STMicroelectronics VIPER06HN High-Voltage Converter

The VIPER06HN is a high-performance offline switched-mode power supply (SMPS) converter designed by STMicroelectronics, a leader in semiconductor solutions. This innovative component is part of the VIPerPlus family and is perfect for applications requiring a compact, efficient, and reliable power supply solution.

With its integrated 800V avalanche-rugged power MOSFET, the VIPER06HN can withstand challenging power conditions, making it suitable for a wide range of AC/DC converter applications. Its high-voltage capability ensures that it can handle surges and spikes, providing a stable and secure power supply for the connected devices.

The VIPER06HN operates at a fixed 60 kHz switching frequency, allowing for a reduced-size magnetic design, which in turn minimizes the overall footprint of the power supply on the PCB. This makes it an excellent choice for space-constrained applications. Additionally, the integrated high-voltage startup and sense FET contribute to a simplified circuit design, further reducing external component count and system cost.

Energy efficiency is a key feature of the VIPER06HN, with its low power consumption in standby mode making it compliant with energy-saving regulations such as the European Commission's Ecodesign Directive. The device also includes various protection features, such as overload protection, overvoltage protection, and thermal shutdown with hysteresis, ensuring the safety and longevity of both the power supply and the end product.

The VIPER06HN is available in a compact SO-16N package, making it ideal for applications like power adapters, LED lighting, metering, and auxiliary power supplies. Its robust design, combined with STMicroelectronics' commitment to high-quality manufacturing, ensures that this high-voltage converter will deliver consistent performance and reliability.

For engineers and designers looking for a versatile, high-voltage converter solution, the VIPER06HN from STMicroelectronics offers the perfect blend of performance, compactness, and energy efficiency to meet the demanding requirements of modern electronic applications.
