Working Principle
NCP161AFCT185T2G uses the typical voltage regulating circuit. It has two essential parts: an error amplifier and an output transistor. First, the sense resistor and reference voltage source are combined to generate a 0.1V to 0.3V difference voltage across the error amplifier\'s two inputs. Then, the error amplifier will compare this difference voltage with the output voltage and produces an error voltage that is proportional to the load current. This error voltage will be sent to the output transistor for further control and the output voltage will be maintained in a stable range.
