• Power supplies for telecommunication
equipment
*1: The absolute maximum ratings show the destructive limit. No parameter should exceed the ratings in transient or
normal operations.
• On-board local power supplies
• OA equipment
*2: Limited by thermal protection.
• For stabilization of the secondary-side output

*2: Pin 7 is the ON/OFF pin. Soft start at power on can be performed by connecting a
capacitor to this pin. The output can also be turned ON/OFF with this pin. The output is
stopped by setting the voltage of this pin to VSSL or lower. ON/OFF-pin voltage can be
changed with an open-collector drive circuit of a transistor. When using both the soft-start
and ON/OFF functions together, the discharge current from C3 flows into the ON/OFF
control transistor. Therefore, limit the current securely to protect the transistor if C3
capacitance is large. The ON/OFF pin is pulled up to the power supply in the IC, so
applying the external voltage is prohibited. If this pin is not used, leave it open.
