The MC44608 is a high performance voltage mode controller designed for off−line converters. This high voltage circuit that integrates the startup current source and the oscillator capacitor, requires few external components while offering a high flexibility and reliability. The device also features a very high efficiency standby management consisting of an effective Pulsed Mode operation. This technique enables the reduction of the standby power consumption to approximately 1.0 W while delivering 300 mW in a 150 W SMPS.
