Highly Energy Efficient Switcher IC for Automotive Use with Integrated System Level Protection for Low Component-Count Power Supplies
The LinkSwitch™-TN2 family of ICs for automotive power supplies provide significant reduction in component count compared to traditional discrete solutions making it highly reliable. The device family supports buck, buck-boost and flyback converter topologies. Each device incorporates a 750 V power MOSFET, oscillator, On/Off control, a high-voltage switched current source for self-biasing, frequency jittering, fast (cycle-by-cycle) current limit, hysteretic thermal shutdown, and output and overvoltage protection circuitry onto a monolithic IC.
LinkSwitch-TN2 ICs consume very little current in standby resulting in power supply designs that meet <50 mW no-load input at 400 VDC input. A full suite of protection features enable safe and reliable power supplies protecting the device and the system against input and output overvoltage faults, device over-temperature faults, lost regulation, and power supply output overload or short-circuit faults.
