POWER INTEGRATIONS LNK362DG

LinkSwitch-XT incorporates a 700 V power MOSFET, oscillator, simple ON/OFF control scheme, a high-voltage switched current source, frequency jittering, cycle-by-cycle current limit and thermal shutdown circuitry onto a monolithic IC. The start-up and operating power are derived directly from the DRAIN pin, eliminating the need for a bias winding and associated circuitry. LinkSwitch-XT combines a high-voltage power MOSFET switch with a power supply controller in one device. Unlike conventional PWM (pulse width modulator) controllers, a simple ON/OFF control regulates the output voltage. The controller consists of an oscillator, feedback (sense and logic) circuit, 5.8 V regulator, BYPASS pin undervoltage circuit, over-temperature protection, frequency jittering, current limit circuit, and leading edge blanking integrated with a 700 V power MOSFET. The LinkSwitch-XT incorporates additional circuitry for auto-restart.
