Description
This highly integrated PWM controller provides several enhancements to meet the low standby-power needs of low-power SMPS. To minimize standby power consumption, the proprietary Green Mode provides off-
time modulation to continuously decrease PWM frequency under light-load conditions. Green Mode
enables the power supply to meet even strict power conservation requirements.
The BiCMOS fabrication process enables reducing the startup current to 5 μA and the operating current to 3 mA. As a result, a large startup resistance can be used. Built-in synchronized slope compensation ensures the stability of peak-current-mode control. Proprietary internal compensation provides a constant output power limit over a universal AC input range (90 VAC to
264 VAC). Cycle-by-cycle current limiting ensures safe operation during short-circuits.
To protect the external power MOSFET from damage by supply over voltage, the SG6848X1 output driver is clamped at 15 V. The SG6848X1 controllers can be used to improve the performance and reduce the production cost of power supplies. The SG6848X1 can replace linear and RCC power supplies. It is available in DIP-8 and SSOT-6 packages.
