A new series of AC-DC power conversion
ICs in the new eSIP-7C Eco-Single-Inline-Package, has been announced
by Power Integrations, the leader
in high-voltage analog integrated circuits for power conversion.
Introduced as the TOPSwitch-HX,
this new package exhibits the same low thermal impedance as the
traditional TO-220, yet stands less than 10mm above the PCB. This
is a function of the eSIP-based design, which reduces the overall
height of the power supply in support of increasing market demand
for slimmer electronic products such as LCD monitors, flat screen
TVs and set-top boxes.

In common with other Power Integrations products, the heatsink
attached to the eSIP package is at Source potential, and is therefore
electrically quiet without an insulating pad, greatly reducing system
EMI and assembly cost. Additionally, the eSIP package offers the
benefit of reducing power supply manufacturing costs. Creepage and
clearance, and therefore long-term reliability, is also improved
with the eSIP package, since the pin layout is optimized to increase
pin separation, and the stepped package design increases creepage
distance. An easy-to-use, low-cost clip cuts heatsink assembly time
and improves package to heatsink contact repeatability, ensuring
consistently good thermal performance. The clip-mounted eSIP passes
shock and vibration tests to IEC 60068.
