RS Components introduces power semiconductors from Power Integrations
Distributor RS Components announces availability of two new ranges of power semiconductors from Power Integrations.
The LinkSwitch-TN2 family of offline switcher ICs and the HiperPFS-4 family of power factor correction ICs deliver energy efficiency and have integrated protection features.
The LinkSwitch-TN2 AC/DC converters offer load and line regulation and deliver high flexibility with support for buck, boost and flyback topologies. They are particularly suitable for engineers designing non-isolated offline switching power supplies for a markets such as appliances, metering and smart LED drivers, IoT and home and building automation applications.
LinkSwitch-TN2 ICs offer a selectable device current limit and have protection features such as auto-restart for short-circuit and open loop faults, which limits power delivery to three per cent of maximum. There is also output over-voltage protection (OVP), input over-voltage protection and over-temperature protection (OTP).
The HiperPFS-4 family of PFC controller chips is optimised for a high power factor and high efficiency across various load ranges, says RS Components. The devices eliminate the need for external current-sense resistors and their associated power loss. A 600V-rated MOSFET delivers a very small PFC stage form factor.
The controllers are suitable for high-power adapters and high-power LED lighting, as well as consumer and computing devices. They have greater than 95 per cent efficiency from 10 to 100 per cent load, less than 60mW no-load consumption at 230V AC and a power factor of greater than 0.95, achievable at 20 per cent load. The HiperPFS-4 family also complies to EN61000-3-2 Class C and D. Protection features include over-voltage, under-voltage lockout, over-temperature protection and cycle-by-cycle current and power limits for overload protection.
The LinkSwitch-TN2 offline switcher ICs and the HiperPFS-4 PFCs are shipping now from RS in the EMEA and Asia Pacific regions.
