Power Integrations InnoSwitch™3-EP ICs

Power Integrations InnoSwitch™3-EP ICs simplify the design and build of flyback power converters, mainly those requiring high efficiency and compact size. The InnoSwitch3-EP family incorporates primary and secondary controllers and safety-rated feedback into a single IC.

The Power Integrations InnoSwitch3-EP ICs combine numerous protection features, including line over and undervoltage protection, output overvoltage and over-current limiting, and over-temperature shutdown. The devices have standard and peak power delivery options and commonly used auto-restart protection actions.
