ON Semiconductor AND8098/D NCP1052 Low-Cost High-Voltage Buck and Buck-Boost Application Note
This document presents application circuits for low-cost, high-voltage (20 Vdc to 700 Vdc) non-isolated power supplies using the NCP1052 switching controller. The NCP1052 is an integrated 700 V/300 mA power switch designed primarily for isolated flyback converters but can be used for buck and buck-boost topologies to eliminate the need for optocouplers and transformers. The circuits support an output current of 100 mA with an output voltage of 5.0 V or above, achieving typical efficiencies around 65%.
