Fixed Frequency Current Mode Controller for Flyback Converters
NCP12400
The NCP12400 is a new fixed-frequency current-mode controller featuring the Dynamic Self-Supply. This function greatly simplifies the design of the auxiliary supply and the VCC capacitor by activating the internal startup current source to supply the controller during start-up, transients, latch, stand-by etc. This device contains a special HV detector which detects the application unplug from the ac input line and triggers the X2 discharge current. This HV structure allows the brown-out detection as well.
It features a timer-based fault detection that ensures the detection of overload and an adjustable compensation to help keep the maximum power independent of the input voltage.
