Description
SD4938 is an offline current-mode PWM controller with an integrated 150V power MOSFET designed for switch-mode power supply (SMPS) applications. It incorporates a high-voltage startup circuit, burst mode operation for low standby power, frequency reduction at light loads, and soft-start functionality to improve efficiency and reliability. Comprehensive protection features—including overcurrent, overvoltage, undervoltage, overload, and overtemperature protection with automatic restart—make the SD4938 well suited for compact AC/DC power supplies and industrial power conversion systems.
