The NCP12400 is a new fixed−frequency current−mode controller featuring the Dynamic Self−Supply. This function greatly simplifies the design of the auxiliary supply and the VCC capacitor by activating the internal startup current source to supply the controller during start−up, transients, latch, stand−by etc. This device contains a special HV detector which detects the application unplug from the ac input line and triggers the X2 discharge current. This HV structure allows the brown−out detection as well. It features a timer−based fault detection that ensures the detection of overload and an adjustable compensation to help keep the maximum power independent of the input voltage.
