LOW POWER PWM CONTROLLER FOR OFF-LINE ADAPTER
General Description
Features
AP3710
The AP3710 is a green-mode PWM controller, its main applications are low power supplies such as offline battery chargers, adapters, STB and other auxiliary supplies, where the needs for low no load power, low total cost and high reliability are all required.
The functional blocks of AP3710 include: under voltage lockout with low start-up current; precise voltage reference for internal comparators; PWM comparator with current limit control, feedback signal and bandgap input; short circuit comparator and open circuit protection for opto-coupler.
The AP3710 operates at a fixed 60kHz switching frequency, its output connects to the emitter of high voltage NPN transistor or the source of MOSFET.
