Product details
Overview
TPS92210DR from Texas Instruments is a natural power factor correction (PFC) LED lighting driver controller in an 8-pin SOIC package, featuring cascoded MOSFET architecture, valley-switching operation via transformer zero-energy detection (TZE), and programmable constant on-time control. It delivers up to 3 A peak DRN current, supports TRIAC-dimmable residential LED retrofit designs (A19, GU10, MR16), and operates across –40°C to 125°C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the TPS92210DR datasheet, TPS92210DR pinout, TPS92210DR application, or TPS92210DR equivalent, key selection considerations include its integrated primary-side current sensing (no external sense resistor), user-configurable overload response (latch-off vs. retry mode), valley-switching timing accuracy (tWAIT(TZE) = 2.4 µs typ), and compatibility with single-stage flyback topologies for high-efficiency AC/DC LED drivers.
Technical Context
The TPS92210DR implements a constant-on-time (COT) PWM modulation algorithm that varies switching frequency and primary peak current while maintaining discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) or transition mode (TM) across input line and load conditions. Its cascode architecture uses an internal 90 mΩ low-voltage MOSFET (DRN-to-GND path) driven by a fixed VCG bias voltage (14 V regulated) to control an external high-voltage MOSFET.
Transformer zero-energy detection at the TZE pin enables valley switching with 2.4 µs wait time after zero-crossing detection (TZE(TH) = 5–50 mV), reducing EMI and improving efficiency. Overload protection is programmed via ROTM (100–150 kΩ threshold), and open-LED fault detection is implemented through output overvoltage monitoring at TZE (OVP threshold = 5.0 V).

|---|---|---|---|
| UCC28810DR | Fixed-frequency CCM flyback controller with active PFC; no valley switching; requires external current sense resistor | Targets higher-power (>50 W), lower-THD commercial lighting where CCM operation is preferred | Choose UCC28810DR when active PFC and tighter THD control are required; avoid for space-constrained retrofit bulbs |
| NCP1015ST | Fixed-frequency DCM flyback controller; no integrated PFC; no TZE or valley switching; simpler FB regulation only | Suitable for non-dimmable, low-cost LED tubes or signage where PF > 0.7 is acceptable | Choose NCP1015ST for cost-sensitive, non-PFC applications; lacks overload programmability and natural PFC capability of TPS92210DR |

FAQ
What is the recommended startup resistor value for TPS92210DR?
The TPS92210DR startup resistor (RSU) is typically ~10 MΩ to provide ~6 µA bleed current from the bulk AC line. This charges the VCG capacitor to initiate bias; exact value depends on input voltage range and desired startup time. TI recommends verifying RSU selection using the VCG clamp voltage (16 V during startup) and minimum VDD turn-on threshold (10.2 V) to ensure reliable cold-start behavior across –40°C to 125°C.
Does TPS92210DR require an external current sense resistor?
No, the TPS92210DR does not require an external current sense resistor. It uses an internal current mirror to scale the primary current flowing through the DRN pin (RDS(on) = 90 mΩ typ) and compare it against the PCL pin current. The peak primary current is set by connecting a resistor (24.3–100 kΩ) from PCL to GND-eliminating power loss, board space, and cost associated with discrete sense resistors.
How is overload protection configured on TPS92210DR?
Overload protection on the TPS92210DR is configured using the ROTM resistor connected from OTM to GND. Values below 100 kΩ select retry mode (750 ms delay); values above 150 kΩ select latch-off mode. The threshold is 100–150 kΩ. This allows designers to match fault response to system requirements-retry for transient surges, latch-off for sustained overloads-without firmware or external logic.
What is the function of the TZE pin on TPS92210DR?
The TZE pin on the TPS92210DR detects transformer demagnetization by monitoring the auxiliary winding voltage through a resistive divider. It triggers valley switching with a 2.4 µs wait time after zero-crossing (TZE(TH) = 5–50 mV), minimizing switching loss. It also serves as the input for output overvoltage protection, with a fixed 5.0 V threshold that latches faults if exceeded-providing dual functionality in one pin.
Can TPS92210DR support both constant-on-time and peak-current-mode control?
Yes, the TPS92210DR supports both modes. Constant-on-time control is enabled by connecting a resistor (ROTM) to the OTM pin; peak-current-mode control uses the FB pin to inject error current into the modulator. The device automatically adapts its switching behavior-frequency modulation in COT mode, amplitude modulation in peak-current mode-based on external component configuration and feedback signal routing.
