Additional Details

The STRF6456 operates using a fixed or variable switching frequency, depending on the specific design. The integrated MOSFET typically has a voltage rating suitable for off-line applications. The overcurrent protection (OCP) is typically implemented using a current sensing resistor and a comparator. The overvoltage protection (OVP) monitors the output voltage using a resistor divider and a comparator. The thermal shutdown (TSD) monitors the junction temperature of the IC. The soft-start function limits the inrush current during startup. The IC is available in a variety of packages designed for efficient heat dissipation. Specific electrical characteristics, such as switching frequency and voltage/current ratings, vary depending on the specific model variation.
