Selection Guide

Choose VIPER26LDTR when you need a compact, surface-mount off-line converter with low standby power and integrated 800V MOSFET. It is ideal for applications up to 8W, such as auxiliary supplies, smart meters, and IoT devices. If you require a through-hole package, consider VIPER26HD. For higher output power, VIPER27LD (2A) or VIPER28LD (2.5A) are suitable. For non-ST alternatives, TNY286PG and LNK306PN are functional equivalents but require PCB layout changes due to different pinouts.

Key Differentiators

  • Integrated 800V MOSFET (vs TNY286PG)
  • Low standby power (vs LNK306PN)
  • SO-8 package with exposed pad (vs VIPER26HD)

Design Notes

The VIPER26LDTR in SO-8 package has a thermal resistance of 60Β°C/W. For 8W output, the power dissipation is typically 1-2W, resulting in a temperature rise of 60-120Β°C. Ensure adequate copper area on the PCB for heat dissipation, and consider a thermal pad connection to the ground plane.

Place the input bulk capacitor and output filter capacitor close to the IC to minimize loop area and reduce EMI. Use a star-ground topology to separate power ground from signal ground. The high-voltage DRAIN pins should have adequate creepage distance to low-voltage pins.

Do not exceed the maximum junction temperature of 150Β°C. Ensure the transformer is designed for the target output power and has proper isolation. The feedback loop must be compensated to avoid instability. Use a snubber circuit across the primary winding to suppress voltage spikes.
