Power Integrations Introduces Topswitchgan Ics Extending Flyback Topology to 440 W Power Integrations introduced a breakthrough in flyback topology extending the power range of flyback converters to 440 W—well beyond the limits that traditionally required more complex resonant and LLC topologies. The new TOPSwitchGaN flyback IC family unites the company’s PowiGaN technology with its TOPSwitch IC architecture, reducing complexity, eliminating heat sinks in many cases, shortening design time, improving manufacturability, and lowering total system cost. The new TOPSwitchGaN flyback IC family extends the power range of flyback converters to 440 W—well beyond the limits that traditionally required more complex resonant and LLC topologies. TOPSwitchGaN ICs provide 92% efficiency across the load range—from 10% to 100% load—and easily beat European Energy-related Products (ErP) regulations at less than 50 mW power consumption for standby and off modes. The device does this without the need for synchronous rectification. They are ideal for high-end appliances, e-bike chargers, and industrial applications. PowiGaN switches deliver much lower RDS(ON) than silicon. This results in reduced conduction losses which dramatically increase the power capability of flyback converters. These new devices incorporate 800 V PowiGaN switches, which provide excellent surge withstand capabilities and low switching losses, meaning that they can operate at switching frequencies of up to 150 kHz to minimize transformer size. No-load consumption is well below 50 mW at 230 VAC including line sense, and up to 210 mW of output power is available for 300 mW input at 230 VAC to run housekeeping functions when units are in standby mode. The new ICs are available in two styles. For ultra-slim designs, low-profile eSOP-12 surface-mount packaging enables 135 W (85–265 VAC) to be delivered without a heat sink for applications such as appliances. The vertical orientation of the eSIP-7 package minimizes PCB footprint and has a thermal impedance equivalent to a TO-220-packaged part. By mounting a metal heat sink using a simple clip, the extended power range is achieved for applications including power tools, e-bikes, and garage openers. Because TOPSwitchGaN ICs are pin-to-pin compatible with TinySwitch-5 off-line switcher ICs, designers can use the same methodology for applications spanning 10 W up to 440 W. Pricing for TOPSwitchGaN starts at $1.00 for 10,000-unit quantities. The following reference design materials are available: DER-1079 – this kit uses TOP7074K to deliver a 60 W, wide-range isolated flyback PSU for appliances; DER-1019 – this kit details a 356 W highline (89 V /4 A) isolated flyback industrial PSU, based on TOP7078E; RDK-1018 – this e-bike charger kit is a 168 W wide-range isolated flyback design using TOP7075E.

Power Integrations Announces InnoMux-2 Family of Single-Stage, Independently Regulated Multi-Output Offline Power-Supply ICs Power Integrations announced the InnoMux-2 family of single-stage, independently regulated multi-output offline power-supply ICs. InnoMux-2 ICs consolidate AC-DC and downstream DC-DC conversion stages into a single chip, providing up to three independently regulated outputs for use in white goods, industrial systems, displays and other applications requiring multiple voltages. Elimination of separate DC-DC stages slashes component count, reduces PCB footprint and increases efficiency by as much as 10% points compared to traditional two-stage architectures. Efficiency is aided by the ICs’ 750 V PowiGaN gallium-nitride transistors, zero-voltage switching (without an active clamp) and synchronous rectification. InnoMux-2 ICs deliver up to 90 watts of output power with accurate regulation of better than ±3% across the full input line, load, temperature and differential current step conditions. Total power system efficiency (AC to regulated low-voltage DC segment) is above 90%; the advanced InnoMux-2 controller also manages light-load power delivery, avoiding the need for pre-load resistors and reducing no-load consumption to less than 30 mW. This conserves power for necessary functionality in applications subject to the 300 mW allowance for standby usage under the European energy-using product (EuP) regulations. InnoMux-2 devices leverage Power Integrations’ thermally efficient InSOP24 and InSOP28 packages with PCB cooling, so no heatsink is required. Device options include dual- and three-output constant voltage (CV); optionally, one output may be dedicated to constant current (CC) drive, suitable for powering LEDs in displays or for high-speed charging of an internal battery. Typical applications include TVs, monitors, appliances, networking, home and building automation, LED emergency lighting and industrial power supplies.
