Controller IC SCM1725A with High Power Density And Fast Startup Function for Smart Meter Industry

Introduction of Controller IC SCM1725A

Due to the widespread application of smart meters in the power grid, MORNSUN launched a controller IC SCM1725A with high power density, fast response, and good price-performance for this application.

The SCM1725A is a current mode PWM controller IC integrating a 2A power MOSFET with a minimum withstand voltage of 650V in the drain. By connecting the power bus voltage directly, the high-voltage startup pin can achieve the fast charging of the VDD bypass capacitor. At the same time, after the SCM1725A starts short-circuit protection, the VDD capacitor voltage can drop to the VDD under-voltage point, and fast startup circuit at the high-voltage restarts to charge the VDD bypass capacitor until the VDD startup voltage is reached, then the startup circuit stops working and reduces losses.

Controller IC SCM1725A has good efficiency performance because of the built-in frequency jitter mode at light-load. At the same time, it also has built-in duty-cycle slope compensation, internal loop compensation, and other circuits to achieve a stable system loop operation. In order to improve system reliability, a series of protection are also integrated inside the SCM1725A. In addition, it integrates the EN pin by connecting a logic high level to enter a very low power mode and the VDD pin voltage is kept at about 8.6V. If the SCM1725A has sufficient heat dissipation conditions, the output peak power will reach up to 20W when it is turned on / off intermittently at 3S in an open 75 ° C environment.
