Product details
Overview
TPS92001DGK from Texas Instruments is a phase-cut TRIAC-dimmable PWM controller for LED lighting, implementing fixed-frequency current-mode control with 10-V UVLO turn-on threshold, 70% maximum duty cycle, and integrated 5-V reference output. It drives N-channel MOSFETs via a 0.4-A source/0.8-A sink gate driver and supports isolated/non-isolated flyback topologies in residential A19/E26/GU10 lamps.
For engineers reviewing the TPS92001DGK datasheet, TPS92001DGK pinout, TPS92001DGK application, or TPS92001DGK equivalent, this device is selected for TRIAC-dimmable LED drivers requiring low startup current (110 µA), soft-start control, EMI-filter-compatible timing architecture, and MSOP-8 packaging for space-constrained lighting modules.
Technical Context
The TPS92001DGK uses a current-mode PWM architecture with internal oscillator frequency set by RTC, RTD, and CCT (e.g., 100 kHz with RRTC = 10 kΩ, RRTD = 4.32 kΩ, CCT = 820 pF). Its CS pin sums primary current sense and slope compensation against a 1-V threshold to reset the PWM latch.
UVLO features 10-V turn-on and 8-V turn-off thresholds with 2-V hysteresis; the GD driver delivers rail-to-rail switching with 35-ns rise and 18-ns fall times into 1-nF load. Soft-start is controlled by an internal 6-µA current source charging the SS pin capacitor.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| UVLO Turn-On Threshold | 10 V - Ensures reliable startup above brownout conditions in 120-VAC line-derived supplies |
| Max Duty Cycle | 70% - Limits peak primary current in flyback converters to maintain transformer safety margins |
| Oscillator Frequency | 100 kHz (typ) - Balances EMI performance and magnetics size for residential lighting |
| Gate Driver Sink/Source | 0.8 A sink / 0.4 A source - Directly drives medium-power MOSFET gates without external buffers |
| Reference Output | 5 V ±2.5% - Powers auxiliary circuitry (e.g., microcontroller, optocoupler bias) with 0.47-µF bypass |
| Startup Current | 110 µA - Enables operation from high-impedance bleeder networks in TRIAC-dimming interfaces |
| Operating Junction Temp | –40°C to +105°C - Supports enclosed fixture environments without derating |
Pinout & Package
TPS92001DGK is housed in an 8-pin VSSOP (DGK) package measuring 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm × 1.1 mm, optimized for compact LED driver PCBs with thermal pad exposed on underside.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS (Pin 1) | Current Sense Input | Summation node for primary current feedback and slope compensation; resets PWM latch at 1-V threshold |
| SS (Pin 2) | Soft-Start Control | Charged by internal 6-µA current source; 0.4–2.0 V range controls duty-cycle ramp during startup |
| RTC (Pin 3) | Oscillator Timing Input | Sets positive ramp time of internal oscillator via external resistor; senses CCT voltage at 3.33 V threshold |
| RTD (Pin 4) | Oscillator Timing Input | Sets negative ramp time of internal oscillator via external resistor; senses CCT voltage at 1.67 V threshold |
| GND (Pin 5) | Power & Signal Reference | Common return for all analog and power circuits; must be low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling |
| GD (Pin 6) | Gate Driver Output | High-current totem-pole output driving N-MOSFET gate; requires ≥3.9 Ω series resistor for dV/dt control |
| VDD (Pin 7) | Supply Input | Shunt-regulated at 17.5 V; bypassed with 1-µF ceramic capacitor to sustain gate drive under transient loads |
| REF (Pin 8) | 5-V Reference Output | Buffered precision reference; supplies up to 6 mA and requires 0.47-µF ceramic bypass to GND |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TRIAC Dimming Compatibility | Supports leading-edge phase-cut dimmers without additional active circuitry, using internal soft-start and current-mode control to suppress flicker |
| Integrated 5-V Reference | Stable 5-V output with ±2.5% tolerance and 2-mV line/load regulation enables direct powering of optocouplers or MCU peripherals |
| Low Startup Current | 110 µA typical allows use with high-value bleeder resistors in dimmer interface circuits, minimizing standby power loss |
| Full-Cycle Soft Start | Internal 6-µA SS current source ramps duty cycle from 0% to 70% over ~100 ms, preventing inrush current in transformer-coupled outputs |
| EMI-Optimized Oscillator | RTC/RTD/CCT timing network minimizes capacitive coupling sensitivity; recommended layout places resistors adjacent to pins 3/4 and returns CCT directly to GND |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS92002DGKR | 15-V UVLO turn-on threshold vs. 10 V; identical pinout, timing, and driver specs | Better suited for 230-VAC systems or higher-input DC-DC designs where higher startup voltage prevents false triggering | Select TPS92002DGKR when input supply exceeds 18 V nominal or requires wider UVLO hysteresis margin |
| NCP1015ST100T3G | Fixed 100-kHz frequency, no soft-start, no integrated 5-V reference, lower gate drive (0.5 A sink) | Lacks TRIAC-dimming optimization and requires external reference/bias; targets cost-sensitive non-dimmable applications | Choose NCP1015ST100T3G only for fixed-output, non-dimmable LED drivers where BOM cost outweighs dimming capability |
Compared with TPS92001DGK, TPS92002DGKR offers higher UVLO for robustness in wide-input AC systems, while NCP1015ST100T3G reduces feature set and integration to lower cost-neither provides full TRIAC-dimming support or 5-V reference functionality inherent to TPS92001DGK.

FAQ
What is the UVLO behavior of the TPS92001DGK?
The TPS92001DGK has a 10-V turn-on threshold and 8-V turn-off threshold, providing 2-V hysteresis to prevent oscillation during input voltage sags. This ensures clean startup and shutdown in 120-VAC-derived supplies and avoids false triggering from line noise. The UVLO circuit draws only 110 µA during startup, enabling compatibility with high-impedance dimmer interface networks.
How does the TPS92001DGK support TRIAC dimming?
The TPS92001DGK supports leading-edge phase-cut TRIAC dimming through its current-mode architecture, programmable soft-start, and low 110-µA startup current. It eliminates the need for external dimmer detection circuitry by relying on inherent current-sense loop stability and full-cycle soft-start to suppress audible noise and visible flicker across the 10–100% dimming range.
What is the function of the REF pin on the TPS92001DGK?
The REF pin on the TPS92001DGK delivers a buffered 5-V ±2.5% reference output capable of sourcing up to 6 mA. It is intended to power auxiliary components such as optocoupler bias networks, microcontroller I/O, or dimmer interface comparators. A 0.47-µF ceramic capacitor must be placed directly between REF and GND to ensure stability and low-noise operation.
Can the TPS92001DGK drive a MOSFET directly without external components?
Yes, the TPS92001DGK integrates a 0.4-A source / 0.8-A sink gate driver on the GD pin, enabling direct drive of medium-power N-channel MOSFETs. A minimum 3.9-Ω series gate resistor is required to limit dV/dt and prevent ringing. No external driver stage is needed for MOSFETs with Qg ≤ 25 nC in typical 100-kHz LED driver designs.
What package type is used for the TPS92001DGK?
The TPS92001DGK uses the 8-pin VSSOP (DGK) package - a 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm × 1.1 mm surface-mount outline with exposed thermal pad. This compact, low-profile package supports high-density LED driver layouts and provides superior thermal performance versus SOIC-8, with θJA = 62°C/W under standard PCB conditions.
