VIPER27HN

STMicroelectronics · AC-DC Controllers and Regulators · DIP-7

VIPER27HN from STMicroelectronics, in a DIP-7. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 GND power_in Device ground and source of the internal high-voltage power MOSFET. Return for the VDD supply and reference for CONT, FB and BR.
2 VDD power_in Supply voltage of the low-voltage control section (typ. UVLO on ~14.5 V, off ~8 V). Also provides the charging current to the external VDD capacitor during start-up via the internal high-voltage start-up generator taken from DRAIN.
3 CONT input Multifunction control pin: (1) programs the cycle-by-cycle current-limit set point of the power MOSFET by tying an external resistor to GND, reducing the internal default IDlim; (2) monitors an auxiliary/output voltage - when the voltage exceeds the VOVP threshold the IC is shut down (strobed and digitally filtered for noise immunity). Tie to ground if unused.
4 FB input Feedback input for duty-cycle (PWM) control. An internal current generator biases the loop; a voltage below VFBbm activates burst-mode operation for very light loads, and a voltage close to VFBlin corresponds to reaching the cycle-by-cycle over-current set point. VFB absolute range -0.3 to 5.5 V.
5 BR input Brown-out protection input with hysteresis. A voltage below VBRth (non-latched) shuts down the device and lowers consumption; operation restarts once the pin exceeds VBRth + VBRhyst. Bias current IBR ≈ 0.5 mA max. Tie to GND when the function is not used.
7 DRAIN power_in High-voltage drain of the internal 800 V avalanche-rugged power MOSFET. Also sources the built-in high-voltage switched start-up bias current for VDD. Pins are connected to the metal lead-frame to help heat dissipation - copper heatsink area should be placed under the DRAIN pins.
8 DRAIN power_in Second high-voltage drain lead of the internal 800 V power MOSFET; internally tied to pin 7. Used together with pin 7 for current handling and thermal dissipation through the lead-frame.
