AL1788
LOW STANDBY POWER PFC CONTROLLER
Description
Pin Assignments
The AL1788 is a high performance AC/DC Power Factor Correction
(PFC) controller targeting at LED lighting applications. Based on
Primary Side Regulation (PSR) implementation, AL1788 does not
require opto-coupler and any secondary feedback circuit to save overall
BOM cost. It operates at Quasi-Resonant (QR) mode where MOSFET
is turned on at the valley of the drain voltage, which minimizes switching
loss to result in high efficiency.

With either Flyback or Buck topology, AL1788 system supports high
efficiency, high Power Factor (PF>0.9) and low Total Harmonic
Distortion (THD <20%) for universal input at wide loading range (50%
loading to 100% loading)

The AL1788 features low start-up current, low operation current and low
standby power. It has rich protection features including Over Voltage
Protection (OVP), Short Circuit Protection (SCP), Over Current
Protection (OCP) and Over Temperature Protection (OTP).
Applications
The AL1788 is available in SOT26 (SC74R) package for the controller.
