FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
•
The TPS92315 flyback power supply controller
provides isolated output current regulation without the
use of an optical coupler. The devices process
operating information from the primary power switch
and an auxiliary flyback winding to provide precise
output current control. Low start-up current,
dynamically controlled operating states and a tailored
modulation profile support very low stand-by power
without sacrificing start-up time or output transient
response.

The drive output interfaces to a FET power switch.
Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM) with valley
switching is used to reduce switching losses. A
combination of switching frequency and peak primary
current amplitude modulation is used to keep
conversion efficiency high across the full load and
input voltage range.
The controller has a maximum switching frequency of
130 kHz and always maintains control of the peak
primary current in the transformer. Protection features
help keep secondary and primary component stress
levels in check across the operation range.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

SNVS904A – NOVEMBER 2012 – REVISED FEBRUARY 2013
Detailed Pin Description
VCC (Device Bias Voltage Supply): The VCC pin is connected to a bypass capacitor to ground and a start-up
resistance to the input bulk capacitor (+) terminal. The VCC turn-on UVLO threshold is 21 V and turn-off UVLO
threshold is 8.1 V, with an available operating range up to 35 V.
GND (Ground): This is a single ground reference external to the device for the gate drive current and analog
signal reference. Place the VCC bypass capacitor close to GND and VCC with short traces to minimize noise on
the VSNS and ISNS signal pins.
VSNS (Voltage-Sense): The VSNS pin is connected to a resistor divider from the auxiliary winding to ground.
The output-voltage feedback information is sampled at the end of the transformer secondary current
demagnetization time to provide an accurate representation of the output voltage. Timing information to achieve
valley-switching and to control the duty cycle of the secondary transformer current is determined by the
waveform on the VSNS pin. Avoid placing a filter capacitor on this input which would interfere with accurate
sensing of this waveform.
The VSNS pin also senses the bulk capacitor voltage to provide for AC-input run and stop thresholds, and to
compensate the current-sense threshold across the AC-input range. This information is sensed during the
MOSFET on-time. For the AC-input run/stop function, the run threshold on VSNS is 220 µA and the stop
threshold is 80 µA. The values for the auxilliary voltage divider upper-resistor RAUX1 and lower-resistor RAUX2 can
be determined by the equations below.
VIN(run) × 2
R AUX1 =
NPA × IVSNS(run)
where
•
•
•
NPA is the transformer primary-to-auxiliary turns ratio,
VIN(run) is the AC RMS voltage to enable turn-on of the controller (run),
IVSNSL(run) is the run-threshold for the current pulled out of the VSNS pin during the MOSFET on-time. (see
ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS)
R AUX 2 =
(1)
R AUX1 × VVSNSR
NAS × (VOCV + VF ) − VVSNSR
where
•
•
•
•
•
VOCV is the converter regulated output voltage
VF is the output rectifier forward drop at near-zero current
NAS is the transformer auxiliary to secondary turns ratio
RAUX1 is the VSNS divider high-side resistance
VVSNSR is the CV regulating level at the VSNS input (see ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS)
(2)
GATE (Gate Drive): The GATE pin is connected to the MOSFET gate pin, usually through a series resistor. The
gate driver provides a gate-drive signal limited to 14V. The turn-on characteristic of the driver is a 25 mA current
source which limits the turn-on dv/dt of the MOSFET drain and reduces the leading-edge current spike, but still
provides gate-drive current to overcome the Miller plateau. The gate-drive turn-off current is determined by the
low-side driver RDS(on) and any external gate-drive resistance. The user can reduce the turn-off MOSFET drain
dv/dt by adding external gate resistance.

ISNS (Current Sense): The current-sense pin is connected through a series resistor (RLC) to the current-sense
resistor (RISNS). The series resistor RLC provides the function of feed-forward line compensation to eliminate
change in IPP (primary side peak current) due to change in di/dt and the propagation delay of the internal
comparator and MOSFET turn-off time. There is an internal leading-edge blanking time of 235 ns to eliminate
sensitivity to the MOSFET turn-on current spike. It should not be necessary to place a bypass capacitor on the
ISNS pin. The value of RISNS is determined by the target output current in constant-current (CC) regulation. The
values of RISNS and RLC can be determined by the equations below. The term ηXFMR is intended to account for
the energy stored in the transformer but not delivered to the secondary. This includes transformer resistance and
core loss, bias power, and primary-to-secondary leakage ratio.
Example: With a transformer core and winding loss of 5%, primary-to-secondary leakage inductance of 3.5%,
and bias power to output power ratio of 1.5%. The ηXFMR value is approximately: 1 - 0.05 - 0.035 - 0.015 = 0.9.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The TPS92315 is a flyback power supply controller which provides accurate voltage and constant current
regulation with primary-side feedback, eliminating the need for opto-coupler feedback circuits. The controller
operates in discontinuous conduction mode with valley-switching to minimize switching losses. The modulation
scheme is a combination of frequency and primary peak current modulation to provide high conversion efficiency
across the load range.
Another feature beneficial to achieve low quescient power without excessive start-up time is a wide operating
VCC range to allow a high-value VCC start-up resistance and low-value VCC capacitance. During low-power
operating ranges the device has power management features to reduce the device operating current at operating
frequencies below 44 kHz. The TPS92315 controller includes features in the modulator to reduce the EMI peak
energy of the fundamental switching frequency and harmonics. Accurate voltage and constant current regulation,
fast dynamic response, and fault protection are achieved with primary-side control. A complete LED driver
solution can be realized with a straightforward design process, low cost and low component count.
Primary-Side Voltage Regulation
Figure 10 illustrates a simplified flyback convertor with the main voltage regulation blocks of the device shown.
The power train operation is the same as any DCM flyback circuit but accurate output voltage and current
sensing is the key to primary-side control.

Figure 10. Simplified Flyback Convertor
(with the main voltage regulation blocks)
In primary-side control, the output voltage is sensed on the auxiliary winding during the transfer of transformer
energy to the secondary. As shown in Figure 11 it is clear there is a down slope representing a decreasing total
rectifier VF and resistance voltage drop (ISRS, where IS and RS are the current and equivalent resistance of the
secondary winding) as the secondary current decreases to zero. To achieve an accurate representation of the
secondary output voltage on the auxiliary winding, the discriminator reliably blocks the leakage inductance reset
and ringing, continuously samples the auxiliary voltage during the down slope after the ringing is diminished, and
captures the error signal at the time the secondary winding reaches zero current. The internal reference on
VSNS is 4.05 V; the resistor divider is selected as outlined in the VSNS pin description.

Figure 11. Auxiliary Winding Voltage
The TPS92315 VSNS signal sampler includes signal discrimination methods to ensure an accurate sample of the
output voltage from the auxiliary winding. There are however some details of the auxiliary winding signal to
ensure reliable operation, specifically the reset time of the leakage inductance and the duration of any
subsequent leakage inductance ring. Refer to Figure 12 below for a detailed illustration of waveform criteria to
ensure a reliable sample on the VSNS pin. The first detail to examine is the duration of the leakage inductance
reset pedestal, TLK_RESET in Figure 12. Since this can mimic the waveform of the secondary current decay,
followed by a sharp downslope, it is important to keep the leakage reset time less than 500 ns for IPRI minimum,
and less than 1.5 µs for IPRI maximum. The second detail is the amplitude of ringing on the VAUX waveform
following TLK_RESET. The peak-to-peak voltage at the VSNS pin should be less than approximately 100 mVp-p at
least 200 ns before the end of the demagnetization time, tDM. If there is a concern with excessive ringing, it
usually occurs during light or no-load conditions, when tDM is at the minimum. The tolerable ripple on VSNS is
scaled up to the auxiliary winding voltage by RAUX1 and RAUX2, and is equal to 100 mV x (RAUX1 + RAUX2) / RAUX2.

During voltage regulation, the controller operates in frequency modulation mode and amplitude modulation mode
as illustrated in Figure 13 below. The internal operating frequency limits of the device are 130 kHz maximum and
1 kHz minimum. The transformer primary inductance and primary peak current chosen sets the maximum
operating frequency of the converter. The output preload resistor and efficiency at low power determines the
converter minimum operating frequency. There is no stability compensation required for the TPS92315 controller.

Primary-Side Current Regulation
Timing information at the VSNS pin and current information at the ISNS pin allow accurate regulation of the
secondary average current. The control law dictates that as power is increased in CV regulation and approaching
CC regulation the primary-peak current is at IPP(max). Referring to Figure 14 below, the primary-peak current,
turns ratio, secondary demagnetization time (tDM), and switching period (TSW) determine the secondary average
output current. Ignoring leakage inductance effects, the average output current is given by Equation 5. When the
average output current reaches the regulation reference in the current control block, the controller operates in
frequency modulation mode to control the output current at any output voltage at or below the voltage regulation
target as long as the auxiliary winding can keep VCC above the UVLO turn-off threshold.

Valley-Switching
The TPS92315 utilizes valley-switching to reduce switching losses in the MOSFET, to reduce induced-EMI, and
to minimize the turn-on current spike at the sense resistor. The controller operates in valley-switching in all load
conditions unless the VDS ringing has diminished.
Referring to Figure 16 below, the TPS92315 operates in a valley-skipping mode in most load conditions to
maintain an accurate voltage or current regulation point and still switch on the lowest available VDS voltage.

Start-Up Operation
Upon application of input voltage to the converter, the start-up resistor connected to VCC from the bulk capacitor
voltage (VBULK) charges the VCC capacitor. During charging of the VCC capacitor the device bias supply current
is less than 1.5 µA. When VCC reaches the 21V UVLO turn-on threshold, the controller is enabled and the
converter starts switching. The initial three cycles are limited to IPP(min). This allows sensing any initial input or
output faults with minimal power delivery. After the initial three cycles at minimum IPP(min), the controller responds
to the condition dictated by the control law. The converter remains in discontinuous mode during charging of the
output capacitor(s), maintaining a constant output current until the output voltage is in regulation.
Fault Protection
There is comprehensive fault protection incorporated into the TPS92315. Protection functions include:
• Output Over Voltage
• Input Under Voltage
• Internal Over Temperature

Primary Over-current fault
ISNS pin fault
VSNS pin fault
An UVLO reset and restart sequence applies for all fault protection events.
The output over-voltage function is determined by the voltage feedback on the VSNS pin. If the voltage sample
on VSNS exceeds 115% of the nominal VOUT, the device stops switching and keeps the internal circuitry enabled
to discharge the VCC capacitor to the UVLO turn-off threshold. After that, the device returns to the start state and
a start-up sequence ensues.
The TPS92315 always operates with cycle-by-cycle primary peak current control. The normal operating range of
the ISNS pin is 0.75V to 0.25V. There is additional protection if the ISNS pin reaches 1.5V. This results in a
UVLO reset and restart sequence. There is no leading-edge blanking on the 1.5V threshold on ISNS.
The line input run and stop thresholds are determined by current information at the VSNS pin during the
MOSFET on-time. While the VSNS pin is clamped close to GND during the MOSFET on-time, the current
through RAUX1 is monitored to determine a sample of the bulk capacitor voltage. A wide separation of run and
stop thresholds allows clean start-up and shut-down of the power supply with the line voltage. The run current
threshold is 220 µA and the stop current threshold is 80 µA.
The internal over-temperature protection threshold is 165°C. If the junction temperature reaches this threshold
the device initiates a UVLO reset cycle. If the temperature is still high at the end of the UVLO cycle, the
protection cycle repeats.
Protection is included in the event of component failures on the VSNS pin. If complete loss of feedback
information on the VSNS pin occurs, the controller stops switching and restarts.

Transformer Turns Ratio, Inductance, Primary-Peak Current
The maximum primary-to-secondary turns ratio can be determined by the target maximum switching frequency at
full load, the minimum input capacitor bulk voltage, and the estimated DCM quasi-resonant time.
Initially determine the maximum available total duty cycle of the on time and secondary conduction time based on
target switching frequency and DCM resonant time. For DCM resonant time, assume 500 kHz if you do not have
an estimate from previous designs. For the transition mode operation limit, the period required from the end of
secondary current conduction to the first valley of the VDS voltage is ½ of the DCM resonant period, or 1 µs
assuming 500 kHz resonant frequency. DMAX can be determined using the equation below.
T
DMAX = 1 − R × fMAX − DMAGCC

(8)
Once DMAX is known, the maximum turns ratio of the primary to secondary can be determined with the equation
below. DMAGCC is defined as the secondary diode conduction duty cycle during constant-current, CC, operation. It
is set internally by the TPS92315 at 0.425. The total voltage on the secondary winding needs to be determined;
which is the sum of VOCV and the secondary rectifier VF. For the E14 or GU-10 applications with VOUT of around
10V at an IOCC of 350 mA, a turns ratio range of 7 to 8 is typically used.
DMAX × VBULK(min)
NPS(max) =
DMAGCC × (VOCV + VF )
(9)
Once an optimum turns ratio is determined from a detailed transformer design, use this ratio for the following
parameters.
The TPS92315 controller constant-current regulation is achieved by maintaining a maximum DMAG (the
secondary diode conduction duty cycle) of 0.425 at the maximum primary current setting. The transformer turns
ratio and constant-current regulating voltage determine the current sense resistor for a target constant current.

Since not all of the energy stored in the transformer is transferred to the secondary, a transformer efficiency term
is included. This efficiency number includes the core and winding losses, leakage inductance ratio, and bias
power ratio to rated output power. For a typical E14 or GU-10 application, bias power of 1.5% is a good estimate.
An overall transformer efficiency of 0.9 is a good estimate to include 3.5% leakage inductance, 5% core and
winding loss, and 1.5% bias power.

The secondary winding to auxiliary winding transformer turns ratio (NAS) is determined by the lowest target
operating output voltage in constant-current regulation and the VVCCOFF of the TPS92315. There is additional
energy supplied to VCC from the transformer leakage inductance energy which allows a lower turns ratio to be
used in many designs.

Transformer Parameter Verification
The transformer turns ratio selected affects the MOSFET VDS and secondary rectifier reverse voltage so these
should be reviewed. The TPS92315 controller requires a minimum on time of the MOSFET (TON) and minimum
DMAG time (TDMAG) of the secondary rectifier in the high line, minimum load condition. The selection of FMAX, LP
and RISNS affects the minimum TON and TDMAG.
The secondary rectifier and MOSFET voltage stress can be determined by the equations below.

The output capacitance value is typically determined by the current ripple requirement of the LED current. For

equation below assumes that the switching frequency can be at the TPS92315 minimum of fSW(min).

the voltage to the TPS92315. The total output current available to the load and to charge the output capacitors is
the constant-current regulation target. The equation below assumes the output current of the flyback is available
