Power Stage Reference Design for Power Stealing Thermostat

Description

TIDA-01574 is a reference design for high-efficiency power stealing for smart thermostats and other building automation equipment. In general: power stealing enables to extend battery life of Wi-Fi enabled smart thermostats by drawing power from 24-V AC when the HVAC load is off. This power-stealing design provides smooth and highly-efficient way to steal power from 24-V AC without interrupting the operation of HVAC load. In this design: TPS2662 - 60V eFuse provides accurate current-limiting and over-voltage protection to enable highly-efficient power stealing.
