Housed in SO-8 or DIP-8 package the NCP1200 represents a major leap toward ultra-compact Switch-Mode Power Supplies. Thanks to a novel concept the circuit allows the implementation of a complete offline battery charger or a standby SMPS with few external components. Furthermore an integrated output short-circuit protection lets the designer build an extremely low-cost AC/DC wall adapter associated with a simplified feedback scheme. With an internal structure operating at a fixed 40 kHz 60 kHz or 100 kHz the controller drives low gate-charge switching devices like an IGBT or a MOSFET thus requiring a very small operating power. Thanks to current-mode control the NCP1200 drastically simplifies the design of reliable and cheap offline converters with excellent audio- susceptibility and inherent pulse-by-pulse control. When the current setpoint falls below a given value e.g. the output power demand diminishes the IC automatically enters the so-called skip cycle mode and provides excellent efficiency at light loads. Because this occurs at low peak current no acoustic noise takes place. Finally the IC is self-supplied from the DC rail eliminating the need of an auxiliary winding. This feature ensures operation in presence of low output voltage or shorts.
