Low-Power Off-Line SMPS Primary Regulators

Description

Allegro announces a new line of low-power off-line SMPS primary regulators targeted at the consumer electronic, industrial appliance and home appliance markets. Allegro’s STR-W67xx series includes quasi-resonant topology ICs designed for SMPS power supplies, showing lower EMI noise characteristics, especially at more than 2 MHz, higher than conventional PWM solutions. They utilize a soft switching mechanism to turn on the internal MOSFET at a close point to ground level (VDS bottom point) through the resonant phenomenon of a primary inductor and resonant capacitor. The bottom-skip function skips the first bottom of VDS and turns on the MOSFET at the second bottom point to minimize the increase of operational frequency at light output load, improving system-level efficiency over the entire load condition. Two standby functions reduce the input power at very light output load conditions; one is an auto-burst mode operation internally triggered by sensing on-time, and the other is a manual standby mode that is executed by clamping the secondary outputIn general applications, the manual standby mode reduces the input power most as compared to the auto-burst mode. The soft-start function minimizes surge voltage and reduces power stress to secondary rectifying diodes during startup sequence. Various protections, such as overvoltage, overload, overcurrent, maximum ontime protection and avalanche-guaranteed MOSFET, secure good system-level reliability.
