PT8A3290WEX

Power Management - Specialized Overview

The PT8A3290WEX is a mixed-signal CMOS LSI heating controller manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. Designed for use with external NTC sensors, it supports dual voltage operations at 120V and 240V. The device features auto temperature control, NTC open protection, and proportional control algorithms. It includes multi-mode LED indicators and pulse triggering for high-current SCRs or TRIACs up to 15mA. Internal zener regulation ensures stability, while an auto-heating off function activates after a timer timeout. The component is housed in an 8-SOIC package.
