The L6565 is a current-mode primary controller IC,
specifically designed to build offline Quasi-resonant
ZVS (Zero Voltage Switching at switch turn-on) flyback converters.
Quasi-resonant operation is achieved by means of a
transformer demagnetization sensing input that triggers MOSFET's turn-on.

DESCRIPTION
(continued)
Converter's power capability variations with the mains voltage are compensated by line voltage feedforward.
At light load the device features a special function that automatically lowers the operating frequency still maintaining the operation as close to ZVS as possible. In addition to very low start-up and quiescent currents, this
feature helps keep low the consumption from the mains at light load and be Blue Angel and Energy Star compliant.
The IC includes also a disable function, an on-chip filter on current sense, an error amplifier with a precise reference voltage for primary regulation and an effective two-level overcurrent protection.
