System Features
IPS18 – Ultra-Green Flyback Controller – ASIC Advantage
The new IPS18 Ultra-Green flyback controller is a power saving technology used in Switch
Mode Power Supplies to keep the power consumption to a minimum. It has been optimized
for SMPSs in the 2 - 25 Watts power range that remain connected to the mains wall outlet
with an active load, as well as for applications where an SMPS has to deliver a small
amount of power in "light load" conditions. It monitors the output power from the primary
and no secondary sensing circuitry is required, which also results in power and cost
savings. It incorporates a special circuitry called “HICCUP” that involves a counter and
other digital blocks which prevent delivering a high current to the load when overloaded.
It enters cycle skipping in “no load” or light load” conditions to reduce standby power
to a trickle. The IPS18 can be used in applications where the input voltage ranges from
12 to 400Volts. It also features adjustable frequency from 15 to 500KHz (operating at high
frequency reduces size and cost of magnetic and decoupling components), separate
P & N drive to simplify EMI control, line overvoltage protection and a thermal shutdown.
In most of the applications below 10 Watts it saves costly filtering components such as
X-Cap, Y-Cap. MOV etc...
HICCUP Mode and Protection Against Feedback Loop Failure
The IPS18 flyback controller offers a built-in overload protection called “HICCUP” and
a protection against feedback loop failure with a simple low-cost Zener diode.
(see ASIC Advantage HICCUP MODE FLYBACK CONTROLLERS flyer for details).
IXTY1R4N60P – PolarHV™ Power MOSFET – IXYS
PolarHV™ Power MOSFETs are designed with IXYS unique cell design and process
improvements that dramatically enhance the power handling capability and system
efficiency. These design and process changes provide “best-in-class” on-resistance, gate
charge, thermal resistance and power handling capability. The PolarHV™ line is offered in
500V and 600V versions, with current ratings to as high as 100A. Note that 800V and higher
versions are also in development.
DSS2-60AT2 – Schottky Diode – IXYS
IXYS Schottky diodes feature very low forward voltage drop and switching loss, providing
cost effective output recitification for switch-mode power supply applications. In addition,
the 175°C rated junction temperature and low IRM extend the useful range for many of IXYS
Schottky diodes. The DSS2-60AT2 is offered in the TO-92 to minimize board area and cost.
