HV converters combine 800V avalanche-rugged MOSFET with PWM circuitry

Mouser now stocks the STMicroelectronics VIPerPlus high-voltage (HV) converters which combine 800V avalanche-rugged MOSFET with state-of-the-art PWM circuitry. The result is innovative less expensive AC/DC conversion which is also more efficient, simpler, quicker and with component count halved. The VIPerPlus family represents the easiest solution to comply with the Blue Angel and Energy Star eco norms, with extremely low total power consumption from the mains when the system is in standby mode, says the company.
