San Diego, Calif., April 28, 2020 – Silanna semiconductor, a leader in power density technology, today announced the expansion of its industry-leading Active Clamp Flyback Controller (ACF) product line. Silanna Semiconductor is committed to addressing the ultimate challenge of power management by delivering best-in-class power density and efficiency, delivering unprecedented BoM cost savings to customers for their diverse needs. At APEC 2019, Silanna Semiconductor debuted its active-clamp flyback controller, which has already met customer needs and achieved expected market penetration, and now dominates the integrated ACF market.

The SZ1110 and SZ1130 devices are active-clamp flyback PWM controllers that integrate an adaptive digital PWM Controller and other ultra-high voltage (UHV) components, including active-clamp MOSFETs, active-clamp MOSFET drivers, and high-voltage startup cells. This unprecedented level of integration enables the design of more efficient, higher power density power adapters with lower BoM costs for power-hungry mobile phones, tablets, laptops, and video game consoles. .

By visiting the demo page, customers can see a demo of the ACF controller, which can achieve 94% efficiency and 27 W/in3 power density for the full design of the 65W AC/DC power adapter. The showcase page also contains a wide range of DC/DC and AC/DC products.

Mark Drucker, CEO of Silanna Semiconductor, said: “We had an incredible response from customers and the industry when we launched the world’s first active clamp flyback controller, the SZ1101, less than a year ago. The expansion of higher power and smaller package size further demonstrates our leadership in core power density. Silanna Semiconductor is able to provide AC/DC solutions with the highest power density and higher efficiency, while also providing the best value and lower BoM cost.”

These devices provide a simplified design of a flyback controller with all the advantages of an ACF design, including the ability to fully utilize the leakage inductance energy of the flyback transformer and limit the voltage spike at the drain of the main MOSFET during turn-off. The SZ1110 and SZ1130 utilize Silanna Semiconductor’s OptiModeTM digital control architecture, which adjusts the device’s operating mode on a cycle-by-cycle basis depending on input voltage and load to maintain high efficiency, low electromagnetic interference (EMI), fast dynamic load regulation and other key power parameters.

Ahsan Zaman, Marketing Director, Silanna Semiconductor, said: “Unlike traditional ACF designs, tight tolerances for clamping capacitors and transformer leakage inductance are not required in high volume production. The SZ1110 and SZ1130 are ideal for high efficiency and high power density AC/DC Power adapters. These devices are designed for power adapters with output power up to 33W (SZ1110) and 65W (SZ1130), including applications such as USB-PD and Quick Charge.”

AC/DC power supplies based on the SZ1110 and SZ1130 can easily meet stringent US DoE and EU CoC energy efficiency requirements, as well as no-load standby power requirements.
