Datasheet Summary
Critical Conduction Mode PFC Controller Utilizing a Transconductance Error Amplifier
The NCP1608 is an active power factor correction (PFC) controller specifically designed for use as a pre- converter in ac- dc adapters, electronic ballasts, and other medium power off- line converters (typically up to 350 W). It uses critical conduction mode (CrM) to ensure near unity power factor across a wide range of input voltages and output power. The NCP1608 minimizes the number of external ponents by integrating safety Features
, making it an excellent choice for designing robust PFC stages. It is available in a SOIC- 8 package.
