Fairchild SG6846A Data Handbook

Summary

This highly integrated PWM controller is engineered for advanced green-mode Switch Mode Power Supplies (SMPS). It ensures reliable, efficient operation across variable AC input ranges by featuring sophisticated protection—including over-voltage, over-temperature, and two-level over-current protection. Key functionalities include built-in soft-start circuits, constant output power control, and frequency hopping for reduced EMI. The controller is ideal for a wide range of applications, such as general SMPS units, open-frame converters, power adapters, and high-surge demanding devices like printers and scanners.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if a major fault like OCP or VOP occurs?

The internal latch circuit engages and latches off the controller. The PWM pulses remain latched off until the power supply is disconnected from the mains outlet.

Does this controller manage startup stress when powering up?

Yes, it features built-in Soft-Start functionality to soften the stress on the MOSFET and limit the initial startup current.

What AC input conditions does the device support?

It maintains a constant output power limit across a universal AC input range, utilizing low-voltage detection with hysteresis for brownout protection.

What is the physical package type available?

The SG6846A controller is available in an 8-pin Small Outline Package (SOP) format.
