Advanced quasi-resonant offline high voltage converter with E-mode GaN HEMT
The VIPERGAN65 high voltage converter is designed for medium power quasi-resonant zero voltage switching (ZVS) flyback converters. The device can provide up to 65 W output power over a wide range.
Its complete set of integrated features makes the chip extremely flexible and easy to use and ensures highly efficient offline power supply designs. The ZVS quasi-resonant operation with dynamic blanking time and valley synchronization reduces switching losses and maximizes overall efficiency at any input line and load condition. The advanced power management with low quiescent helps achieve low standby consumption, while the feedforward compensation minimizes variation in output peak power over the entire input voltage range.
The device includes output overvoltage protection, overtemperature protection, and overload protection to increase end-product safety and reliability significantly. The device also integrates brown-in/-out protection and input overvoltage protection (iOVP). All the protections are in auto-restart mode.
