TEA1713 resonant power supply control IC with PFC
5.1.2 Supply monitoring and protection
The supply voltages are internally monitored to determine when to initiate certain actions,
such as starting, stopping or protection.
In several applications (e.g. when using an auxiliary winding construction) the SUPIC
voltage can also be used to monitor the HBC output voltage by protection input SNSOUT.
5.2 SUPIC - the low voltage IC supply
SUPIC is the main IC supply. Except for the SUPHV circuit, all internal circuits are either
directly or indirectly supplied from this pin.
5.2.1 SUPIC start-up
Connect SUPIC to an external buffer capacitor. This buffer capacitor can be charged in
several ways:
•
Internal high-voltage (HV) start-up source
•
Auxiliary supply, e.g. from a winding on the HBC transformer
•
External DC supply, e.g. from a standby supply
The IC starts operating when the SUPIC and SUPREG voltage have reached the start
level. The start level value of SUPIC depends on the condition of the SUPHV pin.
5.2.1.1
SUPHV
25 V
max
This is the case in a standalone application where the HV start-up source initially charges
SUPIC. The SUPIC start level is 22 V. The large difference between start level and stop
level (15 V) is used to allow discharge of the SUPIC capacitor until the auxiliary supply
can take over the IC supply.
5.2.1.2
SUPHV not connected/used
This is the case when the TEA1713 is supplied from an external DC supply. The SUPIC
start level is now 17 V. During start-up and operation the IC is continuously supplied by
the external DC supply. The SUPHV pin must not be connected for this kind of application.
5.2.2 SUPIC stop, UVP and SCP
The IC stops operating when the SUPIC voltage drops below 15 V which is the
UnderVoltage Protection (UVP) of SUPIC. While in the process of stopping, the HBC
continues until the low-side MOSFET is active, before stopping the PFC and HBC
operation.
SUPIC has a low level detection at 0.65 V to detect a short circuit to ground. This level
also controls the current source from the SUPHV pin.
