The TEA1720B3T is a small and low cost Switched Mode Power Supply (SMPS)controller IC for low power applications (up to 12.5 W) and operates directly from the rectified universal mains input. The device includes an emitter switch for driving an external low-cost bipolar power transistor. It has been optimized for flyback converter topologies to provide high-efficiency over the entire load range with ultra-low power consumption in the no-load condition. It provides a circuit for fast start-up directly from therectified mains voltage without any external bleeder circuits.
The converter operates as a regulated voltage source from no-load up to the maximum output current and operates as current source that delivers the maximum current over a broad output voltage range. Using the TEA1720B3T a low power converter can be built at minimum cost and with the minimum number of external components.
The controller regulates the output voltage with primary-side sensing which eliminates the need for an additional secondary feedback circuitry and simplifies the design. At higher power levels, a frequency and current control mode is used. It operates with Burst mode control at low power levels and no-load condition. The burst mode minimizes audiblenoise and provides an energy save state which reduces the power consumption in no-load condition. The Burst mode frequency of 400 Hz enables no-load powerconsumption < 20 mW at high mains input.
A fast transient response is obtained when the TEA1720B3T is used in combination with the TEA1705 transient controller at the secondary side. The fast transient response ensures excellent control of the output voltage at load steps, at minimum no load power and at small output capacitors.
