High Safety Standby Ladder Mode GreenLine™ PWM Controller
The MC44604 is an enhanced high performance controller that is specifically designed for off–line and dc–to–dc converter applications.
The MC44604 is a modification of the MC44603. The MC44604 offers enhanced safety and reliable
power management in its protection features (foldback, overvoltage detection, soft–start, accurate demagnetization detection). Its high current totem pole output is also ideally suited for driving a power MOSFET but can also be used for driving a bipolar
transistor in low power converters (< 150 W).
