TNY268PN Enhanced, Energy Efficient, Low Power Off-line Switcher

The TNY268PN IC belongs to the TNY26x series of ICs, it is manufactured by Power Integrations along with other Power-switching ICs under its TinySwitch collection. The TNY26x series ICs are designed for high-efficiency power supply applications, integrating a PWM controller and a power MOSFET into a single monolithic component. These ICs operate under a wide input voltage range, making them versatile for various applications. The series features an innovative energy-saving technology that reduces power consumption under light-load or no-load conditions. It also includes multiple protection features such as over-temperature, over-current, and output short-circuit protection, enhancing system reliability. The TNY26x series is optimized for compact designs, reducing the need for external components, and simplifying circuit layout, particularly beneficial in space-constrained applications.
