APPLICATION NOTE
This application note describes the common post regulation methods used in power supply design and introduces the CS5101
Secondary Side Post Regulator Control IC. It also shows a detailed design example of a dual output, current mode control,
forward converter using the CS3842A and CS5101 controllers.
Introduction
In Switch Mode Power Supplies (SMPS) a transformer
provides isolation between the primary source and the
secondary load(s). If the SMPS controller is located on the
primary side of the transformer, the feedback voltage from
the secondary is fed back to the primary side through another
isolation barrier, usually an opto coupler.
Tight output regulation is more difficult in multiple output
power supplies. The following are the most popular
techniques.
1.The Linear Regulator, Figure 1, is the simplest and the
most popular for low current (3.0 A) applications.
The major disadvantage of the linear regulator is its
poor efficiency.
2.A Step–Down Buck Regulator, Figure 2, can be used as
a post regulator. Efficiencies up to 90% can be
achieved by using this method. This solution looks
very attractive in the low and medium power range
(3.0 A to 8.0 A). However, several additional high
cost components are required, including, a power
switch, inductor and capacitors.
3.A Magnetic Amplifier Post Regulator, Figure 3, offers
high efficiency and tight regulation for output
currents greater than 5.0 A .
Its drawbacks include: the difficulty in
implementing overcurrent protection, poor regulation
characteristics at light or no load conditions and the
cost of the high frequency (200 kHz) magnetic
amplifier inductor.
4.A Secondary Side Post Regulator (SSPR), Figure 4, uses
a semiconductor switch with either leading edge
(delayed turn–on) or trailing edge (delayed turn–off)
modulation.
An SSPR provides excellent regulation, high
efficiency, high frequency operation, lossless
overcurrent protection and remote ON/OFF control.

SSPR Operation
An SSPR regulator allows the designer to build multiple
output power supplies with each output individually
controlled without any feedback to the primary side.
The SSPR switch is connected in series with the
secondary side rectifier and output inductor.
In a forward converter topology using current mode
control, the primary controller maintains a constant
volt–second product. The primary side current waveforms
for both leading edge and trailing edge operation are shown
in Figure 5. There is a step change in the primary current
when the SSPR turns on, or turns off. Trailing edge
modulation will cause loop instability in current mode
control using peak current sensing. This is not a problem
with voltage mode control regulators. Leading edge
modulation does not have this limitation.

threshold, the output stage is low and the external power
switch (usually an N–FET) is off. The output stage is
disabled until the VCC voltage and VREF are within
specification.
The switching cycle begins when the synchronization
voltage at the SYNC pin exceeds 2.5 V. This synchronization
signal is derived from the voltage on the secondary side of
the transformer. The ramp capacitor connected to the RAMP
pin charges towards 3.5 V. The capacitor voltage is
compared to the buffered control voltage, VC by the PWM
comparator C1. When the ramp capacitor voltage exceeds
the VC voltage, the output of C1 goes high and turns on the
external power switch connected to VG. As C1 goes high it
also sets flip–flop F1 which latches the output. During the
trailing edge of the pulse, the ramp capacitor is discharged.
The output stage turns off only on the trailing edge of the
synchronization pulse when the voltage at the SYNC and
RAMP pins are below the thresholds of comparators C2 and
C4 respectively. G2 resets the flip–flop F1.
The error amplifier, EA, monitors the output voltage and
compares it to an internal 2.0 V reference. The buffer
amplifier inverts the error signal and applies it to the input
of C1.
The current sense amplifier, IS, monitors the output
current. During normal operation the output of IS is high and
the diode is reverse biased. When the overcurrent threshold
is exceeded, the output goes low, the diode is forward biased
and the current sense amplifier sinks current from the error
amplifier. This pulls the error amplifier output low and shuts
off the output stage through G3.
Since all three pins of the differential amplifier are
accessible, high side or low side current sensing is possible.
The circuit is designed so that the current sense amplifier is
guaranteed to sink more current than the error amplifier, EA,
can source.
The external power switch is driven by a grounded
totem–pole output stage. The output stage remains off until
the output of C1 goes high. Since the external power switch
turns off on the trailing edge of the secondary pulse, lossless
turn–off is achieved. If the output controlled by the SSPR is
shut down or disabled while the main output is still
operational, a DC voltage equal to a peak secondary voltage
will build up at the drain of the power switch. The drain pin
VD monitors this voltage and keeps the output stage off,
even if the supply voltage, VCC, disappears. The output
stage remains off as long as any abnormal conditions exist.
If normal operating conditions are restored while there is no
synchronization pulse, the controller will process the next
available pulse. If normal operating conditions are restored
during a pulse, the rest of the pulse is ignored and the
controller will resume the normal operation at the rising
edge of the next pulse.

Connecting the SSPR in a Circuit
The SSPR can be used in a variety of topologies including
both single and dual ended buck or flyback converters
operating with current or voltage mode control.
In each case, usually the N–FET power switch is
connected in series with the forward diode as shown in
Figure 7.
Since the N–FET is connected between two diodes it is
impossible to use a single package center–tap rectifier. The
source voltage of the N–FET changes from the secondary
side peak voltage to approximately –0.7 V (the flyback
diode forward drop) so the user must create a floating gate
drive.
If it is not necessary to have a common ground connection
between all outputs on the secondary side, the inductor can
be connected on the ground side as shown in Figure 8.

In this configuration the source of the N–FET is effectively
a DC voltage, equal to the output voltage VO. This makes the
gate drive circuit for the FET simple and reliable. The VC
and VCC voltages can be derived from the same point.
Because the positive voltage transition across the inductor
is clamped by the output voltage it may be necessary to
generate the SYNC pulse from another secondary output.
There are two ways to generate a negative output voltage.
One way is simply to reverse the ground and output
connections as is shown in Figure 9. The SSPR circuit is
referenced to the negative output.

Figure 12. SSPR with Gate Drive Transformer
Another method is shown in Figure 10. The SSPR gate
drive circuit is referenced to ground. An additional feedback
signal inversion is required in this case.
With dual ended topologies such as a push–pull or bridge,
only one power switch is required to control the output
voltage. The output inductor can be connected in either the
positive or return path. The SSPR should switch at twice the
rate of the primary controller.
For the high power application, when a single package
center–tapped rectifier is required, SSPR power switch can be
driven by the gate drive transformer as shown in Figure 12.

The delay time through the SSPR is typically 300 ns,
leaving enough head room for a good regulation within the
specified voltage range.
Overcurrent Protection
Output current is sensed by the current sense resistor, R19,
in the return path of the output. A voltage divider, comprised
of resistors R16, R17, R20, and R21, is connected to the
current sense amplifier. It is capable of sensing voltages
below ground, up to 0.3 V.
Overcurrent protection is set to: ISCO3 = 25 A; RCS = R19
= 0.1 Ω.
Current sense voltage:
Supply Voltage VCC and VC
The supply voltage is derived directly from the 3.3 V
winding. VCC varies with the input voltage, i.e., VCC = 9.0 V
to 19 V.
VCC is referenced to ground while the gate drive voltage,
VC is bootstrapped and referenced to the source of Q3, i.e.,
VC = 8.0 V to 18 V.
VCS 2.5 0.1 0.25 V
Both dividers are connected to the 5.0 V reference
voltage, provided by the CS5101.
Set current through the dividers to 0.5 mA. The voltage
at IS– pin (inverting input) is set to 2.5 V, so R17 = R20 =
5.11 k.
The values of resistors R16 and R21, connected to IS+
(non–inverting input) are calculated using superposition.
Synchronization Voltage
The synchronization voltage threshold of the CS5101 is
2.5 V. For reliable operation, the voltage at the SYNC pin has
to be higher than 2.5 V at all times during the pulse.
Voltage at SYNC pin:

Since R19 is small, it is ignored.
Since the voltage at the winding is negative during the
reset time, a clamp diode, D9, is placed across R14. A small
capacitor C15, helps to reduce the negative going voltage spike
at the turn–on of the power switch. This spike is due to the
leakage inductance between primary and secondary windings.

Ramp Capacitor
The value of the ramp capacitor is calculated using the
minimum on–time (at high line), and the current from the
internal current source.
Ramp dynamic range:

Substituting R21 = 5.23 kΩ, R16 = 4.75 kΩ.

Performance Results and Waveforms
The complete schematic, component placement and PC
board layout are shown in Figures 22 through 25.
The electrical performance characteristics of the demo
board are shown in Table 1.
The load and line regulation of the 3.3 V output is better
than 0.3%.
Actual waveforms of the demo board are shown in Figures
20 and 21.
1.24 kHz
Crossover frequencies:
fCO1 1.24 10(11.9540) 2.47 kHz
fCO2 1.24 10(17.9740) 3.49 kHz
Because of the interactions between the main loop and the
loop controlled by the SSPR, it is recommended that the
SSPR crossover frequency is at least one decade below the
crossover frequency of the main loop (3.0 kHz, in our case).
A simple single pole compensation is used.
The interaction is especially severe with current mode
control at light load because of the high impedance of the
driving source ref [2].
Techniques to reduce these effects are outlined in ref [4].

In general, voltage mode control with feed forward gives
the best result for this type of application.
