Descriptions

The THX201 is a cost-effective, high-efficiency PWM controller optimized for low-power offline flyback and forward converters. It integrates multiple protection features, including over-voltage protection (OVP), under-voltage lockout (UVLO), and cycle-by-cycle current limiting. It is widely used in AC/DC adapters, standby power supplies, and auxiliary power modules.

Features

• Low Startup Current: Enables fast power-up with minimal standby power.
• Built-in Soft Start: Reduces inrush current during startup.
• Frequency Jittering: Minimizes EMI emissions.
• Auto-Restart Protection: Safeguards against faults like output short-circuit and over-voltage.
• Cycle-by-Cycle Current Limiting: Enhances system reliability.
• Wide VDD Range: Supports operation from 8V to 38V.
• Green Mode Operation: Improves efficiency at light loads.
