What is the standby power consumption of TNY277GN?
The TNY277GN achieves very low standby power, typically less than 50 mW at 230 VAC. This is achieved through the EcoSmart technology, which reduces power consumption in light-load and no-load conditions. This makes the device suitable for energy-efficient designs that meet Energy Star requirements.
Can TNY277GN be used in battery chargers?
Yes, the TNY277GN is well-suited for battery chargers. Its 18.5 W output power and universal input range make it ideal for charging applications such as mobile phone chargers and small appliance chargers. The ON/OFF control scheme simplifies the design and reduces component count.
What is the difference between TNY277GN and TNY278GN?
The TNY277GN and TNY278GN are both from the TinySwitch-III family, but the TNY278GN offers higher output power. Specifically, the TNY278GN can deliver up to 21.5 W from 85-265 VAC, compared to 18.5 W for the TNY277GN. Both share the same SMD-8C package and pinout, making them drop-in replacements with different power ratings.
Is TNY277GN RoHS compliant?
Yes, the TNY277GN is RoHS compliant. Power Integrations manufactures this device to meet the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive, ensuring it is free from lead, mercury, cadmium, and other restricted substances. This makes it suitable for use in products sold in the European Union and other regions with RoHS regulations.
What is the price of TNY277GN?
As of 2026-08-21, the TNY277GN is priced at approximately $1.25 per unit for single quantities, with volume pricing dropping to around $0.75 per unit at 1000 pieces. Prices may vary by distributor and quantity. Check DigiKey or Mouser for current pricing and availability.
Where can I buy TNY277GN?
The TNY277GN is available from major distributors such as DigiKey and Mouser. You can also purchase it directly from Power Integrations or authorized distributors. As of 2026-08-21, DigiKey lists it as in stock and ships the same day. Check the distributor websites for the latest inventory and pricing.
What is the lead time for TNY277GN?
The lead time for TNY277GN is typically 2-4 weeks from major distributors like DigiKey and Mouser, depending on stock levels. For large volume orders, it may be longer. As of 2026-08-21, DigiKey shows it as in stock, so immediate shipment is possible for small quantities.
Can TNY277GN be replaced by TNY277PN?
The TNY277PN is a through-hole version of the same TinySwitch-III device, but it uses a DIP-8 package instead of the SMD-8C. Therefore, it is not a drop-in replacement for the TNY277GN because the package and pinout differ. You would need to redesign the PCB to use the TNY277PN.
What is the best drop-in replacement for TNY277GN?
The best drop-in replacement for TNY277GN is the TNY278GN, which is pin-compatible and shares the same SMD-8C package. The TNY278GN offers higher output power (21.5 W vs 18.5 W) and is a direct substitute. Other TinySwitch-III family members like TNY276GN are also pin-compatible but have lower power ratings.
Where can I download the TNY277GN datasheet PDF?
You can download the TNY277GN datasheet PDF from the Power Integrations website at https://www.power.com/sites/default/files/product-docs/tny274-280.pdf. The datasheet covers the entire TinySwitch-III family, including pinout, specifications, and application circuits.

Key Differentiators

  • Integrated 700V MOSFET (vs TNY276GN)
  • Higher output power than TNY275GN (vs TNY275GN)
  • Lower standby power than TNY280GN (vs TNY280GN)

Design Notes

For optimal thermal performance, ensure a large copper area on the PCB connected to the SOURCE pins (pins 2, 3, 4). This helps dissipate heat from the internal MOSFET. Use multiple vias to connect the top and bottom layers for better heat spreading. Refer to the TinySwitch-III datasheet for recommended PCB layout guidelines.

The BP/M pin (pin 1) is used for bypassing the internal supply and also for selecting the current limit. Connect a 0.1 Β΅F capacitor between BP/M and SOURCE. Do not leave this pin unconnected. The current limit selection is done by the value of this capacitor; refer to the datasheet for the correct value for your application.

The TNY277GN features frequency jittering to reduce EMI. To further minimize EMI, place a small ferrite bead on the drain connection and ensure the transformer is properly shielded. Follow the layout recommendations in the datasheet to keep the high-voltage traces short and away from sensitive control circuitry.
