IPS20 and IPS21 Print
Feedback Controllers With Low Current Sense Voltage
The IPS20 and IPS21 are low-voltage current sensing feedback controllers used in switch mode power supplies to control load-side current and voltage. They have been designed to limit the power dissipated in the sensing circuitry for high output current applications that require current limiting. They both incorporate a 4V shunt regulator for maximum flexibility to power the chip.

The IPS20 and IPS21 only differ by the characteristics of the current sensing references.The IPS20 incorporates a trimmed 50mV reference with a positive temperature coefficient which closely matches that of a PCB copper trace. This copper trace sensing method can be used inexpensively with very low associated power losses. The IPS21 incorporates a temperature compensated 100mV reference for more conventional resistors. Both controllers feature the same voltage regulator section with a trimmed temperature stable voltage reference of 1.19V.
