Bias/Primary Side PWM Controller
with Ultra Low Start-up Current
POWER MANAGEMENT
Description
The SC4911 is a highly integrated bias/primary side PWM
controller designed for off-line or isolated dc-dc convert-
ers in telecommunication and data communication ap-
plications. The high degree of integration minimizes the
amount of discrete parts needed and leads to substan-
tial cost and space saving converter designs.
The circuitry of the SC4911 includes line voltage UVLO
featuring startup current less than 50µA and program-
mable switching frequency. The device supply is derived
from an auxiliary winding on the transformer. The auxil-
iary winding could also provide output feedback informa-
tion if an optocoupler is not used.
