VIPER12A AC/DC Switcher IC- DIP-8 Package

The VIPER12A from STMicroelectronics is a highly integrated switcher IC designed for off-line AC to DC power supplies. It combines a PWM controller and a 700V power MOSFET in a compact DIP-8 package, eliminating the need for bulky external power transistors. The IC delivers high energy efficiency, low standby power consumption, and strong built-in protection features, making it ideal for consumer electronics, LED lighting, and industrial control systems.

It simplifies SMPS design in power ranges up to 7W (wide-range input) and up to 12W (230V-only applications), making it a great choice for compact, low-cost power solutions.
