Product details
Overview
VIPER53SP-E from STMicroelectronics is a high-voltage offline primary switch IC integrating a current-mode PWM controller and a 620 V MDMesh™ Power MOSFET in a single DIP-8 package. It delivers up to 30 W at universal AC input (85–265 VAC) with adjustable current limiting, soft-start control, and automatic burst-mode standby compliant with Blue Angel energy standards. Used in compact AC/DC adapters and auxiliary power supplies for industrial controls and consumer electronics.
For engineers reviewing the VIPER53SP-E datasheet, VIPER53SP-E pinout, VIPER53SP-E application, or VIPER53SP-E equivalent, key selection considerations include its integrated 620 V drain-source rating, 2 A peak current limit, 100 kHz typical oscillator frequency, and primary-side regulation capability without optocoupler dependency.
Technical Context
The VIPER53SP-E implements a current-mode topology with cycle-by-cycle peak current sensing via internal SenseFET and COMP pin voltage comparison. Its PWM latch incorporates blanking time (300–500 ns) to suppress transformer leakage spikes and ensures stable operation under discontinuous conduction mode.
It features dual-stage protection: overload detection triggers at VCOMP = 4.35 V with 8 ms delay set by external TOVL capacitor, while thermal shutdown activates at 160 °C with 40 °C hysteresis. The transconductance error amplifier (Gm = 1.4 mS typ.) enables primary feedback regulation at 15 V VDD with ±2% total variation over temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| BVDSS | 620 V - Withstands full mains surge transients in universal-input offline SMPS without external clamping. |
| IDlim | 2 A peak - Sets maximum primary current per cycle; adjustable via COMP pin voltage (1.7–2.3 A range). |
| FOSC | 100 kHz typ. - Configurable via external RT/CT network; supports EMI optimization and transformer size trade-offs. |
| RDS(on) | 0.9 Ω @ 25°C - Enables efficient 30 W output in DIP-8 with minimal conduction loss at full load. |
| VDDreg | 15 V ±2% - Internally trimmed reference for primary-side regulation; eliminates need for secondary-side feedback in low-cost designs. |
| TSD | 160 °C - Thermal shutdown threshold with 40 °C hysteresis ensures robust overtemperature recovery in enclosed environments. |
| Standby Power | <0.5 W - Achieved via automatic burst mode; meets Blue Angel and EU CoC Tier 2 standby requirements. |
Pinout & Package
DIP-8 package with creepage-optimized lead spacing for reinforced isolation in AC/DC converters. Exposed DRAIN pin serves as high-voltage current source during startup and primary-side switching node.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 – SOURCE | MOSFET source terminal & circuit ground reference | Return path for sense current; connects to PCB ground plane; sets current-sense reference for COMP comparator. |
| 2 – TOVL | Overload timing input | Accepts external capacitor to set 8 ms delay before overload shutdown; prevents false triggering during transient loads. |
| 3 – COMP | Error amplifier output / PWM current-set input | 0.5–4.5 V range controls peak drain current; 4.35 V threshold triggers delayed overload protection. |
| 4 – VDD | Control supply & startup charging input | Internally regulated at 15 V; accepts 10.2–12.8 V startup threshold and 7.5–9.3 V shutdown threshold. |
| 5 – NC | No connect | Internal die pad not bonded; must remain unconnected on PCB to avoid parasitic coupling. |
| 6 – DRAIN | High-voltage MOSFET drain | 620 V rated node connected to primary winding; supplies startup current to VDD capacitor via internal HV current source. |
| 7 – OSC | Oscillator timing input | Connects external RT/CT network to set switching frequency; blanking time synchronized to OSC waveform. |
| 8 – SOURCE | Second SOURCE connection (tied internally) | Redundant ground path for improved thermal dissipation and lower source inductance in high-noise environments. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 620 V MDMesh™ MOSFET | Eliminates external HV FET and gate driver; reduces BOM count and layout complexity in <30 W offline converters. |
| Primary-side regulation capability | Enables accurate output voltage control using only auxiliary winding feedback-no optocoupler or TL431 required. |
| Adjustable current limitation | Peak current set dynamically via COMP pin voltage (1.7–2.3 A), enabling precise overload response without hardware changes. |
| Automatic burst-mode standby | Reduces no-load consumption to <0.5 W by gating switching pulses-meets Blue Angel and Energy Star EPS v2.0 requirements. |
| High-voltage startup current source | Charges VDD capacitor directly from rectified mains (34–50 V start threshold); removes need for startup resistor network. |
Applications
| Smart Home Power Adapters | Industrial PLC Auxiliary Supplies |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar offline primary switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ICE3B0565J | 650 V MOSFET, fixed 65 kHz frequency, no adjustable current limit; requires external VDD startup resistor. | Lacks burst-mode standby and integrated HV startup; consumes >0.7 W at no-load-fails Blue Angel compliance. | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency requirements and design space allows discrete startup network. |
| VIPER06XS | 730 V MOSFET, 1.2 A peak current, 120 kHz max frequency, smaller SO-16 package; no TOVL pin for overload delay tuning. | Higher voltage rating suits 305 VAC industrial grids but lower current limits restrict to ≤15 W output. | Prefer for high-altitude or 305 VAC applications where 620 V margin is insufficient, accepting reduced power capability. |
Compared with ICE3B0565J and VIPER06XS, the VIPER53SP-E uniquely balances 620 V ruggedness, adjustable 2 A current limit, and certified <0.5 W standby-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, globally compliant 20–30 W AC/DC designs where primary-side regulation suffices.

FAQ
What is the minimum external capacitor value required on the COMP pin?
A minimum 8 nF ceramic capacitor must be placed between COMP and SOURCE pins to ensure stability of the transconductance error amplifier. STMicroelectronics specifies 10 nF as the recommended value, and omitting this capacitor causes oscillation or erratic PWM behavior due to phase margin loss in the control loop.
Can VIPER53SP-E operate without an optocoupler in all applications?
Yes-it supports primary-side regulation using only the transformer's auxiliary winding to feed VDD, leveraging the internal 15 V reference and error amplifier. This configuration achieves ±5% output regulation across line and load for non-precision applications like auxiliary rails, eliminating optocoupler cost and aging concerns.
How does the TOVL pin affect overload response time?
The TOVL pin accepts an external capacitor that sets a fixed 8 ms delay before overload shutdown triggers after VCOMP exceeds 4.35 V. A 100 nF capacitor yields exactly 8 ms; larger values increase delay linearly, allowing designers to tolerate brief surges without false trips.
What thermal derating applies when using the DIP-8 package on standard FR4?
With 50 mm² of 35 µm copper connected to the DRAIN tab, RthJA is 80 °C/W. At 25 °C ambient, maximum continuous power must be limited to ~1.5 W to keep junction temperature below 125 °C-requiring careful heatsinking or airflow for sustained 30 W operation.
