STMicroelectronics SEA05 Constant Voltage and Current Controller Datasheet

SEA05 is a highly integrated solution for SMPS applications that require a dual control loop to perform CV (constant voltage) and CC (constant current) regulation. The device integrates a voltage reference, two op-amps (with OR-ed open-drain outputs), and a low- side current sensing circuit. The voltage reference, along with one op-amp, is the core of the voltage control loop; the current sensing circuit and the other op-amp make up the current control loop. The external components needed to complete the two control loops are: a resistor divider that senses the output of the power supply and fixes the voltage regulation setpoint at the specified value; a sense resistor that feeds the current sensing circuit with a voltage proportional to the dc output current; this resistor determines the current regulation setpoint and must be adequately rated in terms of power dissipation; the frequency compensation components (R-C networks) for both loops. The device, housed in one of the smallest available SOT23-6L packages, consumes extremely low power (200µA) and features a voltage reference accuracy of +/- 0.5%, making it suitable for applications such as battery chargers, AC-DC adapters, and LED drivers.

Frequently asked questions

What are the main applications for the SEA05?

The device is suitable for battery chargers, AC-DC adapters, and LED drivers.

What is the typical quiescent current consumption?

The quiescent current is typically 200 µA when the output is open and inputs are zero.

How is the current regulation setpoint determined?

The setpoint is determined by a sense resistor that feeds the current sensing circuit with a voltage proportional to the DC output current.
