DESCRIPTION
The TK75020 is a low-cost, high-performance Zero-Voltage
Switching (ZVS) controller IC. The primary applications
are in inverters for Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps
(CCFL) and in ZVS quasi-resonant or multi-resonant
converters. The combination of a unique (patent-pending)
control concept and a ZVS resonant inverter generates
low-distortion sine wave for the fluorescent lamp, leading
to extended lamp life and high luminous efficiency. The IC
features all necessary circuits of a controller for such
applications, including externally adjustable timing
parameters (frequency, T
on(min)
, T
off(max)
), current limit,
Soft-Start, enable, error amplifier, and a trimmed reference.
The same reference is used for undervoltage protection
and other critical internal biases. Supply current in the “off”
mode is kept at a minimum level (2
μ
A typical). Special
care has been taken to avoid undesirable turn-on of the
external power MOSFET when sufficient supply voltage is
not available, or when the device is held in the off mode.
Even with no V
cc
applied, the drive pin of the IC will sink in
excess of 20 mA while maintaining the voltage below 1 V
to prevent that leakage currents turn on the power MOSFET.
An internal zero-voltage detector monitors the voltage
across the MOSFET and ensures that the turn-on will only
take place under zero-voltage conditions. A unique
overdissipation protection prevents the overheating of the
power MOSFET in case the zero-voltage switching is lost.
The TK75020 is available in a 14-lead surface mount
package.
