ZXGD3104N8
SYNCHRONOUS MOSFET CONTROLLER IN SO8
Description
Features
The ZXGD3104 is intended to drive MOSFETs configured as ideal
diode replacements. The device is comprised of a differential amplifier
detector stage and high current driver. The detector monitors the
reverse voltage of the MOSFET, such that if the body diode
conduction occurs, a positive voltage is applied to the MOSFET’s Gate
Pin.

Once the positive voltage is applied to the Gate, the MOSFET
switches on. The detector’s output voltage is then proportional to the
MOSFET Drain-Source voltage, and this is applied to the Gate via the
driver. This action provides a rapid MOSFET turn-off at zero Drain
current.

Application Information
Descriptions of the Normal Operation
The operation of the controller is described step-by-step with reference to the timing diagram in Figure 1.
1. The controller monitors the MOSFET Drain-Source voltage.
2. When the MOSFET body diode is forced to conduct, due to transformer action, there is approximately -0.8V on the Drain Pin.
3. The detector outputs a positive voltage with respect to Ground, this voltage is then fed to the MOSFET driver stage and current is sourced
out of the Gate Pin.
4. The controller goes into proportional gate drive control – the Gate output voltage is proportional to the on-resistance-induced Drain-Source
voltage drop across the MOSFET. Proportional gate drive ensures that MOSFET conducts for majority of the conduction cycle and
minimizes body diode conduction time.
5. As the Drain current decays linearly toward zero, proportional gate drive control reduces the Gate voltage so the MOSFET can be turned off
rapidly at zero current crossing. The Gate voltage is removed when the Drain-Source voltage crosses the detection threshold voltage to
minimize reverse current flow.
6. At zero Drain current, the controller Gate output voltage is pulled low to VG(off) to ensure that the MOSFET is turned off.

Application Information (Continued)
The purpose of the ZXGD3104 is to drive a MOSFET as a low VF Schottky diode replacement in offline power converters. When combined with a
low RDS(ON) MOSFET, it can yield significant power efficiency improvement, while maintaining design simplicity and incurring minimal component
count. Figure 2 shows the typical configuration of ZXGD3104 for synchronous rectification in a 19V output flyback adaptor.

Design Considerations
It is advisable to decouple the ZXGD3104 closely to VCC and ground due to the possibility of high peak gate currents with a 1μF X7R type ceramic
capacitor C1 as shown in Figure 2. Also the Ground return loop should be as short as possible.
To minimize parasitic inductance-induced premature turn-off of the synchronous controller, always keep the PCB track length between
ZXGD3104’s Drain input and the MOSFET’s Drain to less than 10mm. Low internal inductance SMD MOSFET packages are also recommended
for high switching frequency power conversion to minimize MOSFET body diode conduction loss.
The Gate Pins should be as close to the MOSFET’s gate as possible. External gate resistors are optional. They can be inserted to control the rise
and fall time which may help with EMI issues.
The careful selection of external resistors RREF and RBIAS is important to the optimum device operation. Select a value for resistor RREF and RBIAS
from Table 1 based on the desired VCC value. This provides the typical ZXGD3104’s detection threshold voltage of -10mV.
