What are the key features of TOP221PN?
- Integrates PWM controller, power MOSFET, and protection circuitry in a single DIP-8 package, reducing external component count for off-line power supply designs
- Voltage-mode pulse width modulation with built-in auto-restart and cycle-by-cycle current limiting providing robust fault protection without additional ICs
- 0.28 A maximum output current capability enabling compact, low-cost flyback converters for consumer and industrial adapter applications
What is TOP221PN used for?
The TOP221PN is designed for low-power off-line flyback switch-mode power supplies used in AC adapters, set-top boxes, and industrial auxiliary power rails. Its integration of the PWM controller and power MOSFET into a DIP-8 body simplifies PCB layout and reduces the total component count compared to discrete designs, enabling cost-effective solutions under 10 W. Power supply engineers also use it in battery chargers and standby power circuits where efficiency and fault protection are required in a minimal footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions
What output current does the TOP221PN support and for which power range is it best suited?
The TOP221PN is rated for a maximum output current of 0.28 A, making it appropriate for flyback power supply designs targeting output power levels up to approximately 10 W, such as low-power AC adapters, battery chargers, and standby rail converters in consumer electronics.
How does TOP221PN reduce external component count compared to a discrete PWM controller plus MOSFET design?
TOP221PN integrates the voltage-mode PWM controller, power MOSFET, start-up circuit, current limiter, and auto-restart protection into a single DIP-8 IC, eliminating the separate gate driver, bias supply capacitor, current sense resistor, and MOSFET components that a discrete design requires, reducing the BOM by 5 to 8 components in a typical 5 W flyback converter.
What protection mechanisms are built into the TOP221PN?
The TOP221PN includes cycle-by-cycle peak current limiting that prevents transformer saturation under overload, plus an auto-restart function that shuts down the converter and periodically attempts restart when an output short-circuit or overload is detected, limiting average fault power dissipation and protecting downstream circuitry without requiring an external supervisor IC.
Is the TOP221PN in a DIP-8 package compatible with through-hole PCB assembly processes?
Yes. The DIP-8 package is a standard 8-lead dual in-line through-hole format with 2.54 mm pin pitch, fully compatible with wave soldering and hand-soldering processes, and socketed prototyping, making it straightforward to use in both low-volume development boards and moderate-volume production runs without SMT reflow equipment.
