About this manual

The document details the ViPer15 demonstration board, which integrates a PWM controller and an 800 V avalanche rugged vertical power MOSFET. It is designed for offline power converters with a wide input voltage range of 90 to 265 Vac, supporting output voltages up to 12 V and currents up to 0.5 A. The board utilizes a quasi-resonant flyback approach to minimize turn-on losses and reduce EMI.
