1. General description
The TEA152x family STARplug is a Switched Mode Power Supply (SMPS) controller IC
that operates directly from the rectified universal mains. It is implemented in the
high-voltage EZ-HV SOI process, combined with a low-voltage Bipolar Complementary
Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (BiCMOS) process. The device includes a high-voltage
power switch and a circuit for start-up directly from the rectified mains voltage.
A dedicated circuit for valley switching is built in, which makes a very efficient slim-line
electronic power-plug concept possible.
In its most basic version of application, the TEA152x family acts as a voltage source.
Here, no additional secondary electronics are required. A combined voltage and current
source can be realized with minimum costs for external components. Implementation of
the TEA152x family renders an efficient and low cost power supply system.

Description
8. Functional description
The TEA152x family is the heart of a compact flyback converter, with the IC placed at the
primary side. The auxiliary winding of the transformer can be used for indirect feedback to
control the isolated output. This additional winding also powers the IC. A more accurate
control of the output voltage and/or current can be implemented with an additional
secondary sensing circuit and optocoupler feedback.
The TEA152x family uses voltage mode control. The frequency is determined by the
maximum transformer demagnetizing time and the time of the oscillator. In the first case,
the converter operates in the Self-Oscillating Power Supply (SOPS) mode. In the latter
case, it operates at a constant frequency, which can be adjusted with external

and C
RC
. This mode is called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM).
Furthermore, a primary stroke is started only in a valley of the secondary ringing. This
valley switching principle minimizes capacitive switch-on losses.
8.1 Start-up and Underoltage lockout
Initially, the IC is self supplying from the rectified mains voltage. The IC starts switching as
soon as the voltage on pin V
CC
passes the V
CC(startup)
level. The supply is taken over by
the auxiliary winding of the transformer as soon as V
CC
is high enough and the supply
from the line is stopped for high efficiency operation.
When for some reason the auxiliary supply is not sufficient, the high-voltage supply also
supplies the IC. As soon as the voltage on pin V
CC
drops below the V
CC(stop)
level, the IC
stops switching and restarts from the rectified mains voltage.
8.2 Oscillator
The frequency of the oscillator is set by the external resistor and capacitor on pin RC. The
external capacitor is charged rapidly to the V
RC(max)
level and, starting from a new primary
stroke, it discharges to the V
RC(min)
level. Because the discharge is exponential, the
relative sensitivity of the duty factor to the regulation voltage at low duty factor is almost
equal to the sensitivity at high duty factors. This results in a more constant gain over the
duty factor range compared to PWM systems with a linear sawtooth oscillator. Stable
operation at low duty factors is easily realized. For high efficiency, the frequency is
reduced as soon as the duty factor drops below a certain value. This is accomplished by
increasing the oscillator charge time.
To ensure that the capacitor can be charged within the charge time, the value of the
oscillator capacitor should be limited to approximately 1 nF.
8.3 Duty factor control
The duty factor is controlled by the internal regulation voltage and the oscillator signal on
pin RC. The internal regulation voltage is equal to the external regulation voltage (−2.5 V)
multiplied by the gain of the error amplifier (typically 20 dB which is 10×).
8.4 Valley switching
A new cycle is started when the primary switch is switched on (see
Figure 4).
After a
certain time (determined by the oscillator voltage RC and the internal regulation level), the
switch is turned off and the secondary stroke starts. The internal regulation level is
determined by the voltage on pin REG.
After the secondary stroke, the drain voltage shows an oscillation with a frequency of
approximately:
