Housed in SO-8 or DIP-8 package, the NCP1200 represents a
major leap toward ultra-compact Switch-Mode Power Supplies. Thanks
to a novel concept, the circuit allows the implementation of a
complete offline battery charger or a standby SMPS with few external
components. Furthermore, an integrated output short-circuit
protection lets the designer build an extremely low-cost AC/DC wall
adapter associated with a simplified feedback scheme.
With an
internal structure operating at a fixed 40 kHz, 60 kHz or 100 kHz,
the controller drives low gate-charge switching devices like an IGBT
or a MOSFET thus requiring a very small operating power. Thanks to
current-mode control, the NCP1200 drastically simplifies the design
of reliable and cheap offline converters with excellent audio-
susceptibility and inherent pulse-by-pulse control.
When the
current setpoint falls below a given value, e.g. the output power
demand diminishes, the IC automatically enters the so-called skip
cycle mode and provides excellent efficiency at light loads. Because
this occurs at low peak current, no acoustic noise takes
place.
Finally, the IC is self-supplied from the DC rail,
eliminating the need of an auxiliary winding. This feature ensures
operation in presence of low output voltage or shorts.

- No Auxiliary Winding Operation
