NCP1200D100R2G

Housed in SOIC−8 or PDIP−8 package, the NCP1200 represents a major leap toward ultra−compact Switchmode Power Supplies. Due to a novel concept, the circuit allows the implementation of a complete offline battery charger or a standby SMPS with few external components. Furthermore, an integrated output short−circuit protection lets the designer build an extremely low−cost AC−DC wall adapter associated with a simplified feedback scheme. With an internal structure operating at a fixed 40 kHz, 60 kHz or 100 kHz, the controller drives low gate−charge switching devices like an IGBT or a MOSFET thus requiring a very small operating power. Due to current−mode control, the NCP1200 drastically simplifies the design of reliable and cheap offline converters with extremely low acoustic generation and inherent pulse−by−pulse control. When the current setpoint falls below a given value, e.g. the output power demand diminishes, the IC automatically enters the skip cycle mode and provides excellent efficiency at light loads. Because this occurs at low peak current, no acoustic noise takes place. Finally, the IC is self−supplied from the DC rail, eliminating the need of an auxiliary winding. This feature ensures operation in presence of low output voltage or shorts. The NCP1200 implements a standard current mode architecture where the switch−off time is dictated by the peak current setpoint. This component represents the ideal candidate where low part−count is the key parameter, particularly in low−cost AC−DC adapters, auxiliary supplies etc. Due to its high−performance High−Voltage technology, the NCP1200 incorporates all the necessary components normally needed in UC384X based supplies: timing components, feedback devices, low−pass filter and self−supply. This later point emphasizes the fact that the NCP1200 does NOT need an auxiliary winding to operate: the product is naturally supplied from the high−voltage rail and delivers a VCC to the IC. This system is called the Dynamic Self−Supply (DSS).
