EINDHOVEN, THE NETHERLANDS and ORLANDO, FL–(Marketwire -02/07/12)- NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI – News ) today unveiled the GreenChip SPR TEA1716 switched-mode power supply (SMPS) controller IC — the industry’s first resonant PFC and LLC combo controller enabling ultra-low standby power at low loads, compliant with EU Ecodesign Directive requirements taking effect in 2013. The company also announced several highly cost-effective SPF (smart power flyback) ICs available in very small packages, including the GreenChip SPF TEA1731 , as well as new additions to the TEA172x family , which also offer outstanding no-load performance. In addition, NXP introduced a new GreenChip synchronous rectification (SR) control IC, the TEA1792 .
Building on NXP’s success as the market leader in energy-efficient AC/DC power adapter ICs for notebook computers, the new GreenChip ICs enable compact, slim designs for chargers, adapters and power supplies across a broad range of applications. These include mobile communication devices such as smartphones and media tablets; portable computing devices such as e-readers, audio/video players, netbooks, Ultrabooks and PC peripherals; white goods such as washing machines, refrigerators, dishwashers and induction cookers; and industrial and residential systems for smart lighting, smart metering, HVAC, and home and building automation and control. NXP will showcase the new GreenChip power ICs this week at APEC 2012 in Orlando, Florida (booth 910).
“Like ENERGY STAR in the US, the EU Ecodesign Directive is helping to drive broader awareness of the importance of minimizing standby power. Energy shortages around the world also underscore the fact that we can’t take ‘always-on’ for granted. NXP’s new GreenChip SPR TEA1716 is ahead of the curve in driving low-load standby power down to half a watt and below, and is now sampling with lead customers developing power adapters that will meet the new EuP Lot 6 requirements,” said Marcel van Roosmalen, general manager, power solutions product line, NXP Semiconductors.
Breakthrough in Low-Load Efficiency
The GreenChip SPR TEA1716 is a power factor correction (PFC) and LLC resonant combo converter featuring energy-saving operating modes that will help designers meet and exceed very stringent no-load and low-load standby requirements. Designed for use in 90-W to 500-W power supplies, the smart power resonant (SPR) TEA1716 combines PFC and a resonant half-bridge controller (HBC) in a SO24 package. With no-load power levels under 150 mW and an average efficiency of more than 91 percent over universal mains, the TEA1716 sets a new benchmark for standby efficiency as the first combo controller available today to enable standby consumption
