All the TEA1733 and TEA1738 variants are produced in NXP’s
ABCD silicon-on-insulator (SoI) technology. As a result, the
devices offer high-speed protection, are insensitive to `
latch-up, and are less dependent on temperature.
NXP’s GreenChip TEA1733 and TEA1738 devices combine
fixed-frequency operation at high output power with
frequency reduction at low output power. The result is high
efficiency over the total load range. Frequency jitter reduces
electromagnetic interference (EMI), and both ICs are equipped
with several protections to enhance robustness and reliability.
The standard versions of the TEA1733 and TEA1738 operate
at 67 kHz and cause safe restart for over-power time-outs. The
TEA1733L and TEA1738L versions trigger latched protection
for over-power time-outs. The TEA1733 is also available in
derivatives that operate at 90 kHz: the TEA1733A includes safe
restart, the TEA1733M offers latched protection.
Signal interference is also lower, and a wider VCC range is
possible.
For both devices, during startup, the supply voltage VCC is
charged by the current through a start-up resistor. Since the
current consumption of the IC is roughly 10 µA (typ) at startup,
there’s no need for high-voltage circuitry.
Low current consumption and frequency reduction means
that a standby power of less than 100 mW is possible. With
the right external resistors and X-cap, the measured standby
power can be as low as 48 mW at 115 Vac and 84 mW at `
230 Vac for a typical 65 W, 19.5 V power supply.
Both devices offer a number of protection features, including
input and output over/under-voltage protection, over-power
protection, and internal/external over-temperature protection.
The devices are adjustable for over-power time-out, and the
support high/low line compensation.
TEA1733(L) vs. TEA1738(L)
Designed as a drop-in replacement for the TEA1733(L), the
TEA1738(L) uses the same low-cost, industry-standard SO8
package and has the same pinning, but delivers even higher
efficiency.
TEA1733 block diagram
The TEA1738(L) uses a lower frequency at medium loads to
obtain higher efficiency at medium and low loads. It uses a
higher frequency during overpower conditions to obtain a
temporary increase in output power. The frequency reduction
slope (Vco mode) has been changed to prevent audible noise
and achieve the lowest possible standby power. The VINSENSE
high-protection function has been removed, to reduce reset
time after an overvoltage condition. The maximum duty cycle
has been increased, to support larger dips in mains voltage.
Over-voltage protection has been added to the VCC line, to
improve the accuracy of internal protection.
In the L version, which offers latched protection, there are
new techniques for preventing false OPP triggering and for
preventing latched protection reset due to premature VCC
UVLO. Note that replacing the TEA1733(L) with the TEA1738(L)
may impact EMI and protection behavior. An application check
is recommended before finalizing any replacements.
Adapter demo board
The NXP demo board UM10385 gives an example of a 65 W
notebook adapter. The TEA1733 helps the system achieve an
EnergySTAR average efficiency of roughly 90% at `
115 and 230 Vac. The board also features extremely low power
consumption at no load (115 V = <60 mW at no load, `
230 V = <100 mW at no load).
