Product details
Overview
TDA168462HKLA1 from Infineon Technologies is a bipolar PWM quasi-resonant (QR) controller IC for flyback switch-mode power supplies with integrated PFC support, 14-pin DIP package, 5 V reference output (pin 9), 20 kHz adjustable standby frequency, and mains undervoltage protection - used in TV, SAT receiver, and PC monitor auxiliary power stages.
For engineers reviewing the TDA168462HKLA1 datasheet, TDA168462HKLA1 pinout, TDA168462HKLA1 application, or TDA168462HKLA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its low-startup-current (<100 µA), VCC overvoltage lockout (17.1 V), soft-start capacitor control (pin 4), primary voltage check input (pin 11), and opto-coupler feedback compatibility (pin 5).
Technical Context
The TDA168462HKLA1 implements quasi-resonant switching with zero-voltage turn-on to minimize MOSFET stress and EMI, using regulation via RZI (pin 3) zero-crossing detection and internal error amplifier feedback. It supports both free-running and fixed-frequency operation via SYN (pin 7) with external RC timing or sync pulses.
Its protection architecture includes dual fault comparators (pins 6 and 10), primary voltage check (pin 11) with fold-back correction, VCC over/undervoltage lockout (pin 14), and mains undervoltage shutdown - all implemented in bipolar process without external latches or timers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | VCC = 10.5–18.5 V; enables operation across wide auxiliary winding voltage swings |
| Startup Current | <100 µA; allows direct startup from high-impedance bias networks without dedicated start resistor |
| Reference Output | 5 V ±2% at pin 9; powers external circuitry and enables FC2 via series resistor |
| Standby Frequency | Adjustable down to 20 kHz via OTC pin (1); reduces audible noise and core loss in light-load conditions |
| VCC Overvoltage Threshold | 17.1 V max; triggers immediate shutdown to protect internal circuitry during transient surges |
| Primary Voltage Check Threshold | 1.0 V min at pin 11; disables SMPS if bulk capacitor voltage drops below safe operating level |
| Opto Input Threshold | Active low; pin 5 sinks current when opto output conducts, enabling closed-loop regulation |
Pinout & Package
Package: P-DIP-14-3 (14-pin plastic dual in-line, 0.3 inch width, standard through-hole mounting).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| 9 REF | 5 V reference output | Stable 5 V supply for external bias and FC2 enable resistor; ±2% accuracy |
| 10 FC1 | Fault comparator 1 input | Voltage >1 V forces immediate shutdown; used for overcurrent or thermal fault signaling |
| 11 PVC | Primary voltage check input | Monitors bulk capacitor via divider; <1 V triggers undervoltage lockout and fold-back correction |
| 12 GND | Analog and power ground | Common return for all analog circuits and driver stage; requires low-impedance PCB layout |
| 13 OUT | Gate drive output | Push-pull driver capable of sinking/source up to 200 mA; directly drives MOSFET gate with fast edges |
| 14 VCC | Supply voltage input | Starts from 10.5 V; powered initially by PCS network, then by auxiliary winding via external diode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PWM quasi-resonant controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ICE2A280ZXKLA1 | Fixed 65 kHz frequency; no standby frequency scaling; higher startup current (250 µA) | Lacks adaptive light-load frequency reduction; suited for constant-frequency designs only | Select when fixed-frequency operation and higher power density outweigh standby efficiency needs |
| KA5Q1265RTU | Integrated MOSFET; no external gate drive; no PFC support; single fault comparator | Self-contained solution for low-cost AC/DC adapters; not suitable for PFC-enabled or high-reliability systems | Choose for cost-sensitive, low-power (<15 W) applications where integration reduces BOM count |
Compared with ICE2A280ZXKLA1 and KA5Q1265RTU, TDA168462HKLA1 uniquely delivers quasi-resonant operation with load-adaptive frequency scaling, dual fault comparators, and PFC compatibility - making it optimal for consumer electronics requiring sub-0.5 W standby and EMI-constrained layouts.

FAQ
What is the function of Pin 1 (OTC) in TDA168462HKLA1?
Pin 1 (OTC) sets the ringing suppression time and standby frequency via an external RC network. Its time constant determines the minimum operating frequency (e.g., 20 kHz) and controls the delay between MOSFET turn-off and next turn-on to avoid hard-switching during transformer ring-down. This directly impacts EMI performance and light-load efficiency.
How does the primary voltage check (PVC) on Pin 11 operate?
Pin 11 monitors the rectified mains voltage via a resistive divider. When the divided voltage falls below 1.0 V, the IC disables switching to prevent transformer saturation and output collapse during brownouts. In free-running mode, it also adjusts the fold-back point to maintain regulation stability as input voltage decreases.
Can TDA168462HKLA1 be used with opto-coupler feedback?
Yes - pin 5 (OCI) is designed for opto-coupler feedback. The phototransistor collector connects to pin 5, emitter to ground. When conducting, it pulls pin 5 low to reduce duty cycle. The RZI input (pin 3) must be biased below 5 V in this configuration to avoid interference with regulation.
What is the purpose of the 5 V reference on Pin 9?
Pin 9 provides a precision 5 V ±2% reference for biasing external circuitry and enabling fault comparator 2 (pin 6). A resistor from pin 9 to pin 6 sets the FC2 threshold; typical values yield 1.2 V trip point. This eliminates need for external voltage references in protection circuits.
