C21XX families: applications

Ideal for 5 star-rated chargers

CamSemi PSS controllers are aimed at high volume, universal input applications rated at 1 to 8 W including:

  • chargers for mobile phones, digital cameras, handheld games and other portable devices
  • external power adaptors

These novel devices help manufacturers comply fully with the latest efficiency regulations - including the 5 star rating system for mobile phones chargers - while cutting costs. And without compromising performance.

Advanced features include:

  • Primary side sensing – with no optocoupler or feedback components required and using cost-effective bipolar transistors instead of expensive MOSFETs.
  • +/- 5% current and voltage regulation – to eliminate costly current regulation components. Allowing manufacturers to meet the strict performance specifications for mobile phone chargers at no additional cost.
  • Low no-load power consumptions - to deliver top specification 5 star-rated chargers without adding cost, components or compromising performance, such as start-up times.
  • ‘One size fits all’ frequency adjustment – to cut inventory and lower risk.
  • Fully programmable cable compensation – to minimise the copper content of cables and cut costs. And the adjustment is done within the design phase to improve manufacturing flexibility.
