Description
LinkZero-LP is an upgrade to the popular LinkSwitch-LP, the
industry’s lowest component count charger/adapter and standby
power switcher IC. The LinkZero-LP controller incorporates new
technology which enables the device to automatically enter into
and wake up from no-load mode while taking less than 5 mW from
the AC power. IEC 62301 specifies measurements of standby
power to a minimum accuracy of 10 mW, and so LinkZero-LP’s
consumption of substantially less than 5 mW at 230 VAC rounds to
zero based on the IEC definition. This low power level is also
immeasurable on most power meters. The tightly specified
FEEDBACK (FB) pin voltage reference enables universal input
primary side regulated power supplies with accurate constant
voltage from 5% to full load. The start-up and operating power are
derived directly from the DRAIN pin which eliminates start-up
circuitry. The internal oscillator frequency is jittered to significantly
reduce both quasi-peak and average EMI, minimizing filter cost.

Notes:
1. IEC 62301 Clause 4.5 rounds standby power use below 5 mW to zero.
2. Typical continuous power in a non-ventilated enclosed adapter measured at
+50 °C ambient.
3. Maximum practical continuous power in an open frame design with adequate
heatsinking, measured at 50 °C ambient.
4. Packages: D: SO-8C.
