The µHVIC family is a tool kit of ICs for common circuit elements in switched mode power (SMPS) electronics. The family offers engineers simple, flexible ICs with which to conveniently design and innovate. The µHVIC family utilizes IR’s proven high-voltage IC technology to realize multiple functions and integrate robust protective features in an SOT23 package. The family is available in a small 5 lead or 6 lead SOT23 package, offering a cost effective and easy to implement solution, simplifying design and reducing time to market.

“The new µHVIC ICs are easy-to-use circuit building blocks for engineers to conveniently mix and match. The ICs can be rearranged into multiple topologies. Their use is limited only by the imagination of the designer,” said Ahmed Masood, Executive Director of Consumer Products, IR’s Energy Saving Products Business Unit.
