TDA16846 is a key component in switching power supply circuits. Its pin functions are as follows:

Pin 1: An RC network is connected in parallel with this pin to ground, which helps determine the loop turn-off time and the operating frequency in standby mode.

Pin 2: A capacitor is connected in parallel with this pin to ground. It is also connected to the primary winding of the switching transformer and the drain of the switching transistor through a resistor. The resistor value affects the maximum output power of the system.

Pin 3: This pin serves as an input for the error voltage amplifier and is used for zero-crossing detection. When the input pulse exceeds 5V, it reduces the control voltage at Pin 4.

Pin 4: This is the control voltage pin, connected to ground via a capacitor. The capacitor’s capacity determines the soft start duration and control speed of the power supply.

Pin 5: If a photodiode sampling circuit is used, the output of the optocoupler is connected between this pin and ground. This allows for feedback and voltage regulation.

Pin 6: This pin is the fault comparator input. If the voltage exceeds 1.2V, the power supply stops, acting as a protection mechanism. If not used, it can be grounded.

Pin 7: This is the working mode selection pin. For fixed frequency operation, an RC network is connected between this pin and ground. For synchronous mode, a sync pulse is applied.

Pin 8: This pin is unused.

Pin 9: This is the reference voltage pin, providing a stable 5V output.

Pin 10: If the voltage exceeds 1.2V, the system enters protection mode.

Pin 11: This pin detects the primary voltage of the switching transformer. When the divided voltage drops below 1V, the power supply turns off.

Pin 12: This pin is grounded.

Pin 13: This is the drive output terminal, connected to the gate of the switching transistor through a series resistor.

Pin 14: This pin connects to the power supply voltage and the starting capacitor. During startup, the power supply voltage is generated by the control winding of the switching transformer, after rectification and filtering.

The TDA16846 is widely used in TCL color TVs due to its advanced features. It includes an independent oscillating circuit with options for fixed, adjustable, or synchronized frequencies. It also offers multiple protection functions such as overcurrent and overvoltage protection, along with two voltage regulator inputs and two fault detection terminals.

Starting Oscillation Principle

When the power switch S801 is turned on, the AC voltage is rectified by D801-D804 and filtered by C809 (220u/400V) to produce around 300V DC. This voltage passes through the primary winding of the switching transformer T801, turning on Q801. The start resistor R807 steps down the voltage, which charges the capacitor C816 connected to pin 14 of IC801. After about 1.5 minutes, when the voltage reaches 16V, the internal circuit of IC801 starts, and the drive pulse is output from pin 13. This pulse controls the switching transistor, allowing the primary winding to generate a gradually increasing current. The induced voltage from the secondary winding is rectified and filtered, then fed back to pin 14 to maintain the power supply. At the same time, pin 2 is controlled to pull the voltage below 2.0V.

Soft Start Circuit

To prevent damage to the switching transistor during startup, the TDA16846 includes a soft start circuit composed of pin 4 and an external capacitor C817. When power is first applied, the capacitor is charged through pin 4, causing the voltage to rise slowly. This gradual increase controls the on-time of the switching transistor, allowing the secondary output voltage to rise smoothly and preventing overcurrent or breakdown.

Troubleshooting Examples

[Example 1] A user reported a burnt smell and slight "click" sound in a model 2111D TV. Upon inspection, C809 was found to be cracked and leaking. Replacing the capacitor resolved the issue.

[Example 2] A model 2111D TV had no power, only a "吱" sound. The fuse F801 was blown, and the switch Q801 was shorted. After replacing the components and checking the load, the TV worked properly.

[Example 3] Increasing the startup resistance caused BUZ91 to burn out. This happened because the increased resistance slowed the charging of C815, leading to longer conduction times and exceeding the rated current.

[Example 4] In a model AT2590UBD, the 14-pin voltage was low. Replacing the leaking capacitor C818 restored normal operation.

[Example 5] A model 2911D had no line excitation. Replacing the faulty reverse feedback capacitor C416 fixed the problem.
