Introduction

This user manual provides information for developing applications with the STNRG011A digital combo multi-mode PFC and
time-shift LLC resonant controller.
The STNRG011A is a STMicroelectronics

®

digital device tailored for SMPS applications. It embodies a multi-mode (transition-

mode and DCM) PFC controller, a high voltage doubleended controller for the LLC resonant half-bridge, an 800 V-rated startup
generator and a sophisticated digital engine, that manages optimal operation of the three blocks.
All the key application parameter of the device are stored into an internal NVM (non-volatile memory), allowing wide
configurability and calibration.
This user manual goes in detail through all the NVM parameters and explains how to set them in a real application. For any
other information about STNRG011A product, please refer to the STNRG011A datasheet.
