Power Integrations InnoSwitch™4-CZ ICs

Power Integrations InnoSwitch™4-CZ ICs combine with the ClampZero™ active clamp ICs to dramatically improve the efficiency of flyback power converters, especially those requiring a compact form-factor. The InnoSwitch4-CZ incorporates primary and secondary controllers and safety-rated feedback into a single IC.

The Power InnoSwitch4-CZ ICs integrated with the ClampZero ICs greatly reduces system and primary switch losses, allowing for extremely high power densities. The InnoSwitch4-CZ provides multiple protection features, including output overvoltage and over-current limiting, and over-temperature shutdown.

Devices are available that support the common combinations of latching and auto-restart protection mode required by applications such as chargers, adapters, consumer electronics, and industrial systems.
