Product details
Overview
VIPER265KDTR from STMicroelectronics is a 1050 V high-voltage offline PWM converter IC integrating avalanche-rugged power MOSFET, current-mode controller, embedded startup/sense FET, 500 mA drain current limit, and jittered 60 kHz switching for low EMI - used in non-isolated buck and flyback auxiliary supplies for industrial 3-phase metering systems.
For engineers reviewing the VIPER265KDTR datasheet, VIPER265KDTR pinout, VIPER265KDTR application, or VIPER265KDTR equivalent, key selection factors include its 1050 V breakdown rating, SO16N thermal pad package, 30 mW standby power at 230 VAC, integrated error amplifier for primary-side regulation, and safe auto-restart behavior after overcurrent or thermal fault.
Technical Context
The VIPER265KDTR implements a current-mode PWM control architecture with internal transconductance error amplifier referenced to 3.3 V at FB, COMP pin providing linear voltage range (VCOMPL to VCOMPH) for optocoupler feedback or direct loop compensation. Its embedded high-voltage startup circuit draws bias current directly from the DRAIN pin.
Thermal protection uses hysteretic shutdown at 160 °C, and fault recovery employs safe auto-restart with soft-start reinitialization. Frequency jittering (±4 kHz around 60 kHz) reduces conducted EMI peaks, enabling smaller EMI filter components in compact industrial auxiliary supplies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| V(BR)DSS | 1050 V - enables direct connection to 3-phase rectified bus (up to ~800 VDC) without external HV pre-regulator |
| RDS(on) | 8.5 Ω max @ 25°C - defines conduction loss and thermal rise under full-load 500 mA drain current |
| IDLIM | 500 mA - sets peak switch current limit for overcurrent protection in flyback/buck topologies |
| FOSC | 60 kHz ± 4 kHz - jittered frequency reduces EMI filter size and cost in space-constrained industrial designs |
| Standby Power | < 30 mW at 230 VAC - meets stringent energy-saving requirements for always-on auxiliary rails |
| VREF_FB | 3.3 V typical - internal error amplifier reference enables precise output voltage setting via resistor divider |
| TSD | 160 °C typical - hysteretic thermal shutdown prevents latch-up and allows autonomous recovery after cooling |
Pinout & Package
Package: SO16N with exposed metal frame (pins 13–16 and pin 4 connected to die pad) for enhanced thermal dissipation; requires PCB copper area under DRAIN pins per layout guidelines.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GND | Controller ground reference & MOSFET source node | Common return for control logic, error amp, and power switch; must be low-impedance |
| 5 VCC | Control section supply input | Charges external capacitor; powers internal logic and gate driver during operation |
| 7 FB | Inverting input of transconductance error amplifier | Accepts feedback voltage; 3.3 V reference sets regulation point for primary- or secondary-side control |
| 8 COMP | Error amplifier output & PWM control interface | Drives compensation network to GND or connects to optocoupler cathode for isolated regulation |
| 13–16 DRAIN | High-voltage power switch drain terminals | Carry full switched current; connected to metal frame for heat transfer to PCB copper |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 1050 V avalanche-rugged MOSFET | Eliminates need for external HV switch and startup resistor in 3-phase industrial auxiliary supplies |
| Jittered 60 kHz switching | Reduces EMI peak amplitude by spreading spectral energy, lowering filter component count and board area |
| Embedded soft-start | Prevents inrush current and output overshoot during power-up in buck/flyback converters |
| Safe auto-restart after fault | Resets OCP/thermal faults with controlled soft-start instead of latching off - improves system reliability |
| Standby power < 30 mW | Enables compliance with IEC 62301 Ed.2 Class 1 (≤ 0.5 W) and EU CoC Tier 2 standby limits |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage offline converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VIPER267KDTR | 700 mA drain current limit vs. 500 mA; otherwise identical pinout, package, and features | Supports higher output power in same footprint - suitable when >5 W required in flyback/buck | Select when peak load exceeds 5 W or transformer design demands higher current headroom |
| ICE3BRS01J | 700 V breakdown (vs. 1050 V); external HV startup; no integrated error amp; requires optocoupler for regulation | Requires additional HV components and feedback circuitry - increases BOM and layout complexity | Choose only if legacy design reuse or lower-cost sourcing outweighs integration and surge immunity benefits |
Compared with VIPER265KDTR, VIPER267KDTR offers higher current capability in identical form factor, while ICE3BRS01J trades integration and surge robustness for broader vendor availability - making VIPER265KDTR optimal for new industrial designs prioritizing compactness, reliability, and simplified certification.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output power achievable with VIPER265KDTR in a non-isolated buck configuration?
At 230 VAC input and 40°C ambient, VIPER265KDTR delivers up to 4.5 W continuously in a well-heatsinked SO16N buck design. This assumes 8.5 Ω RDS(on), 500 mA IDLIM, and proper PCB copper area under DRAIN pins. Output power drops above 60°C ambient due to thermal derating starting at 160 °C junction temperature.
Can VIPER265KDTR operate without an external optocoupler in isolated flyback designs?
Yes - it supports primary-side regulation using the FB pin and a Zener-based feedback network, eliminating the optocoupler. The internal 3.3 V reference and transconductance error amplifier enable ±3% output regulation accuracy without secondary-side sensing, reducing cost and improving reliability in metering applications.
How does the jittered switching frequency affect EMI compliance testing?
The ±4 kHz frequency spread around 60 kHz lowers peak radiated/conducted emissions by 5–8 dB compared to fixed-frequency operation. This allows simpler, lower-cost EMI filters - verified in ST's DB3809 reference design meeting EN 55022 Class B with minimal filtering components in 3-phase auxiliary supply layouts.
Is the SO16N package RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes - VIPER265KDTR in SO16N packaging conforms to RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is lead-free, with matte tin terminal finish. ST's official device summary (Doc ID034026) confirms halogen-free status and JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level MSL3 for standard SMT assembly processes.
