NCP1251

The NCP1251 is a highly integrated PWM controller capable of delivering a rugged and high performance offline power supply in a tiny TSOP−6 package. With a supply range up to 28 V, the controller hosts a jittered 65 kHz or 100 kHz switching circuitry operated in peak current mode control. When the power on the secondary side starts to decrease, the controller automatically folds back its switching frequency down to a minimum level of 26 kHz. As the power further goes down, the part enters skip cycle while limiting the peak current. Over Power Protection (OPP) is a difficult exercise especially when no−load standby requirements drive the converter specifications. The ON proprietary integrated OPP lets you harness the maximum delivered power without affecting your standby performance simply via two external resistors. A latched Over Voltage Protection (OVP) is combined on the same pin. For ease of implementation, a latched OVP also monitors the VCC line. They offer an efficient protection in case of optocoupler destruction or adverse open loop operation. Finally, a timer−based short−circuit protection offers the best protection scheme, letting you precisely select the protection trip point irrespective of a loose coupling between the auxiliary and the power windings.
