Description
The AP3968/69/70 consists of a primary side regulation controller and
a high voltage transistor, and is specially designed for off-line power
supplies within 12W output power. Typical applications include
adapter for ADSL and auxiliary supplies.
The AP3968/69/70 operates at pulse frequency modulation (PFM),
and provides accurate constant voltage, constant current (CV/CC)
regulation without requiring an opto-coupler and secondary control
circuitry. It has internal cable compensation function for tight constant
voltage regulation.
The AP3968/69/70 solution has fewer component numbers, smaller
size, and lower total cost.
The AP3968 is packaged in SO-7. The AP3969 is available in PDIP-
7. The AP3970 is available in PDIP-7 and PDIP-8 packages.
