DESCRIPTION
This primary controller I.C., developed in BCD60II
technology, has been designed to implement off
L5991A
MULTIPOWER BCD TECHNOLOGY
DIP16SO16
ORDERING NUMBERS:
L5991D/L5991AD (SO16)
line or DC-DC power supply applications using a
fixed frequency current mode control.
Based on a standard current mode PWM controller this device includes some features such as
programmable soft start, IN/OUT synchronization,
disable (to be used for over voltage protection and
for power management), precise maximum Duty
Cycle Control, 100ns leading edge blanking on
current sense, pulse by pulse current limit, overcurrent protection with soft start intervention, and
Standby function for oscillator frequency reduction
when the converter is lightly loaded.
