Off-Line Switching Regulators simplify power supply designs.
Press Release Summary:
STR-W6250D series is comprised of current-mode PWM ICs that incorporate controller chips made by a high-voltage proprietary BCD process and avalanche-guaranteed MOSFETs. ICs also provide auto-burst mode operation and various functional integrations, including frequency jittering, bias-assist, externally activated shutdown protection, slope compensation, and ac input-independent OCP. These features help reduce external component count.
Original Press Release:
Allegro MicroSystems, Inc. Announces New Off-Line Switching Regulators
Reduce external component count saving space and design time while improving system-level reliability
Worcester, MA - January 11, 2008 - Allegro MicroSystems, Inc. announces a new family of off-line switching regulators targeted at the consumer and industrial markets. Allegro's new STR-W6250D series is composed of current-mode PWM ICs that incorporate both controller chips made by a high-voltage proprietary BCD process and avalanche-guaranteed MOSFETs. These elements allow power supply system designs that are highly reliable and simple, with fewer peripheral components. These ICs also provide auto-burst mode operation, lowering input power requirements at light loads, and improving efficiency over the entire load range and universal input range.
The STR-W6250D series is a higher-output version of our STR-A6200D series, including more functional integrations, such as: frequency jittering for EMI noise reduction, bias-assist, externally activated shutdown protection, slope compensation for continuous mode operation, and AC input-independent OCP to minimize the deliverable output power dependency on the AC input. These features reduce the external component count and save space, cost, and design time while improving system-level reliability.
Allegro's new series of off-line switching regulators is priced below:
- STR-W6251D $1.56
- STR-W6252D $1.65
- STR-W6253D $1.83
- STR-W6253MD $1.83
All devices are priced in quantities of 1,000 and have a 10-12 week typical lead-time to market.
