Microchip Technology MIC38HC42BN

MIC38HC42BN Overview
The specific brand of this component is known as Microchip Technology. It falls under the category of PMIC - AC DC Converters, Offline Switchers, which refers to its function as a power management integrated circuit for converting AC to DC and operating without a direct connection to the power source. The mounting type for this chip is Through Hole, meaning it is designed to be inserted and soldered onto a circuit board. The supplier device package is 8-DIP, indicating the physical size and shape of the chip. It is designed to operate within a temperature range of -40°C to 150°C, known as the TJ temperature. The Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for this chip is 1, meaning it has an unlimited shelf life and can withstand exposure to moisture without any negative effects. The voltage supply range for this chip is 9V to 20V, indicating the range of input voltage it can handle. It also has the control feature of Frequency Control, meaning the frequency of the output can be adjusted. The switching frequency for this chip is 500kHz, which is the rate at which it converts the input AC voltage to DC. The duty cycle, or the percentage of time the chip is on, is 96%. The voltage at which the chip will start up is 14.5V. Finally, the RoHS Status is Non-RoHS Compliant, indicating that the chip does not comply with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive, a European Union regulation that restricts the use of certain hazardous materials in electronic and electrical equipment.
