Description
The SEA05 is a highly integrated solution for
SMPS applications requiring a dual control loop to
perform CV (constant voltage) and CC (constant
current) regulation.
The device integrates a voltage reference, two opamps (with OR-ed open-drain outputs), and a lowside current sensing circuit.
The voltage reference, along with one op-amp, is
the core of the voltage control loop; the current
sensing circuit and the other op-amp make up the
current control loop.
The external components needed to complete the
two control loops are: a resistor divider that
senses the output of the power supply and fixes
the voltage regulation setpoint at the specified
value; a sense resistor that feeds the current
sensing circuit with a voltage proportional to the
dc output current; this resistor determines the
current regulation setpoint and must be
SOT23 - 6L
adequately rated in terms of power dissipation;
the frequency compensation components (R-C
networks) for both loops.
The device, housed in one of the smallest
available package, is ideal for space-shrunk
applications such as adapters and chargers.

Inverting input of the current loop op-amp. The pin is tied to the cold end of the
current sense resistor through a decoupling resistor.
Ground. Return of the bias current of the device. 0 V reference for all voltages.
The pin should be tied as close to the ground output terminal of the converter as
possible to minimize load current effect on the voltage regulation setpoint.
Inverting input of the voltage loop op-amp. The pin is tied to the mid-point of a
resistor divider that senses the output voltage.
Non-inverting input of the current loop op-amp. It is tied directly to the hot
(negative) end of the current sense resistor
Common open-drain output of the two internal op-amps. The pin, able to sink
current only, is connected to the branch of the optocoupler’s photodiode to
transmit the error signal to the primary side.
