GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The TEA1401T is a Self Oscillating Power Supply (SOPS) controller IC that operates directly from the rectified universal mains. It is implemented in the BCD power logic 750 V process and includes the high voltage power switch making an integrated single-switch flyback converter.

Dedicated circuitry for high power efficiency is built-in, which makes a slim-line electronic power plug concept possible.

The basic function is a galvanically isolated, combined current and voltage source. No electronics are required at the secondary side of the transformer. Implementation of the TEA1401T renders a simple, small and accurate battery charger system. The TEA1401T is capable of self starting directly from the high voltage mains line.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The TEA1401T is the heart of a compact flyback DC-to-DC converter, with the IC placed at the primary side. An auxiliary primary winding of the transformer is used for indirect feedback to control the isolated output. This extra winding also powers the device.

Control of the converted power is carried out by current mode control and Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM), as illustrated in Fig.1. The primary current is sensed by a comparator. The frequency is determined by the maximum of the transformer demagnetizing time and the time of the voltage controlled monostable multivibrator (single-shot).

The TEA1401T senses signals at the primary side of the transformer to reconstruct the current and voltage which are present at the secondary side. Comparison of these reconstructions with the internal reference leads to adaptation of the turn-off current level for the primary switch and also to adaptation of the single-shot time.

Current control (see Fig.3) The current through the main switch is measured by the

peak detector shown in Fig.1. The timing block generates a signal ‘secondary stroke’ which is logic 1 when the voltage of the auxiliary winding is negative. The measured peak current, multiplied by the ratio of the resistors connected to pins 4 (SOURCE) and 7 (R

), is

integrated by a capacitor during the secondary stroke. In this way a reconstruction is made of the secondary

charge transfer. The charge estimation Q-pulse’ (see Fig.3) is drawn from the capacitor at pin 8 (CI) for each pulse. Also this capacitor, the charge error memory, is continuously charged with the reference current. In this way the real (reconstructed) current is compared with the reference yielding the voltage VCI at pin 8. The VCI level provides the turn-off current level for the main switch and the single-shot time.

Input from the voltage part of the loop is used to improve the current reconstruction, resulting in a lower output conductance of the complete converter. In the block diagram this is denoted as ‘G

OUT

compensation’.

The block ‘I

PEAK

correction’ is able to increase the output

from the peak detector to improve line regulation.

Voltage control

The voltage from the auxiliary winding is sensed as a measure of the secondary voltage. During the secondary stroke the auxiliary winding delivers a negative voltage. This voltage is converted into a current by an external resistor at the R

pin between the transformer winding and virtual ground. This current is compared with a reference current.

The difference between the reconstructed voltage and the reference is integrated during the secondary stroke by a capacitor on the C

pin. The voltage on the CV pin is transferred, via a ‘track-and-hold’ circuit, to the connection point of the current and the voltage loop. The ‘track-and-hold’ output provides the turn-off current level for the main switch and the single-shot time.

The ‘track-and-hold’ circuit itself is present for loop stability.

Input from the current part of the loop is used to improve the voltage reconstruction, resulting in lower output impedance of the complete converter (analog to the current control). In the block diagram this is denoted as ‘R

OUT

compensation’.

Combined control

The two loops, I loop and V loop, each request their own turn-off current level for the main switch and single-shot time. The block ‘minimum’ in the block diagram outputs the lowest value of the two, preventing the output voltage or current from exceeding its nominal value. The output characteristics of the power plug are displayed in Fig.4 (with enabled foldback option).

Optional foldback (see Fig.4) The optional foldback feature of the TEA1401T is

performed by sensing the voltage of the auxiliary winding at the end of the flyback stroke. It is actually not a voltage, but the current through pin 12 (RV) that is measured. When this voltage is low, the reference current in the current control loop is set to the low level J

ref

/3.

The steep foldback enables a turn-down of the converter by short-circuiting the output on the secondary side, for example by a switch-transistor.

Overshoot protection

Sensing the voltage during the previously mentioned flyback stroke is also used to signal a voltage overshoot. A voltage overshoot will delay and minimize the next active stroke. This is achieved by discharging the capacitor in the ‘track-and-hold’ circuit (see Fig.1). In this way the power level of the converter is turned down to its minimum immediately in case of a voltage overshoot.

Minimum output power

Under no-load condition an additional external pre-load resistor (or Zener diode) is necessary to keep the output voltage at its nominal value (or at the Zener diode voltage).

This is due to the fact that under no-load condition and also at voltage overshoot the converter will keep operating instead of being switched off. Although the converter then will operate with a short active stroke and a low frequency, energy is still being converted to the output. To prevent excessive output voltage this energy has to be dissipated.

The advantage of a pre-load resistor over a Zener diode is that the converter will stay in regulation, maintaining its fast response to load variations.

Duty cycle control

The momentary power level required by the I/V control loop is achieved by controlling the duty cycle of the converter by two actions. First the peak value of the primary current is controlled using a cycle-by-cycle current control. Secondly the pulse frequency is modulated. There is a broad region in which both regulation principles are active simultaneously. Both controls have a minimum and a maximum value which are set by the resistor on the SOURCE pin and the capacitor on the C

PFM

pin.

SOPS and PFM

The switching frequency f

is set by the transformer demagnetizing time or the frequency control block within the IC (block ‘single-shot’ in Fig.1).

At a high power level the transformer determines the frequency. This mode of operation is called Self Oscillating Power Supply (SOPS), and provides maximum efficiency (for a non-continuous conducting flyback converter). In SOPS the next primary stroke is started right after the previous secondary stroke has ended. Timing information is collected from the auxiliary winding.

The SOPS frequency will increase when the power level decreases. The frequency however is limited by the PFM controller (single-shot). When the PFM controller takes over, the frequency will be proportional to the required power level. Thus the frequency is reduced when the power level decreases. In PFM there is a variable dead time after the secondary stroke. The next primary stroke is started after the single-shot time has ended.

Supply

Initially the IC is powered by a high DC input voltage at pin 1 (V

). In operation the auxiliary winding takes over. In the event that the auxiliary winding delivers insufficient power for the internal circuitry of the IC, this deficit is supplemented again via pin 1 (Vin).

The supply voltage for the internal circuitry is buffered with an external capacitor at pin 14 (VIC). When the auxiliary winding powers the IC, energy is stored during the active stroke. The rest of the time energy is supplied by the buffer capacitor.

Protections

The IC has a cycle-by-cycle current regulation, with a built-in setting for the absolute maximum voltage across the current sense resistor. Also a maximum time is set for the duration of the active stroke. A provision for temperature shut down has been implemented.
