Key Featrues

Wide Input Voltage Range (18V to 110V or 13V to 36V) - This feature allows the controller to operate across a broad range of input voltages, making it versatile for various industrial, telecom, and networking applications. It enhances flexibility in power supply design and ensures reliable performance in diverse voltage environments.
Current-Mode Control with Leading-Edge Blanking - This ensures precise regulation of the output voltage by simplifying control-loop design and improving transient response. It also reduces noise sensitivity, enhancing overall efficiency and stability in power supply systems.
Integrated High-Voltage Startup Circuit - The built-in startup circuit enables the device to draw power directly from the input supply (18V to 110V), eliminating the need for an external auxiliary power supply. This reduces component count and simplifies system design, especially in high-voltage applications.
Internally Trimmed 275kHz Oscillator - The fixed switching frequency reduces the size and cost of external magnetics and filter components. It also ensures consistent performance across different operating conditions, improving efficiency and reliability.
Soft-Start and Pulse-by-Pulse Current Limiting - The soft-start feature minimizes inrush current during startup, protecting components and reducing stress on the system. Pulse-by-pulse current limiting safeguards against overcurrent conditions, enhancing system durability and safety.
