PFC controller
7.3.4 Overvoltage protection (SNSBOOST pin)
To prevent output overvoltage during load steps and mains transients, an overvoltage
protection circuit is built in.
When the voltage on the SNSBOOST pin exceeds the V
ovp(stop)
level and is outside the
V
det(L)SNSBOOST
and V
det(H)SNSBOOST
window for a minimum period of t
d(ovp)
(100 s),
switching of the power factor correction circuit is inhibited. When the SNSBOOST pin
voltage drops to below the V
ovp(start)
(V
ovp(stop)
V
hys(ovp)
) level again, the switching of the
PFC recommences. The IC always restarts with a soft start (see Section 7.4.1
).
7.3.5 PFC open-loop protection (VOSENSE pin)
The PFC does not start switching until the voltage on the SNSBOOST pin exceeds
V
scp(start)
. This function acts as short circuit protection for the boost voltage
(SCP-SNSBOOST; see Table 3
).
7.3.6 Overcurrent protection (PFCSENSE pin)
Sensing the voltage across an external sense resistor, R
sense
, on the source of the
external MOSFET, limits the maximum peak current cycle-by-cycle. The voltage is
measured via the SNSCUR pin.
7.3.7 Fast latch reset
The restart of the system after a protection is triggered depends on the type of protection.
In a safe restart protection (only applicable for the LLC), the system typically restarts after
the restart delay time (1 sec).
It is different for latched protections. Typically, in a latched protection, the SUPIC must
reach the undervoltage protection level to release the protection mode and to restart the
system. The release/restart can only be achieved by disconnecting the mains.
In the protection mode, the TEA19161T/TEA19161CT regulates the voltage of the SUPIC
pin to its start level. The PFC output capacitor supplies the SUPIC pin via the SUPHV pin
of the TEA19161T/TEA19161CT. So it takes a long time before the voltage of the SUPIC
pin drops below its undervoltage level after the mains is disconnected. To prevent this
delay, a special fast latch reset function is implemented in the TEA19162T, which also
releases the protection mode when the mains is reconnected.
