GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The TEA5170 takes place in the secondary part of

an isolated off-line SMPS. During normal mode

operation, it sends pulses to the slave circuit lo-

cated in the primary side (TEA2164, TEA2260/61)

through a pulse transformer to achieve a very

precisely regulated voltage by duty cycle control.

The main blocs of the circuit are :

- an error voltage amplifier

- an RC oscillator

- an output stage

- a voltage reference bloc

- a pulse width modulator

- two logic blocs

- a soft start and Duty cycle limiting bloc

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The TEA5170 sends pulses continuously to the

slave circuit in order to insure a proper behaviour

of the primary side.

- According to this, the output duty cycle is varying

then even in case of open load, pulses are still

sent to the slave circuit.

ASYNCHRONIZED MODE (Figure 2)

The regulated voltage image is compared to 2V

vol-tage reference. The error voltage amplifier out-

put and the RC oscillator voltage ramp are applied

to the internal Pulse Width Modulator Inputs.

The PWM logic Output is connected to a logic bloc

which behaves like a RS latch, sets by the PWM

output and resets when Ct downloading occurs.

Finally, the push-pull output bloc delivers square

wave signal whom output leading edge occurs

during Ct uploading time, and output trailing edge

at Ct downloading time end. The duty cycle is

limited to 75% of oscillator period as maximum

value and to Ct downloading time/oscillator period

as minimum value (Figure 2).

SYNCHRONIZED MODE (see Figure 3)

The TEA5170 will enter the Synchronized Mode

when it receives one pulse through Rt during Ct

discharge.

At that time Ct charging current will be multiplied

by 0.75 and period will increase up to To x 1.26.

A pulse occuring during the synchro window, com-

mands the Ct downloading. If none, the TEA5170

will return to normal mode at the end of the period.
