LNK3208G

Highly Energy Efficient Off-line Switcher IC with Integrated 725 V / 900 V MOSFET and System Level Protection for Low Component-Count Power Supplies

Applications

Product Details

The LinkSwitch™-TN2 family of ICs for non-isolated off-line power supplies provide dramatically improved performance compared to traditional linear or cap-dropper solutions. Designs using the highly integrated LinkSwitch-TN2 ICs are more flexible and feature increased efficiency, comprehensive system level protection and higher reliability. The device family supports buck, buck-boost and flyback converter topologies. Each device incorporates a 725 V / 900 V power MOSFET, oscillator, On/Off control for highest efficiency at light load, a high-voltage switched current source for self-biasing, frequency jittering, fast (cycle-by-cycle) current limit, hysteretic thermal shutdown, and output and input overvoltage protection circuitry onto a monolithic IC.

LinkSwitch-TN2 ICs consume very little current in standby resulting in power supply designs that meet all no-load and standby specifications worldwide. MOSFET current limit modes can be selected through the BYPASS pin capacitor value. The high current limit level provides maximum continuous output current while the low level permits using very low cost and small surface mount inductors. A full suite of protection features enable safe and reliable power supplies protecting the device and the system against input and output overvoltage faults, device over-temperature faults, lost regulation, and power supply output overload or short-circuit faults.
