TEA1738T; TEA1738LT
GreenChip SMPS control IC
When the voltage on pin VCC drops below the V
th(UVLO)
level during normal operation, the
controller stops switching and the TEA1738T enters Restart mode. In Restart mode the
driver output is disabled and the VCC pin voltage is recharged via resistor R3 to the
rectified mains voltage. For the TEA1738LT a VCC undervoltage, which does not occur
during a start-up event, latches the IC in an off-state.
7.3 Supply management
All internal reference voltages are derived from a temperature compensated on-chip band
gap circuit. Internal reference currents are derived from a trimmed and temperature
compensated current reference circuit.
7.4 OverVoltage Protection (VCC pin)
An OVP circuit is connected to the VCC pin. After 8 consecutive OVP cycles the IC
triggers the latched protection. When V
CC
drops below the V
th(OVP)
voltage before count=8
is reached, the counter is reset to zero.
If a lower overvoltage protection level is needed, a Zener diode can be connected
between the VCC pin and the PROTECT pin.
7.5 Input voltage detection (VINSENSE pin)
In a typical application the mains input voltage can be detected by the VINSENSE pin.
Switching does not take place until the voltage on VINSENSE has reached the
V
start(VINSENSE)
voltage (0.94 V typical).
When during operation the VINSENSE voltage drops below V
det(L)(VINSENSE)
(0.72 V typical), the converter stops switching and performs a restart.
An internal clamp of 5.2 V (typical) protects this pin from excessive voltages.
