Advanced power devices for slimmer PSUs

As power supplies for high volume products such as tvs and computers are required to meet ever tougher demands on form factor, efficiency and cost, power supply controllers must integrate more features in order to increase efficiency while minimising component count, pcb size, complexity and bom costs.

Advanced power semiconductor processes enabling extra silicon integration and novel control capabilities enable next generation devices such as ON Semiconductor's NCP1937 combined quasi-resonant converter and PFC controller to deliver improvements in all areas compared to conventional, less highly integrated alternatives.
