The STCH03 current-mode controller is designed for an offline quasi-resonant ZVS (zerovoltage-switching at switch turn-on) flyback converter. It combines a high-performance low-voltage PWM controller chip and a 650V HV start-up cell in the same package. The device features a unique characteristic: it is capable of providing constant output current (CC) regulation using primary-sensing feedback. This eliminates the need for dedicated current reference IC, as well as the current sensor, still maintaining quite accurate output current regulation.
