1. Product profile
1.1 General description
The TEA1721 is a small and low cost module Switched Mode Power Supply (SMPS)
controller IC for low power applications (up to 5 W) and operates directly from the rectified
universal mains input. The device includes a high voltage power switch (700 V) and 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 start-up directly from the rectified 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 TEA1721, 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 audible
noise and provides an energy saver state which reduces the power consumption in
no-load condition. The Burst mode frequency of 905 Hz enables no-load power
consumption below < 20 mW at high mains input.
