Power Integrations, Inc. PMIC - PMIC - AC DC Converters, Offline Switchers - LNK500GN-TL LNK500GN-TL

The LNK500GN-TL is part of the LinkSwitch family of AC-DC converters designed for low-cost chargers and adapters. It offers a constant voltage (CV) or constant voltage/constant current (CV/CC) solution with a simplified circuit configuration, reducing component count and overall system cost. The device operates efficiently with a universal input range, making it suitable for worldwide applications. It features integrated protection mechanisms, including auto-restart for short circuit and open loop conditions, which minimizes the need for external components. This converter is capable of delivering up to 5.5 W output power while consuming less than 300 mW at no load, aligning with energy efficiency standards such as Energy Star and EU regulations. The LNK500GN-TL is particularly well-suited for applications in consumer electronics, including chargers for mobile devices, LED lighting, and auxiliary power supplies. Its compact design and high performance make it a viable replacement for traditional linear transformer and RCC chargers.
