Product details
Overview
TEA1791T/N1,118 from NXP Semiconductors is a synchronous rectifier (SR) controller IC for DCM and quasi-resonant flyback converters, fabricated in SOI process. It delivers accurate zero-current switch-off via −310 mV activation and −12 mV deactivation thresholds on SRSENSE, supports 8.5–38 V supply range, and drives external MOSFETs with 10 V output voltage to minimize RDS(on).
For engineers reviewing the TEA1791T/N1,118 datasheet, TEA1791T/N1,118 pinout, TEA1791T/N1,118 application, or TEA1791T/N1,118 equivalent, this page provides verified functional parameters, validated SO8 pin mapping, confirmed green-mode efficiency behavior across no-load to full-load, and real-world adapter and low-duty-cycle flyback design considerations.
Technical Context
The TEA1791T/N1,118 implements adaptive synchronous rectification using a single SRSENSE input to detect secondary current zero-crossing via three precision voltage thresholds: −310 mV (activation), −55 mV (regulation), and −12 mV (deactivation). Its internal driver delivers 250 mA source / 2.7 A sink capability with 10 V clamped output, enabling fast MOSFET switching.
Start-up occurs at VCC ≥ 8.5 V (typical) with 0.5 V hysteresis; UVLO re-engages below 8.0 V. A 2 μs blanking window after activation suppresses ringing-induced false turn-off, and driver disable below 2.2 μs secondary stroke ensures stable operation at very low duty cycles.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 8.5 V to 38 V - enables direct bias from auxiliary winding without external LDO in wide-input adapters |
| SRSENSE Thresholds | −310 mV (activate), −55 mV (regulate), −12 mV (deactivate) - enables precise zero-current detection and dynamic gate drive regulation |
| Driver Output Voltage | 10 V (typical) - ensures full enhancement of low-RDS(on) MOSFETs regardless of brand or process variation |
| Driver Sink/Source | 2.7 A sink / 250 mA source - supports fast turn-off critical for high-frequency QR flyback efficiency |
| Blanking Time | 2.0 μs (typical) - eliminates false triggering from transformer leakage ringing during secondary stroke onset |
| Min Secondary Stroke | 2.2 μs (typical enable threshold) - guarantees stable SR operation down to ultra-low duty cycles in high-Vin applications |
| Operating Current | 0.95 mA (no load, normal operation) - contributes to sub-50 mW no-load power in GreenChip-compliant designs |
Pinout & Package
TEA1791T/N1,118 is housed in an SO8 package (SOT96-1), plastic small outline, 8-lead, 3.9 mm body width, with thermal resistance Rth(j-a) = 150 K/W in free air.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - SRSENSE | Synchronous timing input | Detects secondary-side current polarity and magnitude via resistor-coupled transformer winding; triggers zero-current switch-off at −12 mV |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return for all internal circuits and driver sink path; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling |
| 3, 5, 6, 7 - n.c. | No connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no routing or soldering permitted |
| 4 - DRIVER | SR MOSFET gate driver output | Delivers regulated 10 V drive with 2.7 A sink capability; directly interfaces to N-channel MOSFET gate without external level shifter |
| 8 - VCC | Supply voltage input | Accepts 8.5–38 V; powers internal bandgap references, logic, and driver; includes UVLO with 0.5 V hysteresis |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous rectifier controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor NCP4303DR2G | Fixed 5 V driver output; uses single −50 mV threshold; no blanking window; requires external RC filter on sense pin | Limited to medium-duty-cycle DCM flyback; less robust against ringing; higher no-load current (1.2 mA) | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency at light load and board space allows external filtering components |
| Infineon IRS11682PBF | Higher VCC max (40 V); integrated adaptive dead-time control; supports both high-side and low-side configurations | Better suited for high-power (>40 W) QR flyback with complex primary-side coordination requirements | Prefer for designs needing dual configuration flexibility or >35 W output where IRS11682PBF's 1.1 A driver sink adds margin |
Compared with NCP4303DR2G, TEA1791T/N1,118 offers superior light-load efficiency via zero-current detection and built-in blanking, while IRS11682PBF provides broader configuration support but increases system complexity and BOM count.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the TEA1791T/N1,118 in a flyback power supply?
The TEA1791T/N1,118 serves as a synchronous rectifier controller on the secondary side of discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) and quasi-resonant (QR) flyback converters. It replaces conventional Schottky diodes by precisely timing the gate drive of an external N-channel MOSFET using voltage thresholds on the SRSENSE pin - specifically −310 mV for activation, −55 mV for regulation, and −12 mV for zero-current deactivation - thereby reducing conduction losses and improving overall efficiency. This functionality is integral to the TEA1791T/N1,118's role in modern GreenChip power designs.
Does the TEA1791T/N1,118 support both high-side and low-side synchronous rectification configurations?
Yes, the TEA1791T/N1,118 supports both high-side and low-side SR configurations, as confirmed by Figures 4 and 5 in the official NXP datasheet - which explicitly show application diagrams for "high side rectification" and "low side rectification". The device operates identically in both topologies because its SRSENSE input senses voltage polarity across a sense resistor placed in series with the secondary winding, independent of MOSFET placement. This dual-configurability is a defined feature of the TEA1791T/N1,118 and enables flexible PCB layout in constrained adapter designs.
What is the purpose of the 2 μs blanking time in the TEA1791T/N1,118?
The 2 μs blanking time in the TEA1791T/N1,118 is a built-in timing window activated immediately after driver turn-on to ignore false signals on the SRSENSE pin caused by high-frequency transformer ringing at the start of the secondary stroke. This prevents premature or erratic turn-off of the SR MOSFET, ensuring reliable zero-current switching even in compact, high-density adapters where parasitic ringing is pronounced. The blanking interval is fixed at 2.0 μs (typical) and is an inherent part of the TEA1791T/N1,118's internal control logic - no external components or configuration are required to enable it.
Can the TEA1791T/N1,118 operate reliably at very low duty cycles, such as in high-input-voltage applications?
Yes, the TEA1791T/N1,118 includes a dedicated low-duty-cycle safeguard: if the secondary stroke duration falls below 2.2 μs (typical), the DRIVER output is automatically disabled to prevent unstable or undefined switching behavior. When the stroke exceeds 2.2 μs, the driver resumes normal operation. This feature ensures robust performance in high-Vin applications like 370 VDC-input telecom supplies, where duty cycle can shrink below 5%. This behavior is specified in the TEA1791T/N1,118's functional description and confirmed in Table 5 of the datasheet.
What is the maximum allowable voltage on the SRSENSE pin of the TEA1791T/N1,118?
The absolute maximum voltage rating for the SRSENSE pin of the TEA1791T/N1,118 is 120 V, as stated in Table 3 ("Limiting values") of the NXP datasheet. This high withstand voltage - enabled by the Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) fabrication process - allows direct connection to transformer secondary windings without additional clamping or attenuation networks in most DCM and QR flyback implementations. Engineers must ensure that transient spikes do not exceed this limit during surge or startup events, but steady-state operation remains safely within specification for typical adapter designs using the TEA1791T/N1,118.
