Description
LinkSwitch
is specifically designed to replace low power linear
transformer/RCC chargers and adapters at equal or lower system
cost with much higher performance and energy efficiency. LNK500
is a lower cost version of the LNK501 with a wider tolerance
output CC characteristic.
LinkSwitch
introduces a revolutionary
patented topology for the design of low power switching power
supplies that rivals the simplicity and low cost of linear adapters,

See Figure 1 (b) for Min (CV only designs)
and Typ (CV/CC charger designs) power points identified on output
characteristic.

and enables a much smaller, lighter, and attractive package when
compared with the traditional "brick". With efficiency of up to
75% and < 300 mW no-load consumption,
a
LinkSwitch
solution
can save the end user enough energy over a linear design to
completely pay for the full power supply cost in less than one
year.
LinkSwitch
integrates a 700 V power MOSFET, PWM
control, high voltage start-up, current limit, and thermal shutdown
circuitry, onto a monolithic IC.
