Product details
Overview
VIPER115HSTR from STMicroelectronics is a high-voltage offline PWM converter IC integrating an 800 V avalanche-rugged N-channel MOSFET, current-mode controller, HV startup circuit, and sense-FET in SSOP10 package. It delivers up to 12 W in open-frame designs at 50 °C ambient, supports flyback/buck/buck-boost topologies, and achieves <10 mW no-load input power at 230 VAC - meeting stringent energy-saving standards for low-power SMPS.
For engineers reviewing the VIPER115HSTR datasheet, VIPER115HSTR pinout, VIPER115HSTR application, or VIPER115HSTR equivalent, this page provides verified technical context on its jittered 120 kHz ±7% switching frequency, 590 mA drain current limit, embedded thermal shutdown, pulse-skip protection against flux-runaway, and direct/secondary feedback support - all critical for reliable adapter and home appliance power supply design.
Technical Context
The VIPER115HSTR implements a current-mode PWM architecture with integrated 800 V primary MOSFET (RDS(on) = 17 Ω typ. @ 25 °C), enabling ultra-wide AC input range (85–265 VAC) without external snubber scaling. Its HV startup circuit delivers 7.5 mA max VCC charging current at 100 V DRAIN, transitioning from ICH1 to ICH3 as VCC rises past 1 V and VCCon (16 V typ.).
It features a jittered oscillator (120 kHz ±7% at 260 Hz modulation rate) to reduce EMI filter cost, pulse-skipping logic that enforces minimum off-time to prevent flux-runaway during startup, and an internal transconductance error amplifier (Gm = 500 μA/V typ.) with 1.2 V reference referenced to GND - supporting both direct (non-isolated) and optocoupler-based secondary feedback configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Drain Voltage Rating | 800 V - enables direct connection to rectified mains up to 265 VAC with margin, reducing snubber component count and size. |
| Drain Current Limit | 590 mA typ. - sets peak primary current threshold for overload protection and power capability calibration in flyback designs. |
| Switching Frequency | 120 kHz ±7% - higher frequency allows smaller magnetics; jitter spreads spectral energy to ease average-mode EMI compliance. |
| No-Load Input Power | <10 mW at 230 VAC - meets EU CoC Tier 2 and DOE Level VI standby efficiency requirements without auxiliary winding. |
| VCC Operating Range | 4.5 V to 30 V - supports wide-range auxiliary supply design and accommodates voltage ripple during transient load steps. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150 °C junction temperature - protects MOSFET and controller under sustained overload or poor heatsinking conditions. |
| Soft-Start Time | 8 ms typ. - ramps current limit in 8 steps to limit inrush into discharged output capacitors, preventing transformer saturation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SSOP10 (3.9 mm × 4.9 mm, 0.65 mm pitch), thermally enhanced with DRAIN pins (6–10) connected to internal MOSFET metal pad for PCB copper area heat sinking (RTH-JA = 95 °C/W with 100 mm² Cu).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GND | MOSFET source & bias return | Common reference for internal circuits; must be isolated from pulsed current return paths to avoid noise coupling into control loop. |
| 2 VCC | Controller supply rail | Charged by internal HV current source at startup; requires ≥10 μF storage capacitor + 0.1 μF ceramic bypass for stable operation. |
| 3 DIS | Disable input | Triggers auto-restart shutdown if held >1.2 V for >1 ms; used for line/output overvoltage protection via external divider. |
| 4 FB | Inverting input of error amplifier | Accepts 1.2 V reference-based feedback; tied to GND to disable E/A in optocoupler-driven secondary regulation. |
| 5 COMP | Error amplifier output | Drives current-limit setpoint; in secondary feedback, directly driven by optocoupler LED to modulate DRAIN peak current. |
| 6–10 DRAIN | MOSFET drain terminals | High-voltage switching node; all five pins are internally bonded to MOSFET die pad - must connect to large PCB copper pour for thermal management. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 800 V avalanche-rugged MOSFET | Eliminates need for external HV switch and gate driver; reduces BOM count and layout complexity in universal-input SMPS. |
| Jittered 120 kHz oscillator | Spreads EMI spectrum across ±7% bandwidth at 260 Hz, lowering peak conducted emissions and enabling smaller EMI filter components. |
| Pulse-skip protection | Prevents flux-runaway during startup by skipping cycles when DRAIN current exceeds 590 mA within 300 ns min. on-time. |
| Embedded soft-start (8 ms) | Gradually increases current limit in 8 discrete steps, avoiding transformer core saturation and output overshoot at power-on. |
| Direct & secondary feedback support | FB/COMP pins configurable for non-isolated (direct divider) or isolated (optocoupler) regulation - simplifies topology selection. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage offline PWM converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ICE2QS03G | 700 V MOSFET, fixed 65 kHz frequency, no jitter, requires external startup resistor and sense resistor. | Limited to ≤230 VAC input; higher no-load power (>30 mW); lacks integrated sense-FET and soft-start. | Choose only if legacy design reuse or lower-cost BOM outweighs efficiency and EMI advantages of VIPER115HSTR. |
| LNK364PG | 725 V MOSFET, 66 kHz, integrated X-cap discharge, but no direct feedback mode or programmable OLP. | Designed for constant-current LED drivers; lacks COMP pin flexibility for buck/flyback reconfiguration. | Select when X-cap safety discharge is mandatory and secondary-side regulation is acceptable; not suitable for direct-feedback adapters. |
Compared with ICE2QS03G and LNK364PG, VIPER115HSTR offers superior input voltage range (800 V vs. ≤725 V), lower no-load consumption (<10 mW vs. >30 mW), and greater topology flexibility via dual feedback modes - making it optimal for next-generation energy-compliant adapters and industrial auxiliary supplies.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output power achievable with VIPER115HSTR in a non-ventilated adapter?
The VIPER115HSTR delivers up to 10 W continuous output power in a non-ventilated enclosed adapter at 50 °C ambient temperature, as validated in ST's DS11873 Rev 5 datasheet Table 8. This rating assumes proper PCB copper area (100 mm²) under DRAIN pins and standard FR4 board construction. Exceeding this requires forced air or open-frame layout with enhanced heatsinking.
Can VIPER115HSTR operate with secondary-side optocoupler feedback?
Yes - the COMP pin is designed to accept current injection from an optocoupler LED in secondary feedback configurations. In this mode, the internal error amplifier is disabled by grounding the FB pin, and COMP directly controls the DRAIN peak current setpoint. This enables precise output regulation in isolated flyback designs without compromising transient response.
How does the pulse-skip function prevent flux-runaway during startup?
Pulse-skip monitors DRAIN current during each switching cycle's minimum on-time (300 ns). If current exceeds 590 mA before turn-off, the next cycle is skipped - extending off-time to allow full inductor discharge. This prevents net volt-second imbalance and core saturation, especially critical when output capacitors are uncharged and feedback loop is inactive.
Is an external startup resistor required for VIPER115HSTR?
No - VIPER115HSTR integrates a high-voltage current source that charges the VCC capacitor directly from the DRAIN pin, eliminating the need for an external high-voltage startup resistor. The internal HV MOSFET (800 V rated) and current source (7.5 mA max) enable reliable startup across full AC input range without power loss or thermal derating concerns.
