Product details
Overview
TPS92010DR from Texas Instruments is an 8-pin SOIC quasi-resonant offline LED lighting controller with primary-side regulation, 1-A sink / –0.75-A source TrueDrive™ gate output, programmable soft-start, and integrated cycle-by-cycle power limit. It operates across –40°C to 105°C and delivers high-efficiency constant-current drive for residential A19/E26 LED lamps.
For engineers reviewing the TPS92010DR datasheet, TPS92010DR pinout, TPS92010DR application, or TPS92010DR equivalent, key selection criteria include its QR/DCM/frequency-foldback multi-mode operation, VSD-based valley switching detection, LPM open-drain status signaling, FB-controlled mode transitions, and primary-side overvoltage protection architecture.
Technical Context
The TPS92010DR implements current-mode control with three distinct operating modes: quasi-resonant (QR) or DCM above 2.0 V FB (130 kHz max), frequency foldback (FFM) between 1.4–2.0 V FB (40–130 kHz), and burst-mode low-power operation below 0.5 V FB (40 kHz pulses). Mode transitions are governed by internal voltage thresholds on the FB pin and coordinated by the oscillator, QR detect, and fault logic blocks.
It integrates primary-side sensing via VSD (valley switching detect) and PCS (peak current sense) pins, enabling open-LED protection, line/load overvoltage shutdown, and cycle-by-cycle power limiting using a programmable RPL network. The 1-A sink / –0.75-A source GD output drives external MOSFETs directly without external buffers.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCC28810DR | Fixed 65-kHz frequency; no QR valley detection; uses optocoupler feedback; lacks LPM pin and VSD functionality | Suitable for lower-cost, non-dimmable LED tubes where EMI filtering is less critical | Select UCC28810DR only if QR efficiency and primary-side regulation are not required |

FAQ
What is the function of the VSD pin on the TPS92010DR?
The VSD pin on the TPS92010DR senses the primary bias winding voltage to detect resonant valleys for zero-voltage switching, and simultaneously provides line and load overvoltage protection. When VSD exceeds 3.75 V or sources more than –450 μA, the TPS92010DR initiates a shutdown-retry cycle. This dual-purpose pin eliminates the need for secondary-side sensing in the TPS92010DR design.
Does the TPS92010DR require an optocoupler for feedback?
No, the TPS92010DR does not require an optocoupler. It implements primary-side regulation using the VSD and FB pins to infer output voltage and current indirectly from the transformer bias winding and reflected waveforms. This simplifies isolation design, reduces BOM cost, and improves reliability compared to secondary-feedback topologies using the TPS92010DR.
How does the TPS92010DR achieve low standby power?
The TPS92010DR achieves low standby power through three mechanisms: sub-25-μA startup current, automatic transition to burst-mode low-power operation (40 kHz pulses) when FB falls below 0.5 V, and internal circuitry disabling non-essential blocks during light-load conditions. These features enable TPS92010DR-based designs to meet ENERGY STAR® and ERP Tier 2 standby power requirements.
What protection features are integrated into the TPS92010DR?
The TPS92010DR integrates cycle-by-cycle power limit (via PCS pin), primary-side overvoltage protection (via VSD pin), undervoltage lockout (UVLO on VDD), thermal shutdown (140°C), and open-LED detection. All protections trigger controlled shutdown with automatic retry after fault clearance - no external circuitry is needed to implement robust safety in TPS92010DR-based LED drivers.
Can the TPS92010DR be used in dimmable LED lamp designs?
Yes, the TPS92010DR supports analog and PWM dimming through FB pin voltage modulation. As FB decreases from 4.8 V to 0.5 V, the controller automatically shifts from QR mode to frequency foldback and finally to burst-mode low-power operation - maintaining tight current regulation across the full dimming range. This behavior is fully characterized and validated in TPS92010DR reference designs.
