SG6742ML/MR Highly Integrated Green-Mode PWM Controller Features Description
High-Voltage Startup The highly integrated SG6742ML/MR PWM controller provides several features to enhance the performance
Low Operating Current: 2.7m A
of flyback converters.
Linearly Decreasing PWM Frequency to 22KHz
To minimize standby power consumption, a proprietary Frequency Hopping to Reduce EMI Emission green-mode function provides off-time modulation to linearly decrease the switching frequency at light-load
Fixed PWM Frequency: 65KHz
conditions. To avoid acoustic-noise problems, the Peak-Current-Mode Control minimum PWM frequency is set above 22KHz. The green-mode function enables the power supply to meet
