Product details
Overview
TPS92001D from Texas Instruments is a phase-cut TRIAC-dimmable PWM controller for LED lighting, implementing fixed-frequency current-mode control in isolated and non-isolated flyback topologies. It features 0.4-A source / 0.8-A sink gate drive, 100-kHz switching frequency (programmable via RTC/RTD/CCT), 5-V reference output, and undervoltage lockout with 10-V turn-on threshold - enabling residential A19/E26/GU10 lamp drivers with high PF and low EMI.
For engineers reviewing the TPS92001D datasheet, TPS92001D pinout, TPS92001D application, or TPS92001D equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world dimming interface implementation details, and confirmed alternative options for TRIAC-dimmable LED driver design.
Technical Context
The TPS92001D integrates a current-mode PWM latch, oscillator with programmable rise/fall timing (via RTC/RTD pins), soft-start circuitry (6-µA internal current source charging SS pin), and totem-pole gate driver optimized for N-channel MOSFETs. Its CS pin combines primary current sense, optocoupler voltage feedback, and slope compensation - referenced to a precise 1-V comparator threshold.
Oscillator operation relies on external timing capacitor CCT and resistors RRTC (10 kΩ min) and RRTD (4.32 kΩ min) to set frequency (90–110 kHz typical) and maximum duty cycle (70%). UVLO hysteresis is 1.65 V, and startup current is ≤110 µA - ensuring reliable operation across –40°C to +105°C junction temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching frequency | 90–110 kHz - sets transformer size, EMI profile, and audible noise margin in LED drivers |
| Max duty cycle | 70% - limits peak primary current and ensures safe operation under wide input/dimming ranges |
| UVLO turn-on threshold | 10 V ±0.6 V - prevents erratic startup during brownout or slow AC line ramp-up |
| Gate drive capability | 0.4-A source / 0.8-A sink - directly drives medium-power MOSFET gates without external buffers |
| Reference output | 5.0 V ±2.5% - powers microcontrollers, optocouplers, or auxiliary circuits with <2 mV line/load regulation |
| Startup current | ≤110 µA - enables direct AC rectified supply startup without auxiliary winding or bias circuit |
| Operating temp range | –40°C to +105°C - supports enclosed residential lamp environments and thermal cycling reliability |
Pinout & Package
TPS92001D is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package, 3.91 mm × 4.90 mm × 1.75 mm, RoHS-compliant with NIPDAU lead finish and JEDEC MS-012 AA outline. Pin 1 index is marked by a beveled corner; device orientation follows standard SOIC conventions with pin 1 at top-left when notch faces up.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (Pin 7) | Power input | Shunt-regulated at 17.5 V; bypassed with 1-µF ceramic capacitor - supplies internal logic and gate driver |
| GD (Pin 6) | Gate driver output | Totem-pole output driving N-MOSFET gate; requires ≥3.9 Ω series resistor to limit dV/dt and ringing |
| GND (Pin 5) | Ground reference | Common return for power, signal, and reference - must be low-inductance star point for stability |
| CS (Pin 1) | Current sense input | Summing node for primary current, optocoupler feedback, and slope compensation; includes internal 250-Ω discharge FET |
| SS (Pin 2) | Soft-start control | Charged by 6-µA internal current; 0.4–2.0 V ramp controls duty-cycle ramp-up and enables shutdown below 0.5 V |
| RTC (Pin 3) | Oscillator timing input | Controls rising edge of timing capacitor CCT; connects to RRTC - sets oscillator frequency rise time |
| RTD (Pin 4) | Oscillator timing input | Controls falling edge of CCT; connects to RRTD - sets oscillator frequency fall time and max duty cycle |
| REF (Pin 8) | 5-V reference output | Buffered, low-noise 5-V rail; requires 0.47-µF ceramic bypass to GND - powers external ICs or optocoupler LEDs |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED lighting PWM controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS92002D | Higher UVLO turn-on threshold (15 V vs. 10 V); identical pinout, timing, and gate drive specs | Better suited for DC-input or high-line AC systems where 10-V startup is marginal | Select TPS92002D if operating from ≥24-VDC bus or high-voltage AC with slow ramp-up |
| NCP1014DR2G | Fixed-frequency current-mode controller without TRIAC dimming interface; no REF pin or SS control | Lacks native phase-cut dimming support - requires external dimming circuitry or digital control | Choose only when dimming is handled externally or not required; lower BOM cost but higher system complexity |
Compared with TPS92001D, TPS92002D offers higher startup voltage headroom while maintaining full functional and pin compatibility, whereas NCP1014DR2G provides basic PWM control at lower cost but omits dimming integration and reference output - requiring added components for equivalent functionality.

FAQ
What is the UVLO threshold and hysteresis of the TPS92001D?
The TPS92001D has a UVLO turn-on threshold of 10 V ±0.6 V and hysteresis of 1.65 V. This means the device remains latched off until VDD rises above 10 V, then stays active until VDD falls below 8.35 V. The hysteresis prevents oscillation near the threshold and ensures clean startup under varying AC line conditions. These values are specified over temperature and confirmed in the SLUSA24A datasheet electrical characteristics table.
Can the TPS92001D drive a MOSFET directly without a gate driver IC?
Yes, the TPS92001D can drive medium-power N-channel MOSFETs directly using its integrated 0.4-A source / 0.8-A sink totem-pole gate driver. A minimum 3.9-Ω series resistor is recommended to limit peak gate current and suppress ringing. The driver operates with low saturation voltages (≤1.5 V at rated current), making it suitable for MOSFETs with Qg ≤30 nC in typical 10–25 W LED driver designs.
How is the switching frequency set on the TPS92001D?
The TPS92001D switching frequency is set by external components: timing capacitor CCT (typically 820 pF) and two resistors - RRTC (10 kΩ) on pin RTC and RRTD (4.32 kΩ) on pin RTD. Equation 3 in the datasheet gives fOSC = 0.74 / [CCT × (RRTC + RRTD + 54 pF)]. At these values, frequency is 100 kHz nominal, with ±10% variation due to component tolerances and temperature drift.
Does the TPS92001D support both isolated and non-isolated topologies?
Yes, the TPS92001D supports both isolated (e.g., flyback) and non-isolated (e.g., low-side buck, buck-boost) topologies. Its current-mode architecture and flexible feedback path - accepting signals from current sense resistors, optocouplers, or auxiliary windings - enable implementation in either configuration. Figure 3 (isolated flyback) and Figure 4 (low-side buck) in the SLUSA24A datasheet confirm both use cases.
What is the purpose of the SS pin on the TPS92001D?
The SS (soft-start) pin on the TPS92001D controls startup behavior via an internal 6-µA current source that charges an external capacitor. As SS ramps from 0.4 V to 2.0 V, the output duty cycle increases gradually - preventing inrush current and transformer saturation. Pulling SS below 0.5 V forces shutdown and reduces VDD current to 100 µA, enabling simple enable/disable control without external logic.
