Description
The VIPER12A combines a dedicated current
mode PWM controller with a high voltage power
MOSFET on the same silicon chip.
Typical applications cover off line power supplies
for battery charger adapters, standby power
supplies for TV or monitors, auxiliary supplies for
motor control, etc.
The internal control circuit offers the following
benefits: Large input voltage range on the V
DD
pin
accommodates changes in auxiliary supply
voltage (This feature is well adapted to battery
charger adapter configurations), automatic burst
mode in low load condition and overvoltage
protection in HICCUP mode.
