Frequently asked questions

What is the main advantage of the VIPer22A for DVD power supplies?

It combines a high voltage MOSFET with current mode control PWM circuitry, resulting in a simpler, quicker, and less expensive solution with halved component count.

How does the VIPer22A achieve low stand-by power consumption?

It utilizes burst operation to skip switching cycles when the energy drained by the output load goes below a specific threshold.

What is the recommended method to clamp the drain voltage?

A zener clamp is recommended because RCD clamp circuits may allow the drain voltage to exceed the data sheet breakdown rating during overload or high line input voltage.
