LinkSwitch-LP
Lowest Component Count Switcher for Linear Transformer Charger Replacement

Typical Application
Description:
Lowest System Cost and Advanced Safety Features Provide Superior Performance over Linear and RCC
- Lowest component count switcher
- Very tight parameter tolerances using proprietary IC trimming technology and transformer construction techniques enable Clampless™ designs – decreases component count/system cost and increases efficiency
- Hysteretic thermal shutdown protection – eliminates the thermal fuse used with linear transformers or additional components in RCC designs
- Frequency jittering greatly reduces EMI – enables low cost input filter configuration
- Proprietary E-Shield™ transformer eliminates Y capacitor
- Universal input range allows worldwide operation
- Auto-restart reduces delivered power by >85% during short circuit and open loop fault conditions
- Simple ON/OFF control, no loop compensation needed
- High bandwidth provides fast turn on with no overshoot and excellent transient load response
Applications:
- Chargers for cell/cordless phones, PDAs, power tools, MP3/portable audio devices, shavers, etc.
- Standby and auxiliary supplies

Notes:
- Output power may be limited by specific application parameters including core size and Clampless operation (see the Key Application Considerations section of the LinkSwitch-LP Family Data Sheet for details).
- Packages: D: SO-8C, P: DIP-8B, G: SMD-8B. See the Part Ordering Information section of the LinkSwitch-LP Family Data Sheet for details.
- Minimum continuous power in a typical non-ventilated enclosed adapter measured at 50 °C ambient.
- Minimum practical continuous power in an open frame design with adequate heat sinking, measured at 50 °C ambient.
