FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The TEA1620P is the heart of a compact flyback
converter, with the IC placed at the primary side. The
auxiliary winding of the transformer can be used for
indirect feedback to control the isolated output. This
additional winding also powers the IC. A more accurate
control of the output voltage and/or current can be
implemented with an additional secondary sensing circuit
and optocoupler feedback.
The TEA1620P uses voltage modecontrol. The frequency
isdeterminedbythemaximum transformer demagnetizing
time and the time of the oscillator. In the first case, the
converter operates in the Self Oscillating Power Supply
(SOPS) mode. In the latter case, it operates at a constant
frequency, which can be adjusted with external
components RRC and CRC. This mode is called Pulse
WidthModulation(PWM).Furthermore,aprimarystrokeis
startedonlyinavalleyofthesecondary ringing. This valley
switching principle minimizes capacitive switch-on losses.
Start-up and under voltage lock-out
Initially, the IC is self supplying from the rectified mains
voltage. The IC starts switching as soon as the voltage on
pin VCC passes the V
level. The supply is taken
CC(start)
over by the auxiliary winding of the transformer as soon as
VCCis high enough and the supply from the line is stopped
for high efficiency operation.
As soon as the voltage on pin VCC drops below the
V
CC(stop)
level, the IC stops switching and restarts from the
rectified mains voltage.
Oscillator
The frequency of the oscillator is set by the external
resistor and capacitor on pin RC. The external capacitor is
charged rapidly to the V
new primary stroke, it discharges to the V
level and, starting from a
RC(max)
RC(min)
level.
Because the discharge is exponential, the relative
sensitivity of the duty factor to the regulationvoltage at low
duty factor is almost equal to the sensitivity at high duty
factors. This results in a more constant gain over the duty
factor range compared to PWM systems with a linear
sawtooth oscillator. Stable operation at low duty factors is
easily realized. For high efficiency, the frequency is
reduced as soon as the duty factor drops below a certain
value. This is accomplished by increasing the oscillator
charge time.
TEA1620P
regulation voltage is equal to the external regulation
voltage (minus 2.5 V) multiplied by the gain of the error
amplifier (typical 20 dB (10 ×)).
Valley switching
A new cycle is started when the primary switch is switched
on (see Fig.3). After a certain time (determined by the
oscillator voltage RC and the internal regulation level), the
switch is turned off and the secondary stroke starts. The
internal regulation level is determined by the voltage on
pin REG. After the secondary stroke, the drain voltage
shows an oscillation with a frequency of approximately
---------------------------------------------------2 π× LpCp×()×()
where L
parasitic capacitance on the drain node.
As soon as the oscillator voltage is high again and the
secondary stroke has ended, the circuit waits for a low
drain voltage before starting a new primary stroke.
Figure 3 shows the drain voltage together with the valley
signal, the signal indicating the secondary stroke and the
RC voltage.
The primary stroke starts some time before the actual
valley at low ringing frequencies, and some time after the
actual valley at high ringing frequencies. Figure 4 shows a
typical curve for a reflected output voltage N × V
This voltage is the output voltage Vo (see Fig.5)
transferred to the primary side of the transformer with the
factor N (determined by the turns ratio of the transformer).
Figure 4 shows that the system switches exactly at
minimum drain voltage for ringing frequencies of 480 kHz,
thus reducing the switch-on losses to a minimum.
At 200 kHz,the next primary stroke is started at 33°before
the valley. The switch-on losses are still reduced
significantly.
