 to $4 per year in energy costs (at $0.12/kWHr)

compared to bulky linear adapters

• Ideal for cellular phone chargers, standby power supplies for

PC, TV and VCR, utility meters, and cordless phones.

High Performance at Low Cost
