TEA1713 resonant power supply control IC with PFC
8.7 HBC overcurrent protection and regulation
Measurement of the primary resonant current indicates the level of output power that is
generated by the converter. During a fault or output overload condition, this current often
increases considerable. By monitoring this current and then taking appropriate action, the
converter can remain operational during a temporary fault or overload condition.
The resonant controller of the TEA1713 has two functions when in an overcurrent
condition:
•
OverCurrent Regulation (OCR) slowly increases the frequency and the protection
timer is started
•
OverCurrent Protection (OCP) steps to maximum frequency
A boost voltage compensation function is included to reduce the variation in the preset
protection level of the resonant current.
8.7.1 HBC overcurrent regulation
The lowest comparator levels of
0.5 V at the SNSCURHBC pin belong to the
OverCurrent Regulation (OCR) level. There is a comparator for both the positive and
negative polarity. If either level is exceeded, the frequency is slowly increased. This is
accomplished by discharging the soft-start capacitor. Every time the OCR level is
exceeded, this state is latched until the next stroke and the soft-start discharge current is
