The NCP1396 A/B offers everything needed to build a reliable and rugged resonant mode power supply. Its unique architecture includes a 500 kHz Voltage Controller Oscillator whose control mode brings flexibility when an ORing function is a necessity, e.g. in multiple feedback paths implementations. Thanks to its proprietary high-voltage technology, the controller welcomes a bootstrapped MOSFET driver for half-bridge applications accepting bulk voltages up to 600 V. Protections featuring various reaction times, e.g. immediate shutdown or timer-based event, brown-out, broken opto-coupler detection etc., contribute to a safer converter design, without engendering additional circuitry complexity. An adjustable deadtime also helps lowering the shoot-through current contribution as the switching frequency increases. Features
