MP103 EasyPowerTM
Higher Power
Offline Inductor-Less Regulator
For Low Power Applications
The Future of Analog IC Technology
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The MP103 provides an easy and low cost
ACDC solution for less than 1W applications. It
is an off-line linear regulator that delivers good
efficiency while generating little EMI noise. It
provides an easy solution to step down the AC
line voltage to a regulated DC voltage. This off-
line linear regulator replaces the conventional
switching regulator, not needing a transformer
or an inductor. Due to its simplicity, it offers an
overall low BOM cost.

Universal AC Input (85Vac-305Vac)
Inductor-less
Less than 100mW standby power
Excellent EMI Performance
Lower BOM Cost
Smart Control to Maximizes Efficiency
Adjustable Output Voltage from 1.5V to 15V
Good Line and Load Regulation
Drives External BJT
Short Circuit Protection
External Programmable Over Temperature
Protection (OTP)
MP103 delivers nearly two times the output
power than the MP100 or MP100L by charging
its VB capacitor with an external bipolar
APPLICATIONS
transistor.
MP103 maximizes efficiency by
minimizing the voltage drop between VB and
VOUT, while only charging VB when VIN is less
than approximately 32V. The MP103 enables
the overall system to meet standby power
requirements.
