DESCRIPTION
The LX155x family of ultra-low start-up current
(250µA max), current mode control ICs offer new
levels of energy efficiency for offline converter
applications.
They are ideally optimized for
personal computer and CRT power supplies
although they can be used in any number of off-line
applications where energy efficiency is critical.
Coupled with the fact that the LX155x series
requires a minimal set of external components, the
series offers an excellent value for cost conscious
consumer applications.
Optimizing energy efficiency, the LX155x series
demonstrates a significant power reduction as
compared with other similar off-line controllers.
Table 1 compares the SG384x, UC384xA and the
LX155x start-up resistor power dissipation. The
LX155x offers an overall 4X reduction in power
dissipation.
Additionally, the precise oscillator discharge
current gives the power supply designer
considerable flexibility in optimizing system duty
cycle consistency.
The current mode architecture demonstrates
improved load regulation, pulse by pulse current
limiting and inherent protection of the power
supply output switch. The LX155x includes a
bandgap reference trimmed to 1%, an error
amplifier, a current sense comparator internally
clamped to 1V, a high current totem pole output
stage for fast switching of power MOSFETs, and
an externally programmable oscillator to set
operating frequency and maximum duty cycle.
The under voltage lock-out circuitry is designed to
operate with as little as 250µA of supply current
permitting very efficient bootstrap designs.
