An integrated power supply control IC with
the ability to deliver up to 280% power at
peak demands, has been introduced by
Power Integrations, leader in high-voltage
analogue ICs for power conversion.
IC meets occasional peak power demands
TinySwitch-PK is an innovative power IC
enabling more simple, more flexible designs
employing fewer components than
alternative discrete and integrated
solutions. Accordingly, the size, weight and
cost of designs are significantly reduced. It
employs an On/Off control method that is
highly efficient, easy to use, and provides an
extremely fast transient response; and
delivers peak power on-demand. |
A typical application for TinySwitch-PK is a
consumer products having a seldom-used
device such as the drawer mechanism in a
DVD player. This requires extra power for
short periods, while at all other times much
less power is consumed by the hardware.
Conventionally, all system components such
as transformers, output diodes and bulk
storage capacitors, must be specified to
cater for that occasional higher power
requirement. By contrast, TinySwitch-PK
automatically enters a special peak mode at
times of peak power requirement, in which it
derives up to 280% of the design power
level from the same power components.
TinySwitch-PK integrates a 700V MOSFET
with low-voltage control circuitry on a
monolithic IC and offers auto-restart, input
under-voltage and output over-voltage
protection, hysteretic thermal shutdown
and, to minimize EMI, frequency jittering.
Each family member has three optional
current limit values without the need for
additional pins or external components, so
that power supplies may be optimised for
highest efficiency or power output.
