NCP1231
Low−Standby Power High
Performance PWM
Controller
The NCP1231 represents a major leap towards achieving low
standby power in medium−to−high power Switched−Mode Power
Supplies such as notebook adapters, off−line battery chargers and
consumer electronics equipment. Housed in SOIC−8 or PDIP−8, the
NCP1231 contains all needed control functionality to build a rugged
and efficient power supply. Among the unique features offered by the
NCP1231 is an event management scheme that can disable the
front−end PFC circuit during standby, thus reducing the no load power
consumption. The NCP1231 itself goes into cycle skipping at light
loads while limiting peak current (to 25% of nominal peak) so that no
acoustic noise is generated and while in the skip cycle mode.

The NCP1231 also features an internal latching function that can be
used for Overvoltage Protection (OVP). The latch is triggered when
the voltage on Pin 8 rises above 4.0 V. During an OVP condition, the
output drive pulses are immediately stopped and the NCP1231 stays in

addition, Pin 8 also serves as a Brown−Out input which provides the
necessary safety feature when the SMPS faces low mains situations.
