AC-DC converters

ST’s high-voltage AC-DC converters combine an advanced pulse width modulation (PWM) controller with a high-voltage power MOSFET in a single package. This makes them ideally suited for offline switch mode power supplies (SMPS) with output power spanning from a few to a few tens of watts. The VIPerPlus series (VIPer0P, VIPer122, VIPer222 and VIPer*1, VIPer*5, VIPer*6, VIPer*7, VIPer*8 families) features an 800 V avalanche-rugged power MOSFET and leading-edge PWM controller and consumes less than 4 mW for VIPer0P, 10 mW for VIPer*1 and 30 mW in standby for the others. It also comes with the largest choice of protection schemes and supports different topologies. The VIPer26K belongs to VIPer*6 family and integrates a 1050 V avalanche-rugged power MOSFET, suitable for cost effective 1-phase/3-phases smart meters, industrial systems and lighting power supplies. The Altair series has a built-in 800/900 V avalanche-rugged power MOSFET and a PWM controller specifically designed to work in constant-current/constant-voltage primary-side regulation (PSR-CC/CV). It means opto-less implementation, thus significantly reducing component count.
