SG6859A
Low-Cost, Green-Mode PWM Controller for Flyback Converters
Features
Description
This highly integrated PWM controller provides several
enhancements designed to meet the low standby-power
needs of low-power SMPS. To minimize standby power
consumption, the proprietary green-mode function
provides off-time modulation to linearly decrease the
switching frequency under light-load conditions. This
green-mode function enables the power supply to meet
even the strictest power conservation requirements.
Green-Mode PWM
Supports the “Blue Angel” Standard
Low Startup Current: 9μA
Low Operating Current: 3mA
300mA Driving Capability
Leading-Edge Blanking
The BiCMOS fabrication process enables reducing the
startup current to 9μA and the operating current to 3mA.
To further improve power conservation, a large startup
resistance can be used. Built-in synchronized slope
compensation ensures the stability of peak current
mode control. Proprietary internal compensation
provides a constant output power limit over a universal
AC input range (90VAC to 264VAC). Pulse-by-pulse current
limiting ensures safe operation during short-circuits.

Built-in Synchronized Slope Compensation
Current-Mode Operation
Cycle-by-cycle Current Limiting
Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
Programmable PWM Frequency with Frequency
To protect the external power MOSFET from damage by
supply over voltage, the SG6859A’s output driver is
clamped at 17V. SG6859A controllers can be used to
improve the performance and reduce the production
cost of power supplies. The best choice for replacing
linear and RCC-mode power adapters, the SG6859A is
available in 8-pin DIP and 6-pin SSOT-6 packages.
