They are ideally optimized for personal computer and CRT power supplies although they can be used in any number of off-line applications where energy efficiency is critical. Coupled with the fact that the LX155X series requires a minimal set of external components, the series offers an excellent value for cost conscious consumer applications. Optimizing energy efficiency, the LX155X series demonstrates a significant power reduction as compared with other similar off-line controllers. Table 1 compares the SG384X, UC384XA and the LX155X start-up resistor power dissipation. The LX155X offers an overall 4X reduction in power dissipation. Additionally, the precise oscillator discharge current gives the power supply designer considerable flexibility in optimizing system duty cycle consistency. The current mode architecture demonstrates improved load regulation, pulse by pulse current limiting and inherent protection of the power supply output switch. The LX155X includes a bandgap reference trimmed to 1%, an error amplifier, a current sense comparator internally clamped to 1V, a high current totem pole output stage for fast switching of power mosfet's, and an externally programmable oscillator to set operating frequency and maximum duty cycle. The undervoltage lock-out circuitry is designed to operate with as little as 250µA of supply current permitting very efficient bootstrap designs.
