VIPer17: Advanced solutions for
switch-mode power supplies

VIper17 VIPer17 Product page

The new VIPerTM plus family is introducing innovation and value for power supply solutions. The new products include the subfamilies VIPerx7, VIPerx8, VIPerx6 and VIPerx5.

The fi rst product on the market is the VIPer17, suitable for offl ine power supplies up to 6 W with a wide-range input voltage, and up to 10 W with the European input-voltage range.

VIPer plus includes both the power section and controller in
one package. The power section is avalanche rugged with a
breakdown voltage of 800 V.

VIPer17 overview

VIPer17 is an innovative high-voltage converter suitable for very smart and cost-effective power supplies, and includes the power section and controller in one package.
The power section is avalanche rugged with a breakdown voltage of 800 V; this ensures robustness and reliability for power supplies. The power section includes a SenseFET, temperature sensor and high-voltage start-up circuit.
The controller uses advanced BCD technology, operates using the current-mode technique and is suitable for fl yback converters. It features very advanced circuits to minimize consumption in normal mode, and reduces consumption even further during standby. You can thus design a PSU with a standby consumption under no-load conditions of less than 50 mW using a wide input-voltage range, and so be compliant with energy saving standards.
VIPer17 also offers new functionalities that guarantee higher performance with a lower component count: the soft startup function, simple feedback management, and frequency modulation jittering, which reduces EMI and helps meet standards regarding electromagnetic disturbance.
VIPer17 has two possible fi xed operating frequencies: 60 kHz (VIPer17L) or 115 kHz (VIPer17H). Both versions are
available in DIP-7 (VIPer17LN and VIPer17HN) and SO-16N packages (VIPer17LD and VIPer17HD).
