The STR-A6169 is a PRC topology (fixed off-time) regulator
specifically designed to satisfy the requirements for increased integration
and reliability in flyback converters. It incorporates a primary control
and drive circuit with avalanche-rated 800 V power MOSFET.
Covering the power range from below 8 watts for a 230 VAC input,
or 5 watts for a universal (85 to 264 VAC) input, this device can be used
in a range of applications, from DVD and VCR players to ac adapters
for cellular phones and digital cameras. An auto-standby function
reduces power consumption at light load, while multiple protections,
including the avalanche-energy guaranteed MOSFET, provide high
reliability of system design. Devices with an increased output power
rating are the STR-A6151 and STR-A6159.
Cycle-by-cycle current limiting, undervoltage lockout with hyster-
esis, overvoltage protection, and thermal shutdown protect the power
supply during the normal overload and fault conditions. Overvoltage
protection and thermal shutdown are latched after a short delay. The
latch may be reset by cycling the input supply. Low start-up current and
a low-power standby mode selected from the secondary circuit completes
a comprehensive suite of features. The STR-A6169 is provided in an 8-
pin mini-DIP plastic package.

WARNING — These devices are designed to be operated at lethal voltages and energy levels. Circuit designs
that embody these components must conform with applicable safety requirements. Precautions must
be taken to prevent accidental contact with power-line potentials. Do not connect grounded test
equipment.
The use of an isolation transformer is recommended during circuit development and breadboarding.
