SiP11203, SiP11204
Vishay Siliconix
Synchronous Rectifier Driver with Power Up/Down Control,
Output OVP, Error Amplifier and Precision Reference
DESCRIPTION
The SiP11203/SiP11204 provide the secondary side
error amplifier, reference voltage and synchronous
rectifier drivers for isolated converter topologies. Both
ICs are capable of being powered via conventional
bias supplies (output inductor winding or power
transformer winding), or from a pulse transformer
supplying the gate timing signals, and both parts
generate a regulated supply for powering the error
amplifier and control circuitry.
During power-up the SiP11203/SiP11204 ensure that
the synchronous rectifiers are held off until the supply
voltages are adequate to guarantee effective
operation of the driver circuits. During the soft-start
interval, a gradual ramp-up of the synchronous
rectifier conduction time is provided. Both ICs also
allow control of the discharge rate of the synchronous
rectifier driver outputs during power-down.
The SiP11203 and SiP11204 are available in a
Pb-free MLP44-16 package and are rated to handle
the industrial ambient temperature range of - 40 to 85 °C.

DETAILED OPERATION
SUPPLY VOLTAGE (VIN)
The SiP11203/SiP11204 are designed to operate at an
input voltage (VIN) between 5.5 V and 13 V. The
synchronous rectifier drivers (OUTA and OUTB) are
powered directly from VIN, to facilitate setting the gate
drive voltage for the rectifier MOSFETs. Due to the
high peak currents available from the SiP11203/
SiP11204 outputs, careful attention must be paid to the
bypassing of VIN to PGND.
Internal Supply (VL)
In order to provide the internal circuitry of the
SiP11203/SiP11204 with a stable supply voltage (VL),
the SiP11203/SiP11204 incorporate a linear preregulator. Operating from VIN, the pre-regulator
provides a fixed VL of 5 V for use by the majority of the
chip. VL is regulated by VREFINT, and therefore does
not depend upon the voltage at the VREF pin. For
proper IC operation, a bypass capacitor on the order
of 1µF should be connected between VL and GND.
In normal operation, VL is intended to accommodate
the internal light load requirements, such as bias
networks and the sourcing capability of the error
amplifier’s output.
Start-up Considerations
The average pre-regulator output current available to
charge the VL bypass capacitor, and the value of that
capacitor, play an important part in the start-up
sequencing of the SiP11203/SiP11204. Until VL
reaches the Chip Undervoltage Lockout threshold
(CUVLO), the part is held in a low-current standby
state. When VL exceeds the CUVLO voltage of 3.55 V,
the majority of the on-chip circuitry is enabled, with the
exception of the reference voltage buffer and the
output drivers (OUTA and OUTB). Finally, when the
main Undervoltage Lockout threshold (UVLOR) is
reached, which occurs when VL reaches 90 % of its
final value, the VREF buffer and the output drivers are
enabled. This in turn allows the VREF pin to source
current, and the outputs to respond to the INA and INB
inputs. See Figure 4, in the Applications Information
Section.
The I-V characteristic of the pre-regulator approximates
that of a constant current source. With VIN = 7.5 V, the
typical IOUT at the VL pin for voltages between 0 V and
the final regulated voltage of 5 V is 35 mA.
www.vishay.com
6
REFERENCE VOLTAGE (VREF)
The SiP11203/SiP11204 incorporate an internal
voltage reference of 2.5 V. This is scaled and buffered
to drive the VREF pin at 1.225 V. The accuracy of VREF
is ± 1 % at 25 °C, with a temperature coefficient of
± 160 µV/°C, yielding a worst-case accuracy over
temperature of ± 3 % (- 40 °C to + 85 °C).
Start-up and Soft-Start Considerations
VREF is held at 0 V until VL has exceeded its UVLOR
threshold. This allows a soft-start function to be
implemented by controlling the rate of rise of voltage
on the VREF pin, which in turn causes a gradual rise in
the target voltage of the error amplifier and its
associated voltage control loop. See Figure 4, in the
Applications Information Section.
The charging rate (dV/dt) of VREF is user-settable by
choice of VREF bypass capacitor value. The I-V
characteristic of the reference output approximates
that of a constant current source, with the typical IOUT
at the VREF pin for voltages between 0 V and the final
regulated voltage of 1.225 V being 410 µA. See the
graph “VREF Start-up.”
ERROR AMPLIFIER
The error amplifier is biased from the internal 5 V
supply (VL). The input common mode range extends
down to ground and up to 3.5 V. The output stage can
source in excess of 4 mA and can sink 1 mA. The
output stage is comprised of a class-A source follower
working into a 1 mA pull down (current sink), and is
designed to drive light loads such as an optocoupler
and the series resistor. The output source current IOH
is limited by an internal 500  resistor, to protect the
output in the event of a short to GND. When sourcing
current in excess of 1 mA, the voltage drop across this
resistor should be taken into account (see graph of
VOH vs. ILOAD). The 1 MHz amplifier has 75 degrees of
phase margin, and a large signal slew rate is (1 V/µs)
in a unitygain configuration. The input offset voltage is
typically 3 mV at 25 °C, and the offset voltage
temperature coefficient is typically 30 uV/°C. Due to its
CMOS inputs, the amplifier has low input bias and
offset currents. Both amplifier inputs as well as the
output are accessible, to facilitate meeting the
compensation requirements of specific applications.
Note that the error amplifier output is clamped low until
the VL voltage has increased past the CUVLOR
voltage level.

MOSFET RECTIFIER DRIVERS
Start-Up
At converter start-up, VL will typically be at or near 0 V.
Until such time as the UVLOR threshold is exceeded,
the main synchronous rectifier drivers are disabled, as
the supply voltage for the IC may be insufficient to
ensure that the output drivers will fully respond to input
commands.
Without
precautionary
measures,
capacitive coupling between the drains and gates of
the synchronous rectifiers could cause spurious
conduction in the rectifiers. To prevent this, special
hold-off MOSFETs are switched in until the main
drivers are enabled. These internal hold-off
MOSFETs, which connect from OUTA to PGND and
OUTB to PGND, can typically conduct in excess of
400 mA with 1 V on OUTA or OUTB (ZOUT 2.5 ).
Once VL rises above UVLOR, the main drivers are
enabled and the part assumes its normal mode of
operation, with pulses at INA being used to control
OUTA and pulses at INB being used to control OUTB.
Figure 3 and its related text provide additional details
on this topic.
Normal Operation
When enabled, the main driver outputs are noninverting with respect to the input signal. The drivers
are designed to provide the high peak currents
(2 - 4 A) required to rapidly charge and discharge the
gates of large synchronous rectifier MOSFETs, with a
greater turn-off (pull-down) current than turn-on
(pull-up) current, to prevent shoot-through in the
synchronous rectifiers.
Shut-Down
In the typical application circuit, cessation of primary
timing signals at INA and INB would cause both OUTA
and OUTB to be pulled high, which at the system level
would short-circuit of the converter output to ground
via the synchronous rectifiers. To avoid possible
negative effects of such an event, the SiP11203/
SiP11204 uses a missing-pulses detector to monitor
INA and INB and, if necessary, set the main output
drivers to a high-impedance state. At the same time
that the main drivers are disabled, a pull-down device
(current sink) of user-settable value is enabled on each
output, to gradually discharge OUTA and OUTB,
thereby performing a soft turn-off of the rectifier
MOSFETs. The pull-down current is set by the RPD
Document Number: 73868
S11-0975–Rev. C, 16-May-11
resistor,
and
is
given
by
the
formula
IPULL-DOWN = 500 V/RPD. Such an event also causes
bypass capacitor at the the VREF pin to be discharged,
preparing the IC for a voltage-loop soft-start should the
primary resume sending timing signals. Further details
are given in the Applications Information section.
Synchronous Rectifier Phase-In
With a resistor connected between the RDEL pin and
ground, the SiP11203/SiP11204 will increase the lowto-high propagation delay time from INA and INB to
OUTA and OUTB by an amount TDEL. This interval
is proportional to the resistance used, and inversely
proportional to the voltage on VREF (TDEL = k x RDEL/
VREF). As this delay occurs for high-going input
transitions only, it constitutes a hold-off time for the
synchronous rectifiers. As can be seen, TDEL
decreases as VREF ramps from a low level to its final
1.225 V level at start-up, or following any soft-start
event. If TDEL is set to start at a sufficient value to
allow only diode-mode conduction in the rectifier
MOSFETs, the result will be a gentle transition from
diode-mode
operation
to
fully
synchronous
rectification, thereby avoiding a sudden change in the
average voltage drop seen at the output rectifiers.
Conventional operation can be achieved by tying the
RDEL pin to VL. The synchronous rectifier phase-in
function is explained in more detail in the Applications
Information section.
Output Over-voltage Protection: SiP11203 versus
SiP11204
For maximum flexibility in the way that the SiP11203/
SiP11204 parts react to an output over-voltage event,
the input to the over-voltage protect comparator
(OVPIN) is brought out separately from the error
amplifier inputs. Additionally, the outputs of the
SiP11203 and the SiP11204 respond differently to
an over-voltage: the SiP11203 is designed to rapidly
discharge an output bus that is experiencing an overvoltage, while the SiP11204 is designed to avoid
sinking current from other supplies feeding the same
bus, relying instead upon system-level intervention to
provide complete load protection. The OVPIN function
is explained in more detail in the Applications
Information section.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Powering SiP11203/SiP11204
The SiP11203/SiP11204 has an internal pre-regulator
to provide 5 V at VL, which biases many of the internal
sub-circuits. This allows the IC to operate from any
input voltage within the allowable VIN range. At the
same time, VIN provides the supply voltage to the gate
driver outputs (OUTA and OUTB) directly. The gate
drive level to the synchronous rectifier MOSFETs is
determined by VIN
The VIN voltage can be derived using conventional
methods, such as an extra winding on the power
transformer or on the output inductor. Alternatively,
this supply can be derived from the pulse transformer
used to transmit synchronous rectifier timing signals
from the primary to the secondary, as shown in Figure
2 below. The voltage level on VIN will be determined by
the turn ratio of the pulse transformer and the
differential voltage between SRL of the Si9122,
Si9122A, Si9122E and SRH of of the Si9122, Si9122A,
Si9122E. Note that this circuit will cause the voltages
at INA and INB to be twice that of VIN. Therefore it may
be necessary to limit the voltage seen by INA and INB
in order to avoid exceeding their recommended
operating values.

START-UP DRIVER OPERATION
During start-up of the SiP11203/SiP11204, the
MOSFET drivers (OUTA and OUTB) are disabled until
VL is at 90 % of its final value. To fully prevent any
spurious turn-on of the synchronous rectifier
MOSFETs, the gates of the MOSFETs are held off
during this start up period. Until the main drivers are
enabled, the INA and INB drive paths are re-routed, or
“swapped,” inside the IC. In conjunction with a
dedicated n-channel hold-off MOSFET “inverter”
placed in parallel with each main driver, this allows the
IC to ground the appropriate synchronous rectifier gate
at the necessary time. See Figure 3.
If the first two pulses coming through the pulse
transformer are considered, the following sequence of
events follows:
www.vishay.com
8
• INA goes low, which would normally command the
OUTA driver to go low. This would prevent spurious
turn-on of the associated synchronous rectifier.
However, since the voltage to the IC is below its
normal operating level, it cannot be guaranteed that
OUTA can in fact go to its necessary state. For this
reason, the OUTA and OUTB drivers are disabled
while VL < UVLOR.
• When INA goes low, INB will be driven to a level of
2 x VIN. This is due to the way in which the
secondary of the pulse transformer is rectified to
provide VIN. Specifically, this results from the
rectifier diodes clamping the secondary’s negative
excursions one diode drop below ground (See
Figure 2).

• While VL is below the UVLOR threshold, the IC
“swaps” the synchronous rectifier drive paths. This
causes the high-going signal on INB to be applied
to the gate of an n-channel hold-off MOSFET,
which is in parallel with the main OUTA driver. This
MOSFET inverts the signal from INB, which causes
its drain to be pulled towards ground. This holds
OUTA low.
• During the deadtime in which neither INB nor INA is
driven high, the voltage on INA and that on INB will
be equal to the voltage on VIN. Depending upon the
exact value of VIN, this may or may not result in
both OUTA and OUTB being pulled low by their
associated inverter MOSFETs.
• During the next cycle of converter operation, all of
the above applies with the exception that INB is
now driven low, which will cause INA to be driven
high. This will in turn cause the hold-off MOSFET in
parallel with the main OUTB driver to conduct,
thereby holding OUTB low.
In this way, the SiP11203/SiP11204 “swap and invert”
function prevents any unwanted turn-on of the
synchronous rectifiers during start-up. Once VL
reaches 90 % of its final value, the drive path inside the
IC is no longer swapped, and the inverting hold-off
MOSFETs are disabled.

START-UP DRIVER OPERATION
Assuming that VIN rises with suitable rapidity to a
voltage greater than 5.5 V, the factors controlling the
rate of rise of VL are the external VL bypass capacitor
value and the pre-regulator’s current limit. This gives
the following two equations:
• The time from start-up to
CUVLOR  (4.45 V/35 mA) x CVL, and
• The time from start-up to
UVLOR (4.45 V/35 mA) x CVL.
Document Number: 73868
S11-0975–Rev. C, 16-May-11
Once VL has reached 90 % of its final value, the clamp
holding VREF at 0 V is released, allowing the voltage on
the VREF pin to rise at a rate set by the value of the
VREF capacitor. This gives the following equation:
• The time from UVLOR to VREF attaining a voltage of
1.1 V (1.1 V/410 µA) x CVREF.
These relationships are shown in Figure 4.

NORMAL DRIVER OPERATION
In normal operation, OUTA responds to INA, and
OUTB to INB. The signal path from input to output is
non-inverting. The output drivers have high and
deliberately asymmetrical current sink and source
capabilities (4 A ISINK, 2.2 A ISOURCE). The high
currents allow driving large synchronous rectifiers at
the switching frequencies found in modern power
converters. At the same time, the driver asymmetry
enforces a rapid turn-off of the rectifier MOSFETs
relative to their turn-on, to avoid rectifier
crossconduction, and the low driver impedances to
PGND help ensure that the rectifier MOSFETs do not
exhibit unwanted turn-on during converter operation.
As with most logic circuits, OUTA and OUTB do not
exhibit indeterminate output states even the transitions
at INA and INB are excessively slow. The solid and
sharp driving signals from OUTA and OUTB will ensure
the proper function of the rectifier MOSFETs in the
final application circuit.
POWER-DOWN DRIVER OPERATION
If the timing pulses from the primary of the DC-DC
converter cease, the SiP11203/SiP11204 must
assume that the power to the primary of the DC-DC
converter has failed. Upon detecting this condition, the
part must put the main synchronous rectifier drivers
into a “safe” condition, and simultaneously ensure that
the rectifier MOSFETs are turned off. A unique feature
www.vishay.com
10
of the SiP11203/SiP11204 is their ability to turn off the
synchronous rectifiers via a controlled excursion
through their linear region. This can help to prevent
output ringing at turn-off.
A missing-pulses detector is provided on the IC to
initiate the soft power down. This detector, which is
enabled once the VREF pin has reached 1.1 V,
continually monitors INA and INB for lack of switching
activity. An external resistor from RPD to ground
defines a current out of CPD (I = 2.5 V/RPD), which is
used to charge an external capacitor from CPD to
ground. The voltage on CPD is internally compared to
the 2.5 V developed by VREFINT. Whenever either input
goes low, the voltage at CPD is reset to 0 V. However, if
both inputs are high for a period of RPD × CPD, the
voltage at CPD will exceed the 2.5 V comparison
threshold, and the power-down latch will be set (See
Figure 6).
• The VREF pin bypass capacitor is discharged
towards 0 V, to ensure an orderly soft-start cycle
when operation resumes,
• The main drivers are forced into a high-impedance
state,
• Internal pull-downs (current sinks) from the OUTA
and OUTB pins to ground are enabled,
• The pull-down currents on OUTA and OUTB are set
by RPD, to allow a “soft” turn-off of the synchronous
rectifiers.

POWER-DOWN DRIVER OPERATION (CONT’D)
The internal pull-downs ensure that the synchronous
rectifiers are in the off state before the bias supply to
the IC has collapsed (See Figure 5). Since these pulldowns have a lower current-sinking capability than the
main OUTA and OUTB drivers, they can cause the
rectifier MOSFETs to transition from full conduction to
the off state via their linear region of operation. This
soft turn-off allows the use of the gradually increasing
rectifier channel impedances to help damp LC
oscillations that might otherwise occur at the
converter's output. The gate pull-down current value,
and therefore the interval during which the rectifier
MOSFETs are in transition from fully on to fully off, is
programmed by the resistor from RPD to ground. This
current is given by IPULL-DOWN = 200* VREFINT/RPD.
This programmability allows the choice of a gate
discharge time which best accommodates the design
variables of LOUT, COUT, and synchronous rectifier
MOSFET characteristics.
The power-down latch will be reset, and a soft-start
cycle will occur, when the logical and of two conditions
is true:
• The voltage on the VREF capacitor is 20 % (245 mV)
of its nominal 1.225 V, and
• The exclusive-or of INA and INB is true, that is, one
input is in low while the other is high.
Note that low values of RPD will increase the main
supply current. It is recommended that RPD be kept
15 k to prevent excessive power dissipation.

SYNCHRONOUS RECTIFIER PHASE-IN AND
RISING EDGE DELAY
The SiP11203/SiP11204 has the ability to “phase in”
the synchronous rectifiers at start-up. This causes the
rectifier MOSFETs to initially be used as conventional
PN (or Schottky) diodes, then as synchronous
rectifiers for an increasing percentage of each
switching cycle, until finally they are operating
completely as synchronous switches. When this
feature of the IC is used, the resistance RDEL, which is
connected between the RDEL pin and ground,
determines the time required for the transition from
diode-mode
operation
to
fully
synchronous
rectification.
To achieve this phase-in of the synchronous rectifiers,
an internally extended propagation delay (TDEL) is
introduced between the rising edge of each input (INA
or INB) and the rising edge of the corresponding output
(OUTA or OUTB). The length of this delay is
proportional to RDEL and inversely proportional to
VREF: TDEL (1.5 ns x RDEL x 1.225 V)/(1 k x VREF).
Therefore TDEL decreases throughout the interval
during which VREF is rising (i.e., during the time
following converter start-up or a SiP11203/SiP11204
soft-start event). When the phase-in period has ended,
the final high-going propagation delay is TDEL(FINAL) =
Tpdr + TDEL(FINAL) = Tpdr + [(1.5 ns x RDEL)/1 k], as
shown in the typical curves.

SYNCHRONOUS RECTIFIER PHASE-IN AND
RISING EDGE DELAY (CONT’D)
The three modes of operation experienced during
synchronous rectifier phase-in are, in order:
• Some number of converter switching cycles may
occur during which TDEL 2/fCONVERTER. During
this interval, the synchronous rectifiers are held off
for a long enough time that they will act as conven
ional diodes only. This interval of operation will be
some portion of the time it takes for the voltage on
the VREF pin to climb to its final 1.225 V value.
• Some number of converter switching cycles will
occur during which 2/fCONVERTER > TDEL >
TDEL(FINAL). During this interval, the synchronous
rectifiers are held off for a portion of their possible
conduction interval, with that percentage
decreasing in a 1/x fashion from 100 % of their
possible conduction time to a percentage set by
RDEL and fCONVERTER. This interval of operation
will be the remainder of the time it takes for the
voltage on the VREF pin to climb to its final 1.225 V
value.
• When VREF is equal to 1.225 V, normal converter
operation occurs, with the synchronous rectifiers
being held off for a time TDEL(FINAL). This final delay
time can be made equal to the inherent propagation
delay of the IC’s output drivers, as described below.
The synchronous rectifier phase-in is diagrammed in
Figure 7.
Connecting RDEL to VL will completely disable the
synchronous rectifier phase-in circuitry. The rectifier
Rising edge delay reduces during phase-in. Phase-in
period set RDEL
MOSFETs will then transition directly from diode-mode
full synchronous rectifier operation when the IC’s VL
supply exceeds the UVLOR threshold. The residual
rising-edge delay otherwise introduced by RDEL will
also be set to zero. (Note: By examination of the above
equations, grounding the RDEL pin could be another
means of setting TDEL to zero. Doing so is not
recommended in practice as this will cause
unnecessary power dissipation in the IC: the supply
current will increase by 0.15 mA if RDEL is connected
to VL, but by 0.5 mA if this pin is shorted to ground.
Also, due to the internal circuitry of the ICs, the
propagation delay time is reduced by several
nanoseconds when the RDEL pin is connected to VL as
opposed to when it is grounded.)
In some applications it is desirable to make use of the
rectifier phase-in feature while eliminating the residual
TDEL. To achieve this, the appropriate resistance
should be connected from the RDEL pin to ground, and
the RDEL pin should be pulled up to VL using a suitable
op-amp or comparator, such as the LMV321M7, once
the output voltage of the converter approaches its final
value. In such a circuit, VCC for the op-amp or
comparator should be obtained from VL of the
SiP11203/SiP11204.
The phase-in of synchronous rectification helps to
prevent disturbances in the output voltage at start-up,
which could occur due to the differential in output
voltage drop which occurs when the rectifier
MOSFETs make an abrupt transition from operation as
diodes to operation as synchronous rectifiers.

OUTPUT OVER-VOLTAGE PROTECTION
The SiP11203/SiP11204 provide output over-voltage
protection (OVP) by means of a dedicated internal
comparator. One input of the OVP comparator is
brought out to the OVPIN pin, and the other is returned
to an internal reference voltage that is fixed at 120 %
of the 1.225 V VREF value, or 1.47 V. A voltage in
excess of 1.47 V at the OVPIN pin indicates an OVP
fault.
The OVP circuitry operates in two different ways,
depending upon whether the SiP11203/SiP11204 is in
start-up mode, or in normal operation. In this context,
start-up mode is defined as device operation during
that period for which VREF is less than 90 % of its 1.225 V
value, or 1.1 V.
Start-Up Mode:
If the 1.47 V OVP threshold is exceeded during startup, the driver outputs OUTA and OUTB are held low
until the voltage on the VREF pin has exceeded 1.1 V.
The driver outputs are then released to respond to INA
and INB.
Normal Operation Mode:
If the OVP threshold is exceeded, or remains
exceeded, after VREF has reached 1.1 V, the OVP latch
will be set. This will cause the driver outputs to be
Document Number: 73868
S11-0975–Rev. C, 16-May-11
forced high for SiP11203, or forced low for SiP11204.
At the same time, an on-chip transistor will discharge
the bypass capacitor at the VREF pin towards ground.
The OVP latch is reset when the logical and of two
conditions:
• The voltage on the VREF pin must be 20 % (245 mV)
of its nominal 1.225 V level, to ensure an orderly
soft-start cycle when operation resumes, and
• The voltage at the OVPIN pin must be 1.1 V,
indicating that the OVP fault has been cleared.
When the OVP latch is reset, the SiP11203/SiP11204
will release their outputs, and return to normal
operation via a soft-start cycle.
To prevent spurious activation of the over-voltage
function, the over-voltage condition must be present for
five switching instances, where a switching instance is
defined as activity on either INA or INB. On the fifth
switching instance the overvoltage condition is latched.
If the over voltage condition disappears the IC will not
recognize an over-voltage as being present and the
counter will be reset to zero.
Note that the OVPIN threshold voltage is derived from
the internal 2.5 V reference voltage VREFINT, which is
derived from VIN, and therefore is not delayed by the
rise time of either VL or VREF.
