TI high-voltage switcher delivers energy savings to "always-on" smart meters, home automation designs
PR Newswire - Fri Sep 05, 7:00AM CDT
Expanding its portfolio of high-voltage power solutions for offline AC/DC designs, Texas Instruments (TI) (NASDAQ:TXN) today introduced a 700-V switcher with the industry's lowest quiescent current of less than 100 uA - half the power consumption of existing solutions. The UCC28880 controller integrates a 700-V power MOSFET and high-voltage current source, increasing overall energy efficiency of "always-on" non-isolated power systems with output currents up to 100 mA, such as smart meters, home automation equipment and white goods.
