® APPLICATION NOTE
250W HIGH POWER FACTOR SUPPLY FOR TV
INTRODUCTION
This application has been designed to provide a
complete supply for colour TV. The system has
been configured using a Flyback DC-DC con-
verter with an upstream PFC section in order to
improve the characteristics of the whole supply.
The architecture of the system consists of a
L4981A controller with the relevant circuitry for
the PFC section, and of a TEA2261 synchro-
nised, in master-slave configuration, with a
TEA5170 at 15 kHz switching frequency. When
the supply is in stand-by condition, the TEA2261
controller operates in burst mode.

DESCRIPTION.
How to use the demoboard:
The evaluation board is provided with a multi-con-
tact switch (sw.1) which allows to simulate the
TVC operations. The procedure is very simple:
1) Put the switch (1) in s-by position and then
switch on the board.
In this condition no pulses are coming from the
TEA5170 I.C. , T1 is in on state grounding C9 (at
soft start pin of L4981) and so the PFC section is
not working. It is possible to test the voltage at the
output of the step-up (PFC) section C23. It must
be about 308 V (depending on the mains volt-
age). The outputs of the converter should be
measured, and the values can be adjusted with
P1 placed at the primary side.
Here below the schematic diagram is shown in
Fig 2a, PCB and components layout in Fig. 2b.

RL must be dimensioned according to the required output power

On the evaluated board (refer to CON3 in fig.3) As the " stand-by " output values have been set,
the adjusted voltage values are: put the switch in ON position The loads are now
Voltage at out 1 = +16.5V connected and all the circuits of the application
run. The TEA5170 is now supplied and it sends
Voltage at out 3 = -16.5V PWM pulses from the secondary to the primary
Voltage at out 4 = +13.7V side of the converter. T2 is turned on, is T1 is cut-
Voltage at out 1 = +15.7V off, thus enabling the L4981A to start. As the
PFC runs, the voltage at the bulk capacitor C23
Voltage at out 1 = +10V reaches 400V.

Efficiency 85% (at Max. output power)
Power Factor 0.998
THD at max. output power: 3.5%
Power Factor in Stand-by Mode: 0.3
