1. General description
The TEA1795T is a member of the new generation of Synchronous Rectifier (SR)
controller ICs for switched mode power supplies. Its high level of integration enables the
design of a cost-effective power supply with a minimum number of external components.
The TEA1795T is a dedicated controller IC for synchronous rectification on the secondary
side of resonant converters. It has two driver stages for driving the SR MOSFETs, which
are rectifying the outputs of the central tap secondary transformer windings.
The two gate driver stages have their own sensing inputs and operate independently of
each other.
The TEA1795T is fabricated in a Silicon On Insulator (SOI) process.
2. Features and benefits

3. Applications
The TEA1795T is intended for resonant power supplies. In such applications, it can drive
two external synchronous rectifier MOSFETs which replace diodes for the rectification of
the voltages on the two secondary windings of the transformer. It can be used in
applications such as:
Adapters
ATX power supplies
TEA1795T
GreenChip synchronous rectifier controller
