Product details
Overview
TPS92002DGK from Texas Instruments is a phase-cut TRIAC-dimmable LED lighting PWM controller in an 8-pin MSOP package, featuring 15-V UVLO turn-on threshold, 70% maximum duty cycle, 100-kHz fixed-frequency current-mode operation, 0.4-A source/0.8-A sink gate driver, and integrated 5-V reference output. It enables single-stage isolated or non-isolated flyback and buck LED drivers for residential A19/E26/GU10/MR16 lamps.
For engineers reviewing the TPS92002DGK datasheet, TPS92002DGK pinout, TPS92002DGK application, or TPS92002DGK equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world dimming interface implementation details, thermal performance under 105°C junction operation, and direct alternative part comparisons for TRIAC-dimmable LED driver design.
Technical Context
The TPS92002DGK implements fixed-frequency current-mode PWM control with internal oscillator timing set by external RTC/RTD resistors and CCT capacitor, delivering precise 100-kHz switching (±10%) across –40°C to +105°C. Its CS pin sums primary current sense and slope compensation against a 1-V threshold to reset the PWM latch, enabling accurate peak-current regulation.
UVLO is latched with 15-V turn-on and 8.8-V turn-off (6.2-V hysteresis), ensuring safe startup and shutdown in off-line AC applications. The GD driver delivers 0.4-A source / 0.8-A sink capability into N-channel MOSFET gates, with 35-ns rise and 18-ns fall times into 1-nF load, supporting fast-switching LED power stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| UVLO Turn-On Threshold | 15 V - Ensures reliable startup only after input rail stabilizes above dimmer-conducted minimum voltage. |
| Max Duty Cycle | 70% - Limits conduction time per cycle to maintain stable current regulation in wide-input dimming ranges. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 100 kHz - Fixed frequency enables predictable EMI filtering and transformer design for Class B compliance. |
| Gate Drive Capability | 0.4-A source / 0.8-A sink - Directly drives medium-power MOSFETs without external buffer, reducing BOM count. |
| Reference Output | 5.0 V ±2.5% - Powers auxiliary circuitry (e.g., microcontroller, optocoupler bias) with <2 mV line/load regulation. |
| Startup Current | 110 µA - Enables low-loss high-impedance startup networks compatible with TRIAC trailing-edge dimmers. |
| Operating Junction Temp | –40°C to +105°C - Validated for enclosed residential lamp environments with minimal heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
TPS92002DGK uses an 8-pin VSSOP (DGK) package, 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm × 1.1 mm height, with exposed thermal pad for enhanced PCB heat dissipation. Pin 1 index area located at top-left corner (viewed top-down); pin numbering follows standard counter-clockwise sequence.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS (Pin 1) | Current Sense Summing Node | Accepts primary-side current sense signal and slope compensation; internal 1-V comparator resets PWM latch on threshold crossing. |
| SS (Pin 2) | Soft-Start Timing Input | Charged by internal 6-µA current source; 0.4–2.0 V ramp controls duty-cycle ramp-up during startup to limit inrush. |
| RTC (Pin 3) | Oscillator Rise-Time Control | Connects to timing resistor setting positive ramp slope of internal oscillator capacitor (CCT); defines 70% max duty cycle timing. |
| RTD (Pin 4) | Oscillator Fall-Time Control | Connects to timing resistor setting negative ramp slope of CCT; works with RTC to fix 100-kHz oscillator frequency. |
| GND (Pin 5) | Power & Signal Reference Ground | Common return for all internal circuits; must be low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling into CS/SS pins. |
| GD (Pin 6) | Gate Driver Output | Totem-pole N-channel output driving external MOSFET gate; 0.8-V saturation ensures full enhancement at 12-V VDD. |
| VDD (Pin 7) | Supply Input with Clamp | Shunt-regulated at 17.5 V; accepts 21-V max input; bypassed with 1-µF ceramic capacitor for stable gate drive supply. |
| REF (Pin 8) | 5-V Buffered Reference Output | Stable 5.0-V source for optocoupler bias or MCU supply; requires 0.47-µF ceramic bypass to GND for ripple suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TRIAC Phase-Cut Dimming Support | Enables direct integration with legacy wall dimmers without additional active front-end circuitry. |
| Full-Cycle Soft Start | Prevents inrush current and audible transformer whine by linearly ramping duty cycle from 0% to 70% over ~10 ms. |
| Integrated 5-V Reference | Eliminates need for external LDO; supports optocoupler feedback and low-power microcontrollers with <2-mV regulation error. |
| Low 110-µA Startup Current | Permits use of high-value startup resistors (>1 MΩ), minimizing standby power loss in energy-efficient lamp designs. |
| Leading Edge Blanking via CS | Internal 250-Ω NMOS discharges external RC filter during PWM off-time, improving noise immunity without extra components. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS92001DGK | 10-V UVLO turn-on (vs. 15 V), identical pinout, same 70% DMAX and 100-kHz oscillator. | Better suited for lower-input-voltage DC-fed or universal-input designs where early startup is required. | Select TPS92001DGK when operating from 12-V nominal rails or needing earlier activation below 15 V. |
| NCP1014DR2G | Fixed-frequency current-mode controller with integrated 700-V MOSFET; no 5-V REF or TRIAC-specific soft-start logic. | Targets cost-sensitive non-dimmable AC/DC LED drivers; lacks native phase-cut dimming support and external dimming interface. | Choose NCP1014DR2G only for non-dimmable, single-chip flyback designs where BOM reduction outweighs dimming capability. |
Compared with TPS92002DGK, TPS92001DGK offers lower UVLO for wider input compatibility but reduced margin against TRIAC dropout; NCP1014DR2G integrates power switch but sacrifices dimming features and reference output-making TPS92002DGK optimal for TRIAC-dimmable residential LED drivers requiring precision control and auxiliary power.

FAQ
What is the UVLO hysteresis of the TPS92002DGK?
The TPS92002DGK has a 6.2-V UVLO hysteresis, with 15-V turn-on and 8.8-V turn-off thresholds. This wide hysteresis prevents oscillatory startup near the dimmer's minimum conduction voltage and ensures clean shutdown during deep dimming. The specification is validated across –40°C to +105°C and appears in the Electrical Characteristics table of the SLUSA24A datasheet for TPS92002DGK.
Can the TPS92002DGK drive a MOSFET directly without a gate driver IC?
Yes, the TPS92002DGK can drive N-channel MOSFETs directly: its GD pin delivers 0.4-A source and 0.8-A sink current with 35-ns rise and 18-ns fall times into 1-nF load. A minimum 3.9-Ω series gate resistor is recommended per the datasheet to limit peak current and suppress ringing. This capability eliminates external buffers in most ≤30-W LED driver designs using TPS92002DGK.
What is the purpose of the SS pin on the TPS92002DGK?
The SS (Soft-Start) pin on the TPS92002DGK controls startup behavior via an internal 6-µA current source charging an external capacitor. As SS ramps from 0.4 V to 2.0 V, the output duty cycle increases linearly from 0% to 70%, preventing inrush current and transformer saturation. If SS drops below 0.5 V, the GD output is inhibited-enabling external fault shutdown. This function is fully documented in the Application Information section of the TPS92002DGK datasheet.
Does the TPS92002DGK support both isolated and non-isolated topologies?
Yes, the TPS92002DGK supports both isolated (e.g., flyback) and non-isolated (e.g., low-side buck) topologies, as confirmed in the device description and Figure 3–4 of the SLUSA24A datasheet. Its current-mode architecture, optocoupler-compatible CS pin, and flexible gate drive allow implementation in either configuration-commonly used in isolated A19 lamps and non-isolated GU10/MR16 designs using TPS92002DGK.
How does the TPS92002DGK achieve TRIAC dimming compatibility?
The TPS92002DGK achieves TRIAC dimming compatibility through three integrated features: (1) low 110-µA startup current enabling high-impedance startup networks that sustain TRIAC holding current, (2) full-cycle soft start preventing misfiring during phase-angle transitions, and (3) UVLO hysteresis tuned to avoid dropout during minimum conduction angles. These are explicitly cited in the FEATURES and APPLICATIONS sections of the TPS92002DGK datasheet.
