Reduce solution size and standby power while maximizing efficiency in appliance applications with our flyback controllers

Our flyback controllers and converters help achieve high power density and efficiency in appliance applications, while also passing electromagnetic interference (EMI) compliance tests.

Benefits:

  • Valley switching to reduce switching losses and minimize current spikes when turning on the metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor.
  • Frequency dithering to reduce EMI filter costs and measured EMI noise.
  • Isolated (flyback) and nonisolated (buck) topologies.
  • FET-integrated features to further reduce external components, simplify power-supply designs and increase power density.
