Infineon is expanding its family of AC-DC controller ICs to help amplify one of the industries fasting growing markets, battery-powered appliances.

Munich, Germany. Infineon Technologies AG released the ICC80QSG single-stage PWM controller for flyback topologies with an available quasi-resonant mode, switching in valley n (QRMn). When combined with CoolMOS™ P7 Superjunction (SJ) MOSFETs, the IC is suited for battery charger applications needed for streamlining scalable energy solutions up to 130W.

Having the quasi-resonant mode (QRM), affords the IC to offer continuous conduction mode (CCM) deterrence and valley switching discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). When connected to CoolMOS™ P7 MOSFET devices, the ICC80QSG produces low electromagnetic interference (EMI).

With a reduced gate driver output voltage throughout burst mode, the ICC80QSG is ideal for minimal standby constraints in low-load or no-load situations. An implemented secondary-side regulation (SSR) method is recommended for controlling current during the charging of a battery.

The ICC80QSG includes an a flexible on-time mapping at valley changing position and an adaptable maximum on-time limiting input power and current. According to Infineon, “the IC features an externally configurable hysteresis of brown-in and brown-out to protect the primary MOSFET by ensuring it does not get overheated.

For the consumer market, the ICC80QSG is ideal for printers, PCs, TVs, monitors, and audio amplifiers.
