STR-S5708

The STR-S5707 and STR-S5708 are specifically designed to meet the requirement for increased integration and reliability in off-line quasiresonant flyback converters with indirect feedback. Each device incorporates the primary control and proportional drive circuit with a third-generation high-voltage bipolar switching transistor. Crucial system parameters such as maximum ON time and OFF time are fixed during manufacture. Local control circuit decoupling and layout are optimized within each device.

Cycle-by-cycle current limiting, under-voltage lock-out with hysteresis, over-voltage protection, and thermal shutdown protect these devices during all normal and overload conditions. Over-voltage protection and thermal shutdown are latched after a short delay. A primary-side error amplifier with reference is included to facilitate regulation from an auxiliary or bias winding of the power transformer. A versatile triple-level inhibit circuit includes the OFF time synchronization required to establish quasi-resonant operation. The inhibit function has also been expanded to initiate operation in stand-by mode in which the power supply delivers a small fraction of the steady-state output power. The dual requirements of dielectric isolation and low transient thermal impedance and steady-state thermal resistance are satisfied in an overmolded single-in-line power package.

Proven in substantial volumes, this device and its fixed-frequency counterparts represents a significant advance in off-line SMPS reliability growth and integration.
