Product details
Overview
TDA16846GGEGHUMA1 from Infineon Technologies is a bipolar PWM quasi-resonant (QR) controller IC for flyback switch-mode power supplies with integrated Power Factor Correction (PFC) support, 14-pin DSO package, 5 V reference output (pin 9), and adjustable standby frequency down to 20 kHz. It enables low-power standby operation in consumer electronics SMPS designs with soft-start, mains undervoltage protection, and dual fault comparators.
For engineers reviewing the TDA16846GGEGHUMA1 datasheet, TDA16846GGEGHUMA1 pinout, TDA16846GGEGHUMA1 application, or TDA16846GGEGHUMA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its quasi-resonant valley-switching capability, primary current simulation (PCS) input for power limiting, regulation/zero-crossing input (RZI) with 5 V threshold, VCC overvoltage lockout at 17.1 V, and compatibility with optocoupler feedback via OCI pin.
Technical Context
The TDA16846GGEGHUMA1 implements quasi-resonant valley-switching control to minimize switching losses by turning on the MOSFET at minimum drain-source voltage. Its RZI input monitors transformer control winding zero crossings and regulates via internal error amplifier or external optocoupler feedback.
It features dual fault comparators (FC1/FC2), synchronized/fixed-frequency mode via SYN pin, primary voltage check (PVC) with fold-back correction, and soft-start controlled by external capacitor on SRC pin. Startup current is <100 µA, and VCC supply is self-sustained via auxiliary winding after initial charge through internal diode D1.
Key Specifications

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ICE2QS03G | Integrated 650 V CoolMOS driver; no PCS input; fixed 65 kHz base frequency; no RZI zero-cross input | Requires external current sensing; lacks adaptive standby frequency scaling; suited for cost-sensitive fixed-frequency designs | Select when primary-side sensing is preferred and standby power is not critical |

FAQ
What is the function of Pin 8 on TDA16846GGEGHUMA1?
Pin 8 is Not Connected (N.C.) on TDA16846GGEGHUMA1. It is an unconnected die pad with no internal bond wire. This distinguishes it from the TDA16847-2 variant, where Pin 8 serves as the Power Measurement Output (PMO) for temporary high-power burst mode. PCB layout must leave Pin 8 floating with no trace or solder mask opening.
How does the Primary Current Simulation (PCS) circuit work on Pin 2?
The PCS circuit on Pin 2 uses an external capacitor and resistor network between Pin 2 and the positive terminal of the primary electrolytic capacitor to emulate primary current flow. This allows the IC to estimate output power and implement fold-back current limiting without a dedicated current-sense resistor or transformer auxiliary winding, reducing component count and losses.
Can TDA16846GGEGHUMA1 operate in fixed-frequency mode without external synchronization?
Yes. Fixed-frequency operation is achieved by connecting an RC network between Pin 7 (SYN) and ground. The resistor and capacitor values determine the oscillator frequency. Unlike synchronized mode, no external clock signal is required. Startup in fixed-frequency mode is stabilized by initial free-running operation until RZI pulses exceed 2.5 V, preventing transformer saturation.
What is the purpose of the spike blanking feature on Pins 11 and 14?
Spike blanking on Pins 11 (PVC) and 14 (VCC) suppresses short-duration voltage transients (<100 ns) that could falsely trigger undervoltage or overvoltage lockout. This is implemented via internal pulse-width filtering and ensures reliable operation during line surges, switching noise, or transformer leakage spikes without compromising protection responsiveness.
