The NCP1601BDR2G from onsemi is a high-performance Power Factor Correction (PFC) controller designed for critical conduction (CRM) and discontinuous transition (DCM) modes, ensuring efficient power conversion with minimal harmonic distortion. Operating at a switching frequency of 58kHz, it supports an input voltage range of 9.6V to 18V, making it suitable for a variety of AC-DC power supply designs. Packaged in an 8-pin SOIC and available in Tape & Reel (TR), this IC is optimized for surface-mount applications. Although marked as obsolete, it remains a reliable choice for legacy systems requiring stable PFC performance.
Ideal for offline power supplies, LED drivers, and industrial SMPS (Switched-Mode Power Supplies), the NCP1601BDR2G excels in systems requiring high power factor (>0.95) and low THD (Total Harmonic Distortion). Its CRM/DCM hybrid operation minimizes switching losses, making it particularly effective in:
The NCP1601BDR2G stands out for its versatile PFC control, low standby power, and robust design, despite its obsolete status. Engineers leveraging this IC benefit from onsemi’s proven reliability in power management, particularly in applications demanding high efficiency and regulatory compliance. While newer alternatives exist, this model remains a pragmatic choice for legacy upgrades or cost-sensitive designs.
