TEA152x
SMPS ICs for low-power systems
Rev. 04 — 14 September 2010
Product data sheet
1. General description
The TEA152x family STARplug is a Switched Mode Power Supply (SMPS) controller IC
that operates directly from the rectified universal mains. It is implemented in the
high-voltage EZ-HV SOI process, combined with a low-voltage Bipolar Complementary
Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (BiCMOS) process. The device includes a high-voltage
power switch and a circuit for start-up directly from the rectified mains voltage.
A dedicated circuit for valley switching is built in, which makes a very efficient slim-line
electronic power-plug concept possible.
In its most basic version of application, the TEA152x family acts as a voltage source.
Here, no additional secondary electronics are required. A combined voltage and current
source can be realized with minimum costs for external components. Implementation of
the TEA152x family renders an efficient and low cost power supply system.
