Additional Details

The MIP160 typically operates in a flyback converter topology. The device is available in a through-hole package. The internal soft-start function reduces stress on the power MOSFET during startup, improving reliability. The overcurrent protection limits the peak current, preventing damage due to short circuits or overloads. The overvoltage protection safeguards the output voltage from exceeding safe limits. The thermal shutdown protection shuts down the IC when the junction temperature exceeds a threshold, preventing thermal runaway.
