TSM1012 is a highly integrated solution for SMPS
applications requiring CV (constant voltage) and
CC (constant current) mode.
TSM1012 integrates one voltage reference and
two operational amplifiers (with ORed outputs common collect or s).
The voltage reference combined with one
operational amplifier makes it an ideal voltage
controller. The other operational, combined with
few external resistors and the voltage reference,
can be used as a current limiter.

1. Test conditions: pin 2 and 6 connected to GND, pin 4 and 5 connected to 1. 25V, pin 3 connected to 200mV.
2. The current depends on the difference voltage between the negative and the positive inputs of the amplifier. If the voltage on the minus
input is 1mV higher than the positive amplifier, the sinking current at the outpu t OUT will be incr eased by Gm*1mA.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION AND APPLICATION HINTS
1. Voltage and Current Control
1.1. Voltage Control
The voltage loop is co ntrolled via a first trans conductance operational amplifi er, the res istor bridg e
R1, R2, and the optocoupler which is directly connected to the output.
The relation between the values of R1 and R2
should be chosen as written in Equation 1.
R1 = R2 x Vref / (Vout - Vref) Eq1
Where Vout is the desired output voltage.
To avoid the discharge of the load, the resistor
bridge R1, R2 should b e highly resist ive. For this
type of application, a total value of 100KΩ (or
more) would be appropriate for the resistors R1
and R2.
As an example, with R2 = 100KΩ, Vout = 4. 10V,
Vref = 1.210V, then R1 = 41.9KΩ.
Note that if the low drop diode should be ins erted
between the load and the voltage regulation resistor bridge to avo id current flowing from the load
through the resistor bridge, this drop should be
taken into account in the above calculations by replacing Vout by (Vout + Vdrop).
Note that the Rsense resistor should be chosen
taking into account the maximum dissipation
(Plim) through it during full load operation.
Plim = Vsense x Ilim. eq3
Therefore, for most adapter and battery charger
applications, a quarter-watt, or half-watt resistor to
make the current sensing function is sufficient.
The current sinking outputs of the two trans-connuctance operational amplifiers are common (to
the output of the IC). This m akes an ORi ng function which ensures that whenever the current or
the voltage reaches too hig h value s, the opt ocoupler is activated.
The relation between the controlled current and
the controlled output voltage can be described
with a square charac teristic as shown in the following V/I output-power graph.

1.2. Current Control
The current loop is controlled via the second
trans-conductance operational amplifier, the
sense resistor Rsense, and the optocoupler.
Vsense threshold is achieved externally by a resistor bridge tied to the Vre f voltage ref erence. Its
middle point is tied to the positive inp ut of the current control ope ra tio nal a mpl ifi er, and i ts fo ot is t o
be connected to lower potential point of the sense
resistor as shown o n the follow ing figure. T he resistors of this bridge are ma tched to provide the
best precision possible
The control equation verifies:
Rsense x Ilim = Vsense eq2
Vsense = R5*Vref/(R4+R5)
Ilim = R5*Vref/(R4+R5)*Rsense eq2'
where Ilim is the desired limited current, and
Vsense is the threshold voltage for the current
control loop.

output and negative i nput are directly accessible
for external compensation components.
An example of a suitable compensation network is
shown in Fig.2. It consists of a capacitor
Cvc1=2.2nF and a resistor Rcv1=22KΩ in series.

Cic1=2.2nF and a resistor Ric1=22KΩ in series.
3. Start Up and Short Circuit Conditions
Under start-up or short-circuit conditions the
TSM1012 is not provided with a high enough supply voltage. This is due to the fact that the chip has
its power supply line in common with the power
supply line of the system.
Therefore, the current limitation can only be ensured by the primary PWM module, w hich should
be chosen accordingly.
If the primary current limitation is considered not to
be precise enough for the application, then a sufficient supply for the TSM1012 has to be ensured
under any condition. It would then be necessary to
add some circuitry to su pply the chi p with a separate power line. This can be achieved in numerous
ways, including an additional winding on the transformer.
4. Voltage clamp
The following sche matic shows how to realize a
low-cost power suppl y for the TSM1012 (with no
additional windings).Please pay attention to the
fact that in the particular case presented here, this
low-cost power supply can reach voltages as high
as twice the voltage of the regulated line. Since
the Absolute Maximum Rating of the TSM1012
supply voltage is 28V. In the aim to protect he
TSM1012 against su ch how voltage values a internal zener clamp is integrated.
