Power Integrations LinkSwitch TNZ energy efficient off line switch ICs

Mondo Technology Updated on 2024-02-09

It has best-in-class light-load efficiency and non-destructive AC zero-crossing detection

Power Integrations LinkSwitch-TNZ family ICs combine power conversion with lossless generation of AC zero-crossing signals and are typically used for system clock and timing functions. Designs using the highly integrated LinkSwitch-TNZ IC are more flexible than discrete solutions, reducing the number of components by 40% or more. In addition to achieving 80+ efficiency in a low-power flyback design, the very low power consumption at light loads via on/off control allows more functions (displays, wireless connectivity, sensors, etc.) to be active during system standby. The device family supports buck, buck-boost, and flyback converter topologies.

Each device integrates a 725 V power MOSFET, an oscillator, a current source for self-biased high-voltage switching, frequency modulation, fast (cycle-by-cycle) current limiting, hysteresis thermal shutdown, and output and input overvoltage protection circuitry on a monolithic IC.

The LinkSwitch-TNZ IC consumes less than 100 A in standby, enabling power supply designs to meet global no-load and standby regulations. The MOSFET current limit mode can be selected by the capacitance value of the Bypass pin. The high current-limit level provides the maximum continuous output current, while the low level allows the use of small, low-cost surface-mount inductors. A full suite of protection features enables a safe and reliable power supply that protects equipment and systems from input and output overvoltage faults, device overtemperature faults, loss of regulation, and power output overload or short circuit faults.
