TEA1713 resonant power supply control IC with PFC
3. Pin overview with functional description
Table 2. Pinning overview
Pin Name Functional description
1 COMPPFC Frequency compensation for the PFC control-loop.
Externally connected filter with typical values: 150 nF (33 k+ 470 nF)
2 SNSMAINS Sense input for mains voltage.
Externally connected to resistive divided mains voltage.
This pin has four functions:
•Mains enable level: Vstart(SNSMAINS) =1.15V
•Mains stop level (brownout): Vstop(SNSMAINS) =0.9V
•Mains-voltage compensation for the PFC control-loop gain bandwidth
•Fast latch reset: Vrst(SNSMAINS) =0.75V
The mains enable and mains stop level enable and disable the PFC. Enabling and disabling of
the resonant controller is based on the voltage on SNSBOOST.
The voltage on the SNSMAINS pin must be an averaged DC value, representing the AC line
voltage. Do not use the pin for sensing the phase of the mains voltage.
Open pin detection is included by an internal current source (33 nA).
3 SNSAUXPFC Sense input from an auxiliary winding of the PFC coil for demagnetization timing and valley
detection to control the PFC switching. It is 100 mV level with a time-out of 50 s.
Connect the auxiliary winding via an impedance to the pin (recommended is a 5.1 kseries
resistor) to prevent damage of the input during surges (e.g. lightning).
Open pin detection is included by an internal current source (33 nA).
4 SNSCURPFC Current sense input for PFC.
This input is used to limit the maximum peak-current in the PFC core. The PFCSENSE is a
cycle-by-cycle protection. The PFC MOSFET is switched off when the level reaches 0.5 V.
The internal logic controls a 60 A internal current source connected to the pin. This current
source is used to implement a soft-start and soft-stop function for the PFC to prevent audible
noise in Burst mode.
The pin is also used to enable the PFC. The PFC only starts when the internal current source
(60 A) is able to charge the soft-start capacitor to a voltage of 0.5 V. A minimum soft-start
resistor of 12 kis required to guarantee enabling of the PFC.
The value of the capacitor on SNSCURPFC provides the soft-start and soft-stop timing in
combination with the parallel resistor value.
5 SNSOUT Input for indirectly sensing the output voltage of the resonant converter. It is normally connected
to an auxiliary winding of HBC and is also an input for the Burst mode of HBC or PFC + HBC.
This pin has four functions related to internal comparators:
•Overvoltage protection: SNSOUT > 3.5 V, latched
•Undervoltage protection: SNSOUT < 2.3 V, protection timer
•Hold HBC: SNSOUT < 1.0 V, stop switching HBC (Burst mode)
•Hold HBC + PFC: SNSOUT < 0.4 V, stop switching HBC and PFC (Burst mode)
The pin also contains an internal current source of 100 A that, initially, generates a voltage up
to 1.5 V across an external impedance (> 20 krecommended) to avoid unintended Burst
mode operation.
