The KA3501 is complete housekeeping circuits for use in the secondary side of SMPS(Switched Mode Power Supply). This IC(Integrated Circuit) contains a precision voltage reference, protection circuits and a power good signal generator. It also has a high current drive output for use in conjunction with an external "crowbar" SCR. The reference voltage is trimmed to 2% for correct output voltages(+5V/ +12V) and power good signal generator is to monitor the voltage level of power good supply for safe operation in a microprocessor circuit. Using the KA3501 requires few external components to accomplish a complete housekeeping circuit for SMPS(Switched Mode Power Supply). The KA3501 is available in an 14-pin DIP.
