Product details
Overview
TPS92001DR from Texas Instruments is a phase-cut TRIAC-dimmable PWM controller for single-stage LED lighting drivers, supporting isolated and non-isolated topologies. It delivers 0.4-A source / 0.8-A sink gate drive, operates up to 1 MHz, features a 5-V reference output, and includes undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with 10 V turn-on threshold - used in residential A19/E26/GU10/MR16 LED lamp drivers.
For engineers reviewing the TPS92001DR datasheet, TPS92001DR pinout, TPS92001DR application, or TPS92001DR equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, SOIC-8 package mapping, confirmed UVLO thresholds, oscillator timing parameters, gate driver capability, and real-world dimming interface implementation details.
Technical Context
The TPS92001DR implements fixed-frequency current-mode control using an internal oscillator with programmable rise/fall times via RTC/RTD pins and a timing capacitor (CCT). Its CS pin sums primary current sense and slope compensation against a precise 1-V threshold to reset the PWM latch.
It integrates a totem-pole gate driver optimized for N-channel MOSFETs, full-cycle soft-start via SS pin charging, and a buffered 5-V reference (REF) capable of sourcing up to 6 mA. UVLO ensures safe startup with 10 V turn-on and 8 V turn-off thresholds, and internal clamp limits VDD to 17.5 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| UVLO Turn-On Threshold | 10 V - Ensures reliable startup only after input rail stabilizes above minimum operating voltage. |
| Gate Driver Capability | 0.4-A source / 0.8-A sink - Directly drives medium-power N-MOSFET gates without external buffers. |
| Oscillator Frequency Range | 90–110 kHz - Programmable via RTC, RTD, and CCT; supports EMI-compliant switching in LED drivers. |
| Reference Output | 5 V ±2.5% - Stable, buffered supply for optocouplers or microcontrollers; requires 0.47-µF ceramic bypass. |
| Startup Current | 110 µA - Enables low-power auxiliary supply designs and reduces no-load losses. |
| Maximum Duty Cycle | 70% - Limits conduction time to maintain stability and prevent transformer saturation in flyback designs. |
| CS Comparator Threshold | 0.95 V typical - Sets current regulation point; slope compensation improves loop stability under DCM/PWM transitions. |
Pinout & Package
TPS92001DR is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package (JEDEC MS-012, variation AA), 3.91 mm wide × 4.9 mm long × 1.75 mm max height, RoHS-compliant with NiPdAu lead finish and MSL Level-1 rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - CS | Current Sense Input | Summing node for primary current feedback and slope compensation; includes internal 250-Ω discharge FET for leading-edge blanking. |
| 2 - SS | Soft-Start Control | Charged by 6-µA internal current source; 0.4–2 V ramp controls duty-cycle ramp-up; <0.5 V forces shutdown. |
| 3 - RTC | Oscillator Timing (Rise) | Connects to RRTC to set oscillator charging time; senses upper threshold (3.33 V) via RTD during CCT charge cycle. |
| 4 - RTD | Oscillator Timing (Fall) | Connects to RRTD to set oscillator discharge time; senses lower threshold (1.67 V) via RTC during CCT discharge cycle. |
| 5 - GND | Power & Signal Ground | Common reference for all analog and power circuits; must be low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 6 - GD | Gate Driver Output | Totem-pole output driving N-MOSFET gate; requires ≥3.9 Ω series resistor to limit peak current and damp ringing. |
| 7 - VDD | Supply Input | Shunt-clamped at 17.5 V; bypassed with 1-µF ceramic capacitor; powers internal circuitry and gate driver. |
| 8 - REF | 5-V Reference Output | Buffered, low-noise 5-V source (±2.5%); supplies optocoupler LEDs or MCU peripherals; requires 0.47-µF ceramic bypass to GND. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TRIAC Dimming Compatibility | Supports phase-cut AC dimmers without external synchronization circuitry - enables direct retrofit into legacy incandescent fixtures. |
| Single-Stage Design Enablement | Integrates PFC-capable control logic and high-voltage tolerance (17.5 V clamp) - eliminates need for separate PFC controller in cost-sensitive LED drivers. |
| Low Component Count Operation | Requires only RTC, RTD, CCT, CS sense resistor, and REF bypass cap - reduces BOM cost and board area vs. multi-chip solutions. |
| Full-Cycle Soft Start | Internal 6-µA SS current source and voltage-ramped enable sequence prevent inrush current and transformer stress at power-up. |
| Robust EMI Filtering Support | CS pin's integrated 250-Ω NMOS discharge path enables effective high-frequency noise filtering with minimal external RC components. |

| Overhead Office Lighting | Pathway & Sconce Lighting |
Use Scenario: Driving PAR30/38 integral LED lamps in commercial ceiling fixtures requiring PF >0.9 and THD <20%. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Core controller in single-stage flyback with valley-switching assist, managing both PFC and regulation via CS and REF feedback paths.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS92002DR | Higher UVLO turn-on (15 V) and turn-off (8.8 V); otherwise identical pinout, timing, and drive specs. | Better suited for DC-input or high-line AC systems where 10 V UVLO would cause premature shutdown during brownouts. | Select TPS92002DR when input voltage dips below 12 V are expected; retain same layout and external components. |
| NCP1014DR2G | Fixed-frequency current-mode controller with integrated 700 V MOSFET; no REF output or TRIAC dimming support. | Targets ultra-low-cost, non-dimmable LED bulbs; lacks soft-start control, 5-V REF, and CS-based slope compensation. | Choose NCP1014DR2G only for cost-driven, non-dimmable applications where board space permits larger SOIC-8 footprint and no auxiliary bias needed. |
Compared with TPS92002DR, the TPS92001DR offers earlier startup for universal-input designs but less brownout resilience; versus NCP1014DR2G, it adds dimming interface, precision REF, and soft-start - at the cost of requiring an external MOSFET.

FAQ
What is the UVLO behavior of the TPS92001DR?
The TPS92001DR features undervoltage lockout with a 10 V turn-on threshold and 8 V turn-off threshold, providing 2 V hysteresis. This ensures clean startup once the input rail exceeds 10 V and prevents erratic operation during brownout conditions. The internal clamp limits VDD to 17.5 V, protecting the TPS92001DR from overvoltage stress during transient events.
Can the TPS92001DR drive a high-side N-channel MOSFET directly?
No - the TPS92001DR GD pin is a ground-referenced totem-pole driver optimized for low-side or bootstrapped high-side configurations. To drive a high-side N-MOSFET, a bootstrap circuit with floating supply and gate resistor (≥3.9 Ω) is required. The TPS92001DR does not include high-side level-shifting circuitry.
What timing components set the oscillator frequency of the TPS92001DR?
The TPS92001DR oscillator frequency is set by external components: RRTC (pin 3), RRTD (pin 4), and CCT (timing capacitor to GND). With RRTC = 10 kΩ, RRTD = 4.32 kΩ, and CCT = 820 pF, the nominal frequency is 100 kHz. Equation fOSC = 0.74 / [CCT × (RRTC + RRTD + 27 pF)] applies per the datasheet.
Does the TPS92001DR support both leading- and trailing-edge TRIAC dimmers?
The TPS92001DR is explicitly characterized for phase-cut TRIAC dimming, including compatibility with standard leading-edge (incandescent-compatible) dimmers. Trailing-edge (electronic low-voltage) dimmer support is not specified in the datasheet and requires validation in the target application circuit due to differences in firing angle detection and hold-current requirements.
How is soft-start implemented on the TPS92001DR?
The TPS92001DR implements full-cycle soft-start via the SS pin: an internal 6-µA current source charges an external capacitor, ramping SS from 0.4 V to 2 V. Below 0.5 V, the GD output is held low; between 1 V and 2 V, duty cycle increases linearly. This prevents inrush current and magnetic core saturation during startup of the TPS92001DR-based converter.
