Switching Regulator is designed for SMPS applications.
Press Release Summary:
Series STR-X6700 is comprised of hybrid integrated circuits (HICs) with built-in power MOSFET and control IC designed for quasi-resonant type switch-mode power supplies. In normal operation, HIC promotes efficiency and minimal EMI noise with bottom-skip quasi-resonant operation during light output loads. Power consumption is also minimized by blocking (intermittent) oscillation during auto-standby mode on select models and reduced further in manually triggered standby mode.

Allegro MicroSystems Announces New Switching Regulator Series
Various Protection Features Enhance System Level Reliability
Worcester, MA - November 20, 2009 - Allegro MicroSystems, Inc. announces a new series of hybrid integrated circuits (HICs) with a built-in power MOSFET and a control IC designed for quasi-resonant type switch-mode power supplies (SMPS). In normal operation, the HIC provides high efficiency and low EMI noise with bottom-skip quasi-resonant operation during light output loads. Low power consumption is also achieved by blocking (intermittent) oscillation during an auto-standby mode (not available in the STR-X6729, STR-X6759N, or STR-X6768N) and reduced even further in a manually triggered (clamping an output voltage) standby mode. This new series is targeted at the consumer, office automation and industrial markets.
The HIC is supplied in a seven-pin fully-molded TO-3-style package with pin 2 deleted, which is suitable for downsizing and standardizing of an SMPS by reducing external component count and simplifying circuit design.
Key features and benefits include the following:
This new series is priced betrween $4.70 and $5.00 (1K quantity) dependent on package type. All devices have a 12 week typical lead-time to market.
