System power supply designers are confronted with extremely challenging design parameters in dealing with power consumption, physical space limitations, and EMI reduction issues to meet the required regulatory standards (like FCC, CSA, CSIPR, etc).
This family of PWM controllers is designed to replace the extremely popular series of "184X/384X" PWM controllers in a wide range of Switched Mode Power Supply applications, but with the unique additional advantage of a built-in EMI reduction engine. This additional EMI reduction capability has been achieved by implementing Alliance Semiconductor's proprietary Spread Spectrum Modulation technology.
Alliance Semiconductor expects to continue the product expansion as the line continues its evolution into even higher performance product offerings that address new SMPS markets demanding effective, inherent EMI reduction capability.
