LT8309 Secondary-Side Synchronous Rectifier Driver Features Description Works with DCM and BCM/CrCM Conduction Mode Flyback Topologies n V : 4.5V to 40V CC n Supports Up to 150V MOSFETs n 26ns Turn-Off Propagation Delay n Accurate Minimum On and Off Timers for Reliable Operation n Adjustable and Accurate Trip Point: +5mV to –30mV n1Ω Gate Driver Pull-Down n SOT-23 5-Lead Package The LT®8309 is a secondary-side synchronous rectifier driver that replaces the output rectifier diode in a flyback topology. By replacing the diode with a N-channel MOSFET, applications are no longer restricted by the heat constraints of the output diode. The IC replicates the behavior of a diode by sensing the drain-to-source voltage to determine when the current becomes negative. The LT8309's low minimum on- and off-times help improve noise immunity. n The fast propagation delay of 26ns allows applications to operate in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) and critical conduction mode (CrCM). The gate driver features a 0.8Ω pull-down device for fast turn-offs. The 40V VCC rating allows the part to be driven from the output voltage or the rectified drain voltage of the MOSFET. A low quiescent current of 400µA maximizes efficiency at low output currents.

Switches between INTVCC and GND. Driven to GND during undervoltage lockout of INTVCC. VCC (Pin 4): Input Voltage. This pin supplies current to the internal start-up circuitry and to the INTVCC LDO. This pin must be locally bypassed with a capacitor. GND (Pin 2): Ground. DRAIN (Pin 5): Current Sense Pin. This pin senses the voltage across the drain-to-source of the external N-channel MOSFET. A series resistor is needed to set the offset voltage and needs to be at least 800Ω. The offset is equal to: INTVCC (Pin 3): Regulated Supply for Internal Loads, and GATE Driver. Supplied from VCC and regulates to 7V (typical). INTVCC must be bypassed with a 4.7µF capacitor placed close to the pin.

Existing solutions use a pulse signal from the primary side to control the synchronous rectifier, but the LT8309 senses the drain-source voltage of the MOSFET to control the synchronous rectifier. This technique not only eliminates a transformer, but allows it to work with Linear Technology’s line of no-opto critical conduction flyback converters. Synchronous rectification improves efficiency and more importantly increases the maximum output current when compared to nonsynchronous designs. The LT8309 imitates the behavior of a diode but replaces the forward voltage with the RDS(ON) of an external N-channel MOSFET. The LT8309 includes an LDO, a very fast comparator and a powerful gate driver. An external resistor connects the part’s DRAIN pin to the drain of the MOSFET. This resistor sets the trip point of the comparator with a precise internal current source. To set the trip point to –10mV, a 3000Ω resistor is needed. The trip point decreases by 1mV for every 100Ω added to this drain resistor. This trip point will be referred to as VOFFSET. Figure 1 shows the drain waveform on top and the gate waveform on the bottom. The gate node goes high when the drain node goes 74mV below the VOFFSET. The comparator’s output is ignored for a minimum on-time to eliminate the chance that ringing triggers the comparator. After the minimum on-time, the comparator is ready to trigger at the VOFFSET voltage. Once the drain voltage goes above VOFFSET, the gate turns off after a very fast propagation delay, t D(OFF). The body diode begins to conduct again before the current reaches 0A. The drain voltage needs to go above 1.21V and then wait for the minimum off-time before the comparator is re-enabled.

Drain and Gate Waveforms 8309fa For more information www.linear.com/LT8309 7 LT8309 Operation Undervoltage Lockout Setting the DRAIN Pin Resistor The part features a INTVCC undervoltage lockout (UVLO) to prevent switching until the INTVCC voltage is above 4V. The DRAIN pin resistor sets when the LT8309 turns off the MOSFET. The trip point, VOFFSET, is set with the following equation: INTVCC LDO VOFFSET = 20mV – 10µA • RDRAIN An internal LDO regulator provides a regulated 7V output from the VIN pin to the INTVCC pin. An output capacitor is needed to provide the current needed for the gate driver. A 4.7µF capacitor is recommended and must be placed as close as possible to the INTVCC pin. The current limit for the LDO is 42mA. RDRAIN is the resistor connected between the drain of the MOSFET and the DRAIN pin of the part. RDRAIN needs to be at least 800Ω to operate correctly. For most applications, VOFFSET should be set at –5mV. High RDS(ON) MOSFETs may require a more negative VOFFSET voltage to keep the drain-to-source current from reversing. If the current is reversing, decrease VOFFSET in 5mV steps to eliminate the cross-conduction. MOSFET Selection A MOSFET’s RDS(ON) is important to the operation of the LT8309. The drain-source voltage is used to determine when to turn off the MOSFET. The peak current through the MOSFET times the MOSFET’s RDS(ON) should be above 75mV. When this voltage is too low, the high speed comparator may trip early due to ringing on the DRAIN pin. When this voltage is too high, the MOSFET dissipates a large amount of power which causes efficiency to go down and may cause thermal issues with the MOSFET. Short-Circuit Operation In the Typical Application diagram on Page 1, the VCC pin is connected to the output of the flyback converter. During an output short-circuit condition, the LT8309 is off and the body diode of the MOSFET must handle the short-circuit condition. This puts additional thermal requirements on the MOSFET. The drain voltage of the MOSFET is equal to VIN / N in short-circuit and capable of powering the LT8309 with the circuit in Figure 2. This allows the LT8309 VIN VOUT • • VCC DRAIN LT8309 GATE INTVCC GND 8309 F02 Figure 2. Short-Circuit Application Circuit 8 8309fa For more information www.linear.com/LT8309 LT8309 Operation to operate during a short, and the current will flow through the low resistance channel of the MOSFET instead of its body diode. Make sure to use a resistor in series with the diode to keep VCC below 40V. Layout Considerations The main current loop is the MOSFETs drain-to-source current. This should not share the same ground path as the LT8309. The drain resistor needs to sense directly at the drain of the MOSFET and not have any current of the drain current flow through its metal trace. The drain node of the MOSFET is used as the heat sink and will need to be sized according to the power dissipation requirements. Figure 3 is an example layout of the LT8309. Effects of the Body Diode When the discontinuous ring voltage goes below ground, the body diode of the primary-side MOSFET turns on and begins to conduct current. This diode clamps the voltage Figure 3. Demo Board Topside Silkscreen to a diode drop below ground. When the current reverses direction, the diode does not turn off immediately, and conducts current in the opposite direction for a small period of time. This is known as the reverse-recovery time. During this time, the magnetizing inductance of the transformer stores energy just like it does when the MOSFET turns on. When the primary-side body diode finally turns off, the energy is transferred to the secondary side and may be enough to turn on the body diode of the secondary MOSFET. Then, the LT8309 turns on its MOSFET for a second time. Since this happens during the discontinuous ring, the primary side may turn on during this time and cause cross conduction. If this problem does occur, one way to improve the reverse-recovery time of the primary side’s MOSFET is to add a parallel Schottky diode, which will conduct most of the current and turn off much faster than the body diode. Another way of eliminating this issue is by sizing the turns ratio so that the discontinuous ring never goes below ground. Figure 4.
