OVERVIEW
The C2471 controllers use CamSemi’s low power Resonant Discontinuous Forward Converter (RDFC)
topology to create a high efficiency, low cost alternative to line-frequency transformer PSUs, for applications
up to 6 W. By operating in resonant mode, EMI is greatly reduced, enabling the replacement of linear PSUs
in demanding applications such as audio products and cordless phone chargers. The C2471 controllers also
offer overload protection which is usually associated with more expensive switch mode solutions.
