NCP4308 Synchronous Rectifier Controller The NCP4308 is a synchronous rectifier controller for switch mode power supplies. The controller enables high efficiency designs for flyback, quasi resonant flyback and LLC topologies. Externally adjustable minimum off-time and on-time blanking periods provides flexibility to drive various MOSFET package types and PCB layout. A reliable and noise less operation of the SR system is insured due to the Self Synchronization feature. The NCP4308 also utilizes Kelvin connection of the driver to the MOSFET to achieve high efficiency operation at full load. The precise turn-off threshold, extremely low turn-off delay time and high sink current capability of the driver allow the maximum synchronous rectification MOSFET conduction time. The high accuracy driver and 5 V gate clamp make it ideally suited for directly driving GaN devices.

If needed, blanking periods can be modulated using additional components. An extremely fast turn-off comparator, implemented on the current sense pin, allows for NCP4308 implementation in CCM applications without any additional components or external triggering. An output driver features capability to keep SR transistor closed even when there is no supply voltage for NCP4308. SR transistor drain voltage goes up and down during SMPS operation and this is transferred through drain gate capacitance to gate and may turn on transistor. NCP4308 uses this pulsing voltage at SR transistor gate (DRV pin) and uses it internally to provide enough supply to activate internal driver sink transistor. DRV voltage is pulled low (not to zero) thanks to this feature and eliminate the risk of turned on SR transistor before enough VCC is applied to NCP4308. Some IC versions include a MAX_TON circuit that helps a quasi resonant (QR) controller to work in CCM mode when a heavy load is present like in the example of a printer's motor starting up. The NCP4308 is designed to operate either as a standalone IC or as a companion IC to a primary side controller to help achieve efficient synchronous rectification in switch mode power supplies. This controller features a high current gate driver along with high-speed logic circuitry to provide appropriately timed drive signals to a synchronous rectification MOSFET. With its novel architecture, the NCP4308 has enough versatility to keep the synchronous rectification system efficient under any operating mode. The NCP4308 works from an available voltage with range from 4 V (A, D & Q options) or 8 V (B & C options) to 35 V (typical). The wide VCC range allows direct connection to the SMPS output voltage of most adapters such as notebooks, cell phone chargers and LCD TV adapters. Precise turn-off threshold of the current sense comparator together with an accurate offset current source allows the user to adjust for any required turn-off current threshold of the SR MOSFET switch using a single resistor. Compared to other SR controllers that provide turn-off thresholds in the range of -10 mV to -5 mV, the NCP4308 offers a turn-off threshold of 0 mV. When using a low RDS(on) SR (1 mW) MOSFET our competition, with a -10 mV turn off, will turn off with 10 A still flowing through the SR FET, while our 0 mV turn off turns off the FET at 0 A; significantly reducing the turn-off current threshold and improving efficiency. Many of the competitor parts maintain a drain source voltage across the MOSFET causing the SR MOSFET to operate in the linear region to reduce turn-off time. Thanks to the 8 A sink current of the NCP4308 significantly reduces turn off time allowing for a minimal drain source voltage to be utilized and efficiency maximized. To overcome false triggering issues after turn-on and turn-off events, the NCP4308 provides adjustable minimum on-time and off-time blanking periods. Blanking times can be adjusted independently of IC VCC using external Current Sense Input Figure 36 shows the internal connection of the CS circuitry on the current sense input. When the voltage on the secondary winding of the SMPS reverses, the body diode of M1 starts to conduct current and the voltage of M1's drain drops approximately to -1 V. The CS pin sources current of 100 mA that creates a voltage drop on the RSHIFT_CS resistor (resistor is optional, we recommend shorting this resistor). Once the voltage on the CS pin is lower than VTH_CS_ON threshold, M1 is turned-on. Because of parasitic impedances, significant ringing can occur in the application. To overcome false sudden turn-off due to mentioned ringing, the minimum conduction time of the SR MOSFET is activated. Minimum conduction time can be adjusted using the RMIN_TON resistor. www.onsemi.com 14 NCP4308 Figure 36. Current Sensing Circuitry Functionality Figure 37). Therefore the turn-off current depends on MOSFET RDSON. The -0.5 mV threshold provides an optimum switching period usage while keeping enough time margin for the gate turn-off. The RSHIFT_CS resistor provides the designer with the possibility to modify (increase) the actual turn-on and turn-off secondary current thresholds. To ensure proper switching, the min_tOFF timer is reset, when the VDS of the MOSFET rings and falls down past the VTH_CS_RESET. The minimum off-time needs to expire before another drive pulse can be initiated. Minimum off-time timer is started again when VDS rises above VTH_CS_RESET. The SR MOSFET is turned-off as soon as the voltage on the CS pin is higher than VTH_CS_OFF (typically -0.5 mV minus any voltage dropped on the optional RSHIFT_CS). For the same ringing reason, a minimum off-time timer is asserted once the VCS goes above VTH_CS_RESET. The minimum off-time can be externally adjusted using RMIN_TOFF resistor. The minimum off-time generator can be re-triggered by MIN_TOFF reset comparator if some spurious ringing occurs on the CS input after SR MOSFET turn-off event. This feature significantly simplifies SR system implementation in flyback converters. In an LLC converter the SR MOSFET M1 channel conducts while secondary side current is decreasing (refer to www.onsemi.com 15 NCP4308 VDS = VCS ISEC V TH_CS _RESET - (RSHIFT _CS*ICS ) VTH_CS_OFF - (RSHIFT _CS*ICS ) VTH_CS _ON - (RSHIFT _CS*ICS ) VDRV Turn-on delay Turn -off delay Min ON-time tMIN_TON Min t OFF timer was stopped here because of VCS IC is not activated Min OFF- time t MIN_TOFF Complete t MIN_TOFF activates IC t MIN_TOFF is stopped due to VDS drops below VTH_CS_RESET t MIN_TON Min ON-time VDRV VCC VCCON t1 t3 t2 t4 t5 t7 t6 t9 t8 t10 t11 t13 t15 t12 t14 Figure 44. NCP4308 Operation after Start-Up Event Self Synchronization t7 and t8 allowing the IC to activate a driver output after time t8. Self synchronization feature during start-up can be seen at Figure 44. Figure 44 shows how the minimum off-time timer is reset when CS voltage is oscillating through VTH_CS_RESET level. The NCP4308 starts operation at time t1. Internal logic waits for one complete minimum off-time period to expire before the NCP4308 can activate the driver after a start-up event. The minimum off-time timer starts to run at time t1, because VCS is higher than VTH_CS_RESET. The timer is then reset, before its set minimum off-time period expires, at time t2 thanks to CS voltage lower than VTH_CS_RESET threshold. The aforementioned reset situation can be seen again at time t3, t4, t5 and t6. A complete minimum off-time period elapses between times Minimum tON and tOFF Adjustment The NCP4308 offers an adjustable minimum on-time and off-time blanking periods that ease the implementation of a synchronous rectification system in any SMPS topology. These timers avoid false triggering on the CS input after the MOSFET is turned on or off. The adjustment of minimum tON and tOFF periods are done based on an internal timing capacitance and external resistors connected to the GND pin - refer to Figure 45 for a better understanding. www.onsemi.com 20 NCP4308 Figure 45.

The NCP4308 features dedicated anti-ringing protection system that is implemented with a MIN_TOFF blank generator. The minimum off-time one-shot generator is restarted in the case when the CS pin voltage crosses VTH_CS_RESET threshold and MIN_TOFF period is active. The total off-time blanking period is prolonged due to the ringing in the application (refer to Figure 37). Some applications may require adaptive minimum on and off time blanking periods. With NCP4308 it is possible to modulate blanking periods by using an external NPN transistor - refer to Figure 48. The modulation signal can be derived based on the load current, feedback regulator voltage or other application parameter. Figure 48. Possible Connection for MIN_TON and MIN_TOFF Modulation Maximum tON adjustment The Internal connection of the MAX_TON feature is shown in Figure 49. Figure 49 shows a method that allows for a modification of the maximum on-time according to output voltage. At a lower VOUT, caused by hard overload or at startup, the maximum on-time should be longer than at nominal voltage. Resistor RA can be used to modulate maximum on-time according to VOUT or any other parameter. The operational waveforms at heavy load in QR type SMPS are shown in Figure 50. After tMAX_TON time is exceeded, the synchronous switch is turned off and the secondary current is conducted by the diode. Information about turned off SR MOSFET is transferred by the DRV pin through a small pulse transformer to the primary side where it acts on the ZCD detection circuit to allow the primary switch to be turned on. Secondary side current disappears before the primary switch is turned on without a possibility of cross current condition. The NCP4308Q offers an adjustable maximum on-time (like the min_tON and min_tOFF settings shown above) that can be very useful for QR controllers at high loads. Under high load conditions the QR controller can operate in CCM thanks to this feature. The NCP4308Q version has the ability to turn-off the DRV signal to the SR MOSFET before the secondary side current reaches zero. The DRV signal from the NCP4308Q can be fed to the primary side through a pulse transformer (see Figure 4 for detail) to a transistor on the primary side to emulate a ZCD event before an actual ZCD event occurs. This feature helps to keep the minimum switching frequency up so that there is better energy transfer through the transformer (a smaller transformer core can be used). Also another advantage is that the IC controls the SR MOSFET and turns off from secondary side before the primary side is turned on in CCM to ensure no cross conduction. By controlling the SR MOSFET's turn off before the primary side turn off, producing a zero cross conduction operation, this will improve efficiency. www.onsemi.com 22 NCP4308 Figure 49.

Function of MAX_TON Generator in Heavy Load Condition www.onsemi.com 23 NCP4308 Power Dissipation Calculation Therefore, the input capacitance of a MOSFET operating in ZVS mode is given by the parallel combination of the gate to source and gate to drain capacitances (i.e. Ciss capacitance for given gate to source voltage). The total gate charge, Qg_total, of most MOSFETs on the market is defined for hard switching conditions. In order to accurately calculate the driving losses in a SR system, it is necessary to determine the gate charge of the MOSFET for operation specifically in a ZVS system. Some manufacturers define this parameter as Qg_ZVS. Unfortunately, most datasheets do not provide this data. If the Ciss (or Qg_ZVS) parameter is not available then it will need to be measured. Please note that the input capacitance is not linear (as shown Figure 51) and it needs to be characterized for a given gate voltage clamp level. It is important to consider the power dissipation in the MOSFET driver of a SR system. If no external gate resistor is used and the internal gate resistance of the MOSFET is very low, nearly all energy losses related to gate charge are dissipated in the driver. Thus it is necessary to check the SR driver power losses in the target application to avoid over temperature and to optimize efficiency. In SR systems the body diode of the SR MOSFET starts conducting before SR MOSFET is turned-on, because there is some delay from VTH_CS_ON detect to turn-on the driver. On the other hand, the SR MOSFET turn off process always starts before the drain to source voltage rises up significantly. Therefore, the MOSFET switch always operates under Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) conditions when in a synchronous rectification system. The following steps show how to approximately calculate the power dissipation and DIE temperature of the NCP4308 controller. Note that real results can vary due to the effects of the PCB layout on the thermal resistance. Step 2 - Gate Drive Losses Calculation: Gate drive losses are affected by the gate driver clamp voltage. Gate driver clamp voltage selection depends on the type of MOSFET used (threshold voltage versus channel resistance). The total power losses (driving loses and conduction losses) should be considered when selecting the gate driver clamp voltage. Most of today's MOSFETs for SR systems feature low RDS(on) for 5 V VGS voltage. The NCP4308 offers both a 5 V gate clamp and a 10 V gate clamp for those MOSFET that require higher gate to source voltage. The total driving loss can be calculated using the selected gate driver clamp voltage and the input capacitance of the MOSFET: Step 1 - MOSFET Gate-to Source Capacitance: During ZVS operation the gate to drain capacitance does not have a Miller effect like in hard switching systems because the drain to source voltage does not change (or its change is negligible). P DRV_total + V CC @ V CLAMP @ C g_ZVS @ f SW (eq. 9) Where: VCC VCLAMP Cg_ZVS is the NCP4308 supply voltage is the driver clamp voltage is the gate to source capacitance of the MOSFET in ZVS mode fsw is the switching frequency of the target application The total driving power loss won't only be dissipated in the IC, but also in external resistances like the external gate resistor (if used) and the MOSFET internal gate resistance (Figure 50). Because NCP4308 features a clamped driver, it's high side portion can be modeled as a regular driver switch with equivalent resistance and a series voltage source. The low side driver switch resistance does not drop immediately at turn-off, thus it is necessary to use an equivalent value (RDRV_SIN_EQ) for calculations. This method simplifies power losses calculations and still provides acceptable accuracy. Internal driver power dissipation can then be calculated using Equation 10: C iss + C gs ) C gd C rss + C gd C oss + C ds ) C gd Figure 51.

The package thermal resistance is specified in the maximum ratings table for a 35 mm thin copper layer with no extra copper plates on any pin (i.e. just 0.5 mm trace to each pin with standard soldering points are used). The DIE temperature is calculated as: is the NCP4308x driver low side switch equivalent resistance (0.5 W) RDRV_SOURCE_EQ is the NCP4308x driver high side switch equivalent resistance (1.2 W) is the external gate resistor (if used) RG_EXT Rg_int is the internal gate resistance of the MOSFET Step 3 - IC Consumption Calculation: T DIE + P DRV_IC ) P CC @ R qJ-A ) T A In this step, power dissipation related to the internal IC consumption is calculated. This power loss is given by the ICC current and the IC supply voltage. The ICC current depends on switching frequency and also on the selected min tON and tOFF periods because there is current flowing out from the min tON and tOFF pins. The most accurate method for calculating these losses is to measure the ICC current when CDRV = 0 nF and the IC is switching at the target frequency with given MIN_TON and MIN_TOFF adjust resistors. IC consumption losses can be calculated as: P CC + V CC @ I CC Where: PDRV_IC PCC RqJA TA (eq. 11) www.onsemi.com 25 (eq. 12) is the IC driver internal power dissipation is the IC control internal power dissipation is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient is the ambient temperature NCP4308 PRODUCT OPTIONS OPN Package UVLO [V] DRV clamp [V] Pin 5 function NCP4308ADR2G SOIC8 4.5 4.7 NC NCP4308AMTTWG WDFN8 4.5 4.7 NC NCP4308DDR2G SOIC8 4.5 9.5 NC NCP4308DMNTWG DFN8 4.5 9.5 NC NCP4308DMTTWG WDFN8 4.5 9.5 NC NCP4308QDR2G SOIC8 4.5 9.5 MAX_TON Usage LLC, CCM flyback, DCM flyback, QR, QR with primary side CCM control QR with forced CCM from secondary side ORDERING INFORMATION Device NCP4308ADR2G Package Package marking Packing Shipping SOIC8 NCP4308A SOIC-8 (Pb-Free) 2500 /Tape & Reel NCP4308DDR2G NCP4308D NCP4308QDR2G NCP4308Q NCP4308DMNTWG DFN8 4308D DFN-8 (Pb-Free) 4000 /Tape & Reel NCP4308AMTTWG WDFN8 EA WDFN-8 (Pb-Free) 3000 /Tape & Reel NCP4308DMTTWG ED For information on tape and reel specifications, including part orientation and tape sizes, please refer to our Tape and Reel Packaging Specifications Brochure, BRD8011/D. www.onsemi.com 26 NCP4308 PACKAGE DIMENSIONS SOIC-8 NB CASE 751-07 ISSUE AK NOTES: 1.
