NCP1238AD65R2G

**The NCP1238 is a new generation of the NCP12xx fixed−frequency

current−mode controllers featuring Dynamic Self−Supply (DSS), pin−to−pin compatible with the previous generation.**

The DSS function greatly simplifies the design of the auxiliary supply and the VCC capacitor by activating the internal startup current source to supply the controller during transients.
Due to its proprietary Soft−Skip™ mode combined with frequency foldback, the controller exhibits excellent efficiency in light load condition while still achieving very low standby power consumption. This Soft−Skip feature also dramatically reduces the risk of acoustic noise, which enables the use of inexpensive transformers and capacitors in the clamping network.
