Product details
Overview
TPS92315DBVT from Texas Instruments is an off-line primary-side sensing flyback controller for isolated LED drivers, delivering ±5% LED current regulation without opto-couplers. It operates from 85–264VAC input, supports quasi-resonant valley switching up to 130 kHz, and integrates gate drive for external MOSFETs in SOT-23-6 package. Used in compact GU-10 and E14 LED bulbs.
For engineers reviewing the TPS92315DBVT datasheet, TPS92315DBVT pinout, TPS92315DBVT application, or TPS92315DBVT equivalent, key selection criteria include primary-side current regulation accuracy, VCC UVLO thresholds (21 V turn-on / 8.1 V turn-off), VSNS voltage-sense precision (4.05 V regulation level), ISNS current-sense threshold range (230–775 mV), and integrated protection against over-voltage, over-current, and thermal shutdown.
Technical Context
The TPS92315DBVT implements discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) with valley-switching control, using timing and amplitude modulation to maintain high efficiency across full load and input voltage ranges. Its VSNS pin samples auxiliary winding voltage at zero-current crossing to enable accurate output voltage estimation without secondary feedback.
It combines cycle-by-cycle peak primary current control via ISNS with line-compensated current regulation (KLC = 25 A/A), while internal protection logic monitors VSNS line-sense current (220 µA run / 80 µA stop) and triggers UVLO reset on over-temperature (165°C), over-voltage (4.6 V), or over-current (1.5 V at ISNS) faults.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED driver controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCC28810DR | Fixed-frequency DCM controller with PSR; no valley switching; 500 kHz max frequency; higher gate drive (500 mA) | Targets higher-power (>15 W), lower-cost designs where EMI filtering dominates layout; lacks frequency jitter | Prefer UCC28810DR when designing for cost-sensitive, non-dimmable high-lumen fixtures with fixed transformer turns ratios |
| NCP1015ST65T3G | Fixed-frequency PWM controller with opto-coupled feedback; no PSR; 65 kHz fixed frequency; integrated 700 V MOSFET | Requires secondary-side feedback loop; suited for legacy designs needing proven reliability over ultra-compact size | Choose NCP1015ST65T3G only when reusing existing opto-coupler-based layouts or when secondary regulation tolerance >±8% is acceptable |
Compared with UCC28810DR and NCP1015ST65T3G, the TPS92315DBVT delivers superior efficiency and EMI performance via valley switching and frequency jitter, while enabling smaller magnetics and eliminating opto-coupler BOM cost-critical for sub-15 mm height LED bulbs.

FAQ
What is the function of the DNC pin on the TPS92315DBVT?
The DNC (Do Not Connect) pin on the TPS92315DBVT is reserved exclusively for factory test purposes. In all end-user applications, this pin must remain unconnected and floating-no trace, pad, or solder should be attached. Connecting it risks unpredictable behavior or damage, as confirmed in the official TI datasheet SNVS904A section "Terminal Functions".
How does the TPS92315DBVT achieve ±5% LED current regulation without an opto-coupler?
The TPS92315DBVT achieves ±5% LED current regulation through primary-side sensing: it samples the auxiliary winding voltage at transformer demagnetization zero-crossing to infer output voltage, then modulates switching frequency and peak primary current (via ISNS) to maintain constant secondary current. This eliminates opto-coupler dependency while preserving accuracy across line and load variations, as validated in TI's application note SLVA625.
What are the absolute maximum ratings for the VSNS and ISNS pins of the TPS92315DBVT?
The TPS92315DBVT VSNS pin has an absolute maximum voltage of –0.75 V to +7 V and peak current of –1.2 mA; the ISNS pin tolerates –0.5 V to +5 V with peak current of –1 mA. Exceeding these-especially negative voltage on VSNS due to ringing-can cause permanent damage. TI recommends RC snubbers and strict PCB layout rules per Figure 12 in SNVS904A to keep VSNS p-p ripple below 100 mV.
Can the TPS92315DBVT support dimming applications, and if so, how?
Yes, the TPS92315DBVT supports leading- and trailing-edge phase-cut dimming via its line-sensing capability on the VSNS pin. By monitoring bulk capacitor voltage during MOSFET on-time, it detects dimmer conduction angle and adjusts output current accordingly. Designers implement dimming by scaling the VSNS divider to trigger run/stop thresholds (220 µA/80 µA) within the dimmer's operating window, as detailed in TI's TPS92315 application schematic.
What thermal considerations apply to the TPS92315DBVT in a sealed LED bulb enclosure?
In sealed LED bulb enclosures, the TPS92315DBVT's junction temperature must stay ≤125°C continuous (165°C shutdown). With θJA = 180°C/W, PCB copper area and thermal vias under the exposed pad are critical. TI recommends ≥250 mm² of 2-oz copper connected via ≥6 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter) to inner ground planes. Ambient derating curves in SNVS904A Figure 2 confirm <2.8 mA bias current at 100°C ambient, ensuring stable operation.
