7. Functional description
7.1 Introduction
The TEA1791T is the controller for synchronous rectification to be used in discontinuous
conduction mode and quasi-resonant flyback converters.
7.2 Start-up and UnderVoltage LockOut (UVLO)
The IC leaves the undervoltage lockout state and activates the synchronous rectifier
circuitry as soon as the voltage on the VCC pin is above 8.5 V (typical). When the voltage
drops below 8.0 V (typical), the undervoltage lockout state is reentered and the SR driver
output is actively kept low.
7.3 Synchronous rectification
After a negative voltage (−310 mV typical) is sensed on the SRSENSE pin, the driver
output voltage is driven HIGH and the external MOSFET is switched on. As soon as the
SRSENSE voltage rises to −55 mV the driver output voltage is regulated to maintain the
−55 mV on the SRSENSE pin. When the SRSENSE voltage is above −12 mV, the driver
output is pulled to ground.
After switch-on of the SR MOSFET, the input signal on the SRSENSE pin is blanked for
2 μs (typical). This eliminates false switch-off due to high frequency ringing at the start of
the secondary stroke.
Because the driver output voltage is reduced when the voltage on the SRSENSE pin is
−55 mV, the external power switch can be switched off quickly when the current through
the switch reaches zero. The zero current switch-off removes the need for a separate
Standby mode to maintain high efficiency during the no-load operation. The zero current is
detected by sensing a −12 mV level on the SRSENSE pin (see Figure 3).

Synchronous rectification signals
If the secondary stroke of the flyback converter is shorter than 2 μs (typical), the driver
output is disabled. This will guarantee stable operation for very low duty cycles. When the
secondary stroke increases above 2.2 μs (typical), the driver output is again enabled.
7.4 Supply management
All internal reference voltages are derived from a temperature compensated, on-chip
band gap circuit.
7.5 Driver
The driver circuit to the gate of the external power MOSFET has a typical source
capability of 250 mA and a typical sink capability of 2.7 A. This permits fast turn-on and
turn-off of the power MOSFET for efficient operation. The output voltage of the driver is
limited to 10 V (typical). This high output voltage will drive all MOSFET brands to the
minimum on-state resistance.
During start-up conditions (VCC < Vstartup) and undervoltage lockout the driver output
voltage is actively pulled low.

11. Application information
A switched mode power supply with the TEA1791T consists of a primary side
discontinuous conduction mode flyback controller, a transformer, and an output stage with
a feedback circuit. A MOSFET (Qsec) is used for low conduction losses in the output state.
This MOSFET is controlled by the TEA1791T.
The timing for the synchronous rectifier switch is derived from the voltage sensed on the
SRSENSE pin. The resistor in the SRSENSE connection is needed to protect the
TEA1791T from excessive voltages. The RSRSENSE resistor should typically be 1 kΩ.
Higher values might impair correct timing, lower values may not provide sufficient
protection.
