TEA1792T
GreenChip synchronous rectifier controller
7. Functional description
7.1 Introduction
The TEA1792T is the controller for synchronous rectification used in discontinuous
conduction mode and quasi-resonant flyback converters.
7.2 Start-up and UnderVoltage LockOut (UVLO)
The IC leaves the undervoltage lockout state and activates the synchronous rectifier
circuitry when the voltage on the V
CC
pin is above 8.5 V (typical). When the voltage drops
below 8.0 V (typical), the undervoltage lockout state is entered again and the SR driver
output is actively kept low.
7.3 Synchronous rectification
After a negative voltage lower than V
act(drv)
(220 mV typical) is sensed on the SRSENSE
pin, the driver output voltage is driven HIGH. Then the external MOSFET is switched on.
When the SRSENSE voltage rises to V
reg(drv)
42 mV/30 mV), the driver output voltage
is regulated to maintain the V
reg(drv)
on the SRSENSE pin. When the SRSENSE voltage is
above the V
deact(drv)
level (12 mV typical), the driver output is pulled to ground.
After switch-on of the SR MOSFET, the input signal on the SRSENSE pin is blanked
during the t
act(sr)(min)
(1.8 s typical). This action eliminates false switch-off due to high
frequency ringing at the start of the secondary stroke.
When the voltage on the SRSENSE pin is V
reg(drv)
, the driver output voltage is reduced.
This reduction enables the external power switch to be switched off quickly when the
current through the switch reaches zero. The zero current switch-off removes the need for
a separate Standby mode to maintain high efficiency during the no-load operation. The
zero current is detected by sensing a V
deact(drv)
(12 mV typical) level on the SRSENSE
pin (see Figure 3
).
