STMicroelectronics L5991/L5991A Primary Controller Datasheet
The L5991 and L5991A are primary controllers developed in BCD600II technology designed for off-line or DC-DC power supply applications. These devices utilize fixed frequency current mode control and include features such as programmable soft start, IN/OUT synchronization, precise maximum duty cycle control, and a standby function for oscillator frequency reduction under light loads. The chips are available in DIP16 and SO16 packages.
