A PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) current-mode controller is a type of electronic control system used in power electronics and switch-mode power supplies. It combines current sensing and feedback techniques with pulse width modulation to regulate and control the output current of a power converter.

Description
Housed in an SO−14 package, the DAP011/DAP011C represents an enhanced version of the Maximus, DAP008, controller. Due to its high drive capability, SpeedKing drives large gate−charge MOSFETs which, together with internal ramp compensation and a user selectable frequency jittering, ease the design of modern AC/DC adapters. With an internal structure operating at a fixed 65/100 kHz frequency, the controller directly connects to the high−voltage rail for a loss less and clean startup sequence. Current−mode control also provides an excellent input audio−susceptibility and inherent pulse−by−pulse control. Internal ramp compensation easily prevents subharmonic oscillations from taking place in continuous conduction mode designs. When the current setpoint falls below a given value, e.g. the output power demand diminishes, the IC automatically enters the so−called skip cycle mode and provides excellent efficiency at light loads.
