AN1341.0
Author: Richard Garcia
Introduction
The ISL6752EVAL1Z board utilizes Intersil’s zero voltage
switching (ZVS) topology. In addition to the ZVS function,
this board also incorporates N-Channel FETs as secondary
side rectifiers, also known as synchronous rectifiers (SR).
Power dissipation of the secondary side rectifiers is reduced
because the conduction losses of SRs can be significantly
less than the conduction losses of PN or Schottky diodes.
Scope
This application note will cover the implementation of
synchronous rectifiers (SRs) and their associated drive
circuits as used on the ISL6752EVAL1Z board. The various
implications of using SRs are covered. The implementation
of the primary side ZVS controller, based on the ISL6752, is
covered extensively in Intersil application note AN1262,
“Designing with the ISL6752, ISL6753 Full-Bridge
Controllers”.
At the end of this application note, the schematic, the bill of
materials and the printed circuit board layout are included for
reference.

Application Note 1341
Primary Side Control
High Voltage Protection
The ISL6752 ZVS controller, U1, is located on the primary
side, eliminating the need for two AC line isolating gate drive
transformers to drive the primary side bridge FETs. Instead,
the low side FETs are driven direcly by MOSFET drivers and
the high side FETs are driven by a gate drive transformer
that only requires operational insulation. Primary side control
also simplifies the design of the current sensing transformers
because they also do not have to be AC line isolating.
Because a failure of the bridge can cause catastrophic
damage to the primary side control elements, a voltage
crowbar, F1 and D3, and a voltage blocking diode, D4, are
incorporated. D3 clamps the bias voltage to a safe level. If
400V is applied to the VDD bias node, F1 opens shortly after
D3 conducts current. D4 provides additional protection by
blocking high voltage from being applied to the 13V lab
supply. Note that a fully debugged power supply does not
need these additional components. These parts are left on
the eval board to minimize damage should the user
accidently introduce a fault while evaluating the circuits. The
designer may want to keep F1 in the final design to prevent a
loud bang should the bridge fail.

ZVS Full Bridge
The low side FETs, Q3 and Q4, are driven directly by
MOSFET drivers, U4. The two high side FETs, Q1 and Q2,
are also driven by a MOSFET driver, U5, but are coupled
with one gate drive transformer, T3, that has complementary
outputs. The design of the gate drive transformer is
simplified because it only needs 400V operational insulation
and it is always driven with a symmetrical square wave.
Q2
The primary side bridge has 2 current sensing transformers
(CT), one on each leg. Using two transformers allows each
CT to reset during alternate half cycles. Alternative methods
of current sensing using only one CT will also be covered.

the secondary side bias voltage to the MOSFET drivers.

Basic SR Principles
Replacing diodes with MOSFETs has two major advantages:
• dramatically reduces conduction losses
• the applied duty cycle remains virtually constant from no
load to full load.
FIGURE 6. SYNCHRONOUS RECTIFIER DRIVE CIRCUIT
Current Doubler Output
and two significant disadvantages:
• additional complexity and cost
The current doubler output is composed of two banks of
SRs, Q107 through Q110 and Q111 through Q114, inductors
L102 and L103, and output filter capacitors, C132 through
C136. The advantage of this topology is that the output
current is shared by the two inductors reducing conduction
losses. Another advantage is that the secondary winding of
the power transformer does not require a center tap
simplifying the construction of the transformer.

• when paralleling units for redundancy, provisions must be
made to prevent current circulation among the units.
SR Drive Timing Requirements
To emulate a diode, an SR must be driven on when a diode
would be normally conducting. But unlike a diode, if the SR
is on, the current through the SR can reverse if the voltage
on the SR “cathode” becomes positive. The consequence of
this is that if the SR is driven on when the primary side is
sourcing voltage to the secondary, the secondary side will be
shorted by the SR.
Figure 9 illustrates the timing required to drive the SRs. Note
the delays to prevent the overlapping of the drive signals.
When an SR is turned off when current is flowing from
source to drain, the current will divert from the FET channel
to the internal body diode. It is desirable to minimize the
period that the current flows through the body diode to
minimize dissipation.
SR Drive and Bias
OUTLLN and OUTLRN in Figure 10 are control signals from
the ISL6752 that are used to drive the SRs. Because the
ISL6752 is located on the primary side, a pulse transformer,
T6 is used to cross the isolation boundary. The simplified
schematic of Figure 10 illustrates the use of T6 to not only
couple OUTLLN and OUTLRN to the secondary, but also to
generate the bias for the drivers on the secondary.

Application Note 1341
When OUTLLN or OUTLRN transition to a logic high, it is
necessary to turn off the SRs quickly. For example, when
OUTLLN is high, V1 is positive relative to ground charging
C125 quickly through CR108. U108 inverts the input and
turns off SR1. In a similar manner, when OUTLLRN is high,
U109 drives SR2 off.
of generating the bias for U108 and U109 in this manner is
that the thresholds for the logic transitions on the inputs of
U108 and U109 are proportional to VBIAS and the voltage to
charge C125 and C124 is also VBIAS. Consequently, the
delays generated by the RC networks are independent of
the absolute value of VBIAS.
When OUTLLN and OUTLRN transition to a logic low, it is
necessary to turn on the SRs after a time delay to prevent
the SRs from shorting the primary side bridge when it is
sourcing current. For example, when OUTLLN transitions to
low, V1 is grounded and CR108 prevents C125 from being
discharged by V1. CR125 discharges instead through R140
delaying the transition of V2 from high to low on the input of
U108. When V2 is low, the output of U108 drives SR1 on. In
a similar manner, the transition of OUTLLRN from high to
low is delayed to drive SR2 on.
Current Doubler
Figure 11 illustrates the current flow in the two inductors of
the current doubler topology. Color coding is used to
correlate the current flow in the circuit with the waveforms.
The green waveform represents the sum of the red and blue
currents through RLOAD. For circuit clarity, the paralleled SRs
and output capacitors of the ISL6752EVAL1Z board are not
shown.
When using diodes (instead of SRs), if the average load
current is less than 1/2 of the ramp current in the output
inductors, the current in the inductors becomes
discontinuous and the duty cycle of the PWM is shortened to
maintain the desired output voltage.
Note that the cathodes of CR108 and CR107 are connected
together to alternately peak charge C123. Because C123 is
large in value, after the initial charging, the voltage does not
change significantly from cycle to cycle. An important aspect

FIGURE 12. INDUCTOR CURRENT WAVEFORMS
When using SRs, the inductor currents in L1 and L2 can
become negative because current can flow in SRs
bidirectionally. Consequently, the duty cycle remains virtually
unchanged. The benefit of this is that the load transient
performance is the same for any load from zero up to current
limit. Another advantage is that for very light loads, the duty
cycle is not reduced to very small duty cycles, pulse skipping
does not occur, and the associated voltage jitter does not
happen.
An important design consideration for the current doubler
topology is that the DC resistance of both halves must be
equal. The pcb layout must be as symmetrical as possible
and the DCRs of the inductors should also be reasonably
equal. If not, the current between the two sides will not split
equally. Because perfect physical pcb symmetry is not
always possible, it is necessary to confirm the current
sharing between the inductors.
5
In Figure 12, the inductor current waveforms are taken from
the ISL6752EVAL1Z board. The balance of currents
between the two inductors was achieved after two board
revisions. Observe how the inductor currents maintain the
same waveform shape even at no load.
Another design consideration when using SRs is the
problem of connecting the outputs of multiple power supplies
in parallel for redundancy or for increased power capacity. A
consequence of negative current flowing in an SR (when a
diode would otherwise be reversed biased and off) is that
power can be transferred from the secondary to the primary
if one of the paralleled outputs has a higher voltage. The
voltage loop of the units with lower set point voltages will
attempt to pull down the voltage by sinking current from the
higher set point units. The primary side bridge capacitor is
charged by the secondary side eventually resulting with
excessive voltage damage. This damage can be avoided by
using or-ing diodes (or FETs) on the paralleled outputs.
Another solution is to turn off the SRs (diode emulation

mode) when the current reverses in the SRs but this
eliminates some of the advantages of using SRs. Paralleling
features are not implemented on the ISL6752EVAL1Z board.
+400V
Current Sensing
Current flowing from the secondary to the primary can result
with an unanticipated malfunction of the current sensing
transformer circuit if reverse SR currents are not considered.
Figure 13 is a commonly used primary side current sensing
circuit utilizing one current sensing transformer (CT).
This circuit works well for peak current mode control if power
is always flowing from primary to secondary, as is the case
when diodes are used instead of SRs. Figure 14 illustrates
the performance of the current sensing output when power
always flows from primary to secondary.
NOT
RECOMMENDED
RS
The voltage across RS is as expected. The vertical dashed
lines show when the power cycle is terminated at the
required peak of the current.
Figure 15 illustrates what happens at no load to the sense
voltage across RS.
Notice that the negative components of the primary
transformer current are rectified resulting with two peaks of
current across RS for each half cycle. Under steady state
conditions, the rectified negative component may cause
erratic performance because the cycle can terminate on the
first peak (the inverted peak as indicated by the vertical red
line) instead of the required second peak. This condition can
easily be corrected by having a small load across the output
to insure that the negative peak is always less than the
positive.
However, a minimum load does not correct a more serious
problem that occurs when there is a large load step from a
heavy load to no load. When the load current is interrupted,
the output capacitor charges higher than the regulated
voltage. As the regulation loop is starting to respond by
slewing to a minimum duty cycle, the excessive voltage on
the output capactior starts to discharge back to the primary.
This results with a large negative current at the beginning of
the duty cycle, which causes the duty cycle to be terminated
very early. The imbalance of the applied volt-seconds to the
power transformer may saturate the power transformer and
damage the power bridge.
Another scenario is that the current sensing transformer
itself may saturate, which will also damage the bridge. The
control loop cannot maintain balanced alternate half cycles
applied to the power transformer without valid current sense
information.
There are two solutions to this problem. Figure 16 illustrates
the placements of two current sensing transformers, one on
each drain leg of the bottom FETs.

Application Note 1341
In this configuration, only positive current flowing into the
drains of the bottom FETs are sensed across RS solving the
problem of rectified negative currents being impressed
across RS. An advantage of using two CTs is that there is a
full half cycle available to reset the cores of the CTs. This is
the solution used in the ISL6752EVAL1Z board.
Figure 17 is the current sense waveform as seen on SP1 of
the ISL6752EVAL1Z board with an output load of 60A.
Figure 18 shows a different current sensing implementation
that also solves the problem of Figure 13.
+400V
In this example, both drain currents of the bottom FETs are
sensed by only one CT. But there are some limitations that
must be considered. To reset the core, the minimum time
available is the duration of the selected dead time between
the two FETs on the same side of the bridge. This dead time
can be made longer to accommodate the resetting of the CT
but the consequences of reducing the maximum duty cycle
available for output voltage regulation must be considered.
If the dead time is kept short, then the peak voltage required
for resetting the core will be relatively large. For example,
assume that the dead time is selected to be 2% of the duty
cycle. The worst case reset voltage is then approximately
shown in Equation 1:
(EQ. 1)
( 0.98 ⁄ 0.02 ) • V SMAX = 49V
where VSMAX is 1V (the current limit voltage of the ISL6752).

Notice in Figure 18 that the 400V RTN is slightly more
negative than the signal ground. This is recommended for
applications that directly drive the bottom FETs with
MOSFET drivers. If the 400V RTN and the MOSFET drivers
are grounded, regenerative feedback will be present on the
output of the MOSFET drivers because of the presence of
the CT windings in the gate drive loop.
A variation of the current sense circuit of Figure 18 is to
place the current sensing transformer in the common drain
lead of the two high side FETs, as shown in Figure 19.

FIGURE 16. PLACEMENT OF TWO CURRENT SENSING

The circuits of Figures 18 and 19 give exactly the same
performance, but the problem associated with the gate
drives (as explained in Figure 18) is avoided. The
disadvantage of placing the CT at this location is that the CT
must be designed with 400VDC operational insulation.

Appendix
The following sections cover the set-up of the
ISL6752EVAL1Z board. Also included are the bill of
materials, schematic, measured waveforms, parameters and
pcb layout.
Connect the DC load to the output of the evaluation board.
Terminal P102 is negative and terminal P104 is positive.
Adjust the load to zero. With both supplies turned off,
connect the 13VDC supply to +13V (P3) and PGND (P4).
Connect the 400V supply to +400V (P1) and 400V RTN (P2).
Turn on the 13V supply and adjust the current limit to
200mA. Adjust the voltage to +13.0VDC. The lab supply
current should be approximately 125mA.
Caution
A voltage clamp, D3, is used to protect the primary
side control circuit from catastrophic damage
should the high voltage bridge fail. In order to
prevent this clamp from conducting, do not adjust
the 13VDC lab supply over 13.5VDC.
Turn on the 400V supply and adjust the current limit to 2.5A.
Adjust the voltage to 400VDC. Do not exceed 450VDC! The
current should be approximately 45mA. Turn on the fan and
direct the air flow through the heatsinks mounted on the
bottom of the board. Using TP120 and TP121, the output
voltage should be 12 ±0.5VDC.
The output load and input voltage can now be safely
adjusted. Because there is no thermal shut down circuit, it is
important to maintain adequate airflow over the heatsinks,
especially when applying large loads.

Waveforms
In Figure 20, the Drain-Source voltage of the low side FETs
is displayed relative to the gate voltage to highlight the ZVS
performance of the bridge. The load is at the rated 50A.
Notice that full ZVS is not achieved because the minimum
resonance voltage is about 160VDC. Even though this not is
an optimum design, 85% of the switching losses are still
recovered. To improve the ZVS performance, a future
version of a ZVS topology evaluation board will use FETs
with less body capacitance to achieve optimum ZVS.
Alternatively, improvements to the ZVS performance can be
made by increasing the leakage inductance of the
transformer or by using saturable inductor snubbers for the
output SRs. For more information, see application note
AN1246, “Techniques to Improve ZVS Full-bridge
Performance.”
