1. General description
The TEA1731TS is a low cost Switched Mode Power Supply (SMPS) controller IC
intended for flyback topologies. The TEA1731TS operates in peak current and frequency
control mode. Frequency jitter has been implemented to reduce ElectroMagnetic
Interference (EMI). Slope compensation is integrated for Continuous Conduction Mode
(CCM) operation.
The TEA1731TS IC features OverPower Protection (OPP). The controller accepts an
overpower situation for a limited amount of time.
One pin is reserved for protection purposes. OverTemperature Protection (OTP) can be
implemented with a minimal number of external components.
At low-power levels, the primary peak current is set to 25 % of the maximum peak current.
The switching frequency is reduced to limit the switching losses. The combination of fixed
frequency operation at high output power and frequency reduction at low output power
provides high efficiency over the total load range.
The TEA1731TS makes the design of low cost, highly efficient and reliable supplies for
power requirements up to 75 W easier by requiring a minimum number of external
components.

Typical configuration
7.2 Start-up and UnderVoltage LockOut (UVLO)
Initially, the capacitor on the VCC pin, C3, is charged from the high-voltage mains via
resistor R1.
As long as VCC is below V
startup
, the IC current consumption is low (10
A
typical). When
VCC reaches V
startup
, the IC first waits for the PROTECT pin to reach the V
det(PROTECT)(L)
voltage. When V
det(PROTECT)(L)
is reached, the IC charges the ISENSE pin to the V
start(soft)
level and then starts switching. In a typical application, the auxiliary winding of the
transformer takes over the supply voltage.
If a protection is triggered, the controller stops switching. Depending on the protection
triggered, it either causes a restart or latches the converter to an off-state.
A restart protection disables the switching of the IC. The supply voltage of the IC drops to
the UVLO level. When the UVLO level is reached, the IC switches to Power-down mode,
where it consumes a low supply current (10
A
typical). The VCC capacitor is recharged
via R1 until the VCC start-up level is reached. A delayed restart is performed to lower the
input power during a fault condition. Depending on the cause of the restart protection, the
restart sequence that discharges and recharges the VCC capacitor is performed once or
repeated three times, before switching recommences (See
Figure 4).
When a latched protection is triggered, the TEA1731TS immediately enters Power-down
mode. The VCC pin is clamped to a voltage just above the latch protection reset voltage
(V
rst(latch)
+ 0.9 V).

Start-up sequence, normal operation and restart sequence
When the voltage on pin VCC drops below the V
th(UVLO)
level during normal operation, the
controller stops switching. The TEA1731TS waits for the rectified mains to charge the
VCC pin using resistor R1.
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 (pin VCC)
An OverVoltage Protection (OVP) circuit is connected to the VCC pin. When the V
CC
exceeds V
th(OVP)
(30 V typical) for four consecutive switching cycles, the IC triggers the
latched protection. When V
CC
drops below V
th(OVP)
before count = 4 is reached, the
counter is reset to zero.
If a lower over voltage protection level is needed, a Zener diode can be connected
between pins VCC and PROTECT.
7.5 Protection input (pin PROTECT)
Pin PROTECT is a general-purpose input pin, which can be used to switch off the
converter (latched protection). The converter is stopped when the voltage on this pin is
pulled above V
det(H)(PROTECT)
(0.8 V typical) or below V
det(L)(PROTECT)
(0.5 V typical) for
four consecutive converter strokes. A current of 32
A
(typical) flows out of the chip when
the pin voltage is V
det(L)(PROTECT)
. A current of 107
A
(typical.) flows into the chip when
the pin voltage is V
det(H)(PROTECT)
.
The PROTECT input can be used for creating an (additional) overvoltage detection and
an external OverTemperature Protection (OTP) function.
