TEA18361T
GreenChip SMPS control IC
to maximum 1.45 V. At room temperature the resistance value of the NTC resistor is much
higher than at high temperature. Due to the clamp, the current out of the PROTECT pin is
1.45 V divided by the resistance, which is significantly lower than 74 A.
A filter capacitor can be connected to this pin.
To avoid false triggering, an internal filter of 2 ms to 4 ms is applied.
The PROTECT pin can also be a power-down mode pin (see Section 7.10
).
7.6.4 OverTemperature Protection (OTP)
Integrated OTP ensures that the IC stops switching if the junction temperature exceeds
the thermal temperature shutdown limit. OTP is a latched protection.
7.6.5 Maximum on-time
The controller limits the on-time of the external MOSFET to 55 s. When the on-time is
longer, the IC stops switching and enters safe restart mode.
7.6.6 Safe restart
If a protection is triggered and the system enters the safe restart mode, the system
restarts after 800 ms. Because the system is not switching, the VCC pin is supplied from
the mains via the HV pin.
After the 800 ms, the control IC measures the mains voltage. if the mains voltage exceeds
the brownin level, the control IC activates the PROTECT pin current source and the
internal voltage sources connected to the CTRL pin. Once the voltages on these pins
reach a minimum level, the soft start capacitor on the ISENSE pin is charged and the
system starts switching again.
The V
CC
is continuously regulated to the V
startup
level until the output voltage is within the
regulation level again.
7.6.7 Latched protection
If a protection is triggered and the system enters the latched protection mode, the V
CC
is
continuously regulated to the V
startup
level via the HV current source. As long as the AC
voltage remains, the system does not switch.
Removing the mains for a short time is the only possibility to restart the system.
7.6.8 Fast latch reset
Fast latch reset is a simple and fast method to reset the system when it is in latched
protection mode or safe restart mode. This function is used during production testing.
When the latched protection mode or safe restart mode is triggered, the voltage on pin
VCC is fast discharged by an internal current source (I
CC(dch)
); see Figure 10). The fast
discharge avoids an additional waiting period if the VCC voltage is high. When shorting
the mains, the waiting period is only the time of the discharge from V
startup
to V
