content: LOL. Sell to whom at higher price? Company which produces them does not give a shit about profit from selling them as spare parts.

content: there are some online shops that sell it for about ten times higher than other sop8 PWM ICs.and because there is no datasheet I thought maybe it's some well known ics that they changed the part number.

content: If you want to find a replacement you have to do a bit effort and get the schematics around it, a lot of people here are familiar with SMPS and popular chips and they will most likely recognize what the Chinese cloned.My entry in the contestis:https://www.onsemi.com/pdf/datasheet/ncp1230-d.pdf.

content: after I compare the NCP1230 pins to the board looks like it match the pinout of SI8016HSP8.

content: There are tons of SMPS controllers which have the same or similar pinout. But it does not mean they are compatible. When finding a substitute, a lot more consideration is needed rather than just comparing the pinouts. There is probably another 10 SMPS controllers from onsemi with the same pinout, does not mean they are the same thing though.

content: It's worth about $3-4 on Chinese shopping site Taobao, a little expensive, but not too expensive, what price do you expect to get this chip for?

content: it is about 10$ in my country and ncp1200 is 1$i used 40kHz version of ncp1200 and mosfet get very hot under load.do you think if I use 100kHz version it be cooler?

content: Quote from: 800908 on March 14, 2022, 01:28:04 pmThe SI-Trend datasheet states "100kHz Switching Frequency with Frequency Hopping for Reducing EMI", so 100kHz would appear to be the design frequency for your circuit.

content: I checked the board again and I found that 10k resistor connected to pin 3 of IC was 1M and I changed it.now the mosfet is not hot.this is the circuit diagram of power supply.
