General description

The TEA152x family STARplug is a Switched Mode Power Supply (SMPS) controller IC

that operates directly from the rectified universal mains. It is implemented in the

high-voltage EZ-HV SOI process, combined with a low-voltage BiCMOS process. The

device includes a high-voltage power switch and a circuit for start-up directly from the

rectified mains voltage.

A dedicated circuit for valley switching is built in, which makes a very efficient slim-line

electronic power plug concept possible.

In its most basic version of application, the TEA152x family acts as a voltage source.

Here, no additional secondary electronics are required. A combined voltage and current

source can be realized with minimum costs for external components. Implementation of

the TEA152x family renders an efficient and low cost power supply system.
