PWM controllers

The ST pulse width modulation (PWM) controller portfolio covers isolated and non-isolated AC-DC and DC-DC switch mode power supplies with the most common converter topologies, including flyback, forward, and quasi-resonant. ST PWM controllers combine integrated protections and optimized light-load behavior to improve converter efficiency, reduce external component count, and lower overall system cost in demanding industrial and consumer applications. The portfolio also includes widely used UC (current-mode) and SG (voltage-mode) PWM controllers for mainstream SMPS designs, giving designers the flexibility to choose from classic architectures to more advanced control strategies.

Compact quasi-resonant PWM controller for ultra-low standby power supplies

The STCH03 features a built-in high-voltage start-up circuit with zero power consumption, fully integrated blocks for primary-side constant-current output regulation and advanced power management, making it the best choice for high efficiency and ultra-low standby consumption power supplies with excellent dynamic performance.

Designed to provide a constant output current (CC) regulation using primary-sensing feedback, the STCH03 reduces BOM costs and simplifies your design as a dedicated current reference IC and current sensor are no longer required.

Moreover, an embedded frequency jitter technique helps reduce EMI noise.
