10 W offline switcher with 800 V avalanche-rugged MOSFET
The VIPER16LD integrates a 800 V avalanche-rugged power MOSFET and a PWM controller in a single 16-SOIC package, targeting auxiliary and bias supplies up to 10 W in flyback, buck, or buck-boost topologies. The 60 kHz fixed switching frequency with 70 % duty cycle ceiling suits compact transformer designs for 50/60 Hz line-powered converters.
Parametric deep-dive: supply range, protection, and temperature grade
The IC operates from an 11.5 V to 23.5 V Vcc supply, with a 13 V start-up threshold that ensures clean power-on from a bulk capacitor. Built-in fault protection includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting and thermal shutdown with hysteresis — no external sense resistor or OTP thermistor needed for basic protection.
Active production — sourcing and package availability
Available in a 16-SOIC (0.154", 3.90 mm width) surface-mount package, supplied in tube or tape-and-reel per order quantity.
