ON NCP4304ADR2G Secondary side synchronous rectification driver for high efficiency smps topology Datasheet

NCP4304A, NCP4304B
Secondary Side
Synchronous Rectification
Driver for High Efficiency
SMPS Topologies
The NCP4304A/B is a full featured controller and driver tailored to
control synchronous rectification circuitry in switch mode power
supplies. Due to its versatility, it can be used in various topologies such
as flyback, forward and Half Bridge Resonant LLC.
The combination of externally adjustable minimum on and off times
helps to fight the ringing induced by the PCB layout and other
parasitic elements. Therefore, a reliable and noise less operation of the
SR system is insured.
The extremely low turn off delay time, high sink current capability
of the driver and automatic package parasitic inductance
compensation system allow to maximize synchronous rectification
MOSFET conduction time that enables further increase of SMPS
efficiency.
Finally, a wide operating VCC range combined with two versions of
driver voltage clamp eases implementation of the SR system in 24 V
output applications.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
General Description
To overcome issues after turn on and off events, the
NCP4304A/B provides adjustable minimum on time and off
time blanking periods. Blanking times can be adjusted
independently of IC VCC using resistors connected to GND.
If needed, blanking periods can be modulated using
additional components.
An ultrafast trigger input helps to implement synchronous
rectification systems in CCM applications (like CCM
flyback or forward). The time delay from trigger input to
driver turn off event is 10 ns (typicaly). Additionally, the
trigger input can be used to disable the IC and activate a low
consumption standby mode. This feature can be used to
decrease standby consumption of an SMPS.
Finally, the NCP4304A/B features a special input that can
be used to automatically compensate for SR MOSFET
parasitic inductance effect. This technique achieves the
maximum available on-time and thus optimizes efficiency
when a MOSFET in standard package (like TO−220 or
TO247) is used. If a SR MOSFET in SMT package with
negligible inductance is used, the compensation input is
connected to GND pin.
The NCP4304A/B is designed to operate either as
a standalone IC or as a companion IC to a primary side
controller to help achieve efficient synchronous
rectification in switch mode power supplies. This controller
features a high current gate driver along with high-speed
logic circuitry to provide appropriately timed drive signals
to a synchronous rectification MOSFET. With its novel
architecture, the NCP4304A/B has enough versatility to
keep the synchronous rectification efficient under any
operating mode.
The NCP4304A/B works from an available bias supply
with voltage range from 10.4 V to 28 V (typical). The wide
VCC range allows direct connection to the SMPS output
voltage of most adapters such as notebook and LCD TV
adapters. As a result, the NCP4304A/B simplifies circuit
operation compared to other devices that require specific
bias power supplies (e.g. 5 V). The high voltage capability
of the VCC is also a unique feature designed to allow
operation for a broader range of applications.
Precise turn off threshold of the current sense comparator
together with accurate offset current source allows the user
to adjust for any required turn off current threshold of the SR
MOSFET switch using a single resistor. Compared to other
SR controllers that provide turn off thresholds in the range
of −10 mV to −5 mV, the NCP4304A/B offers a turn off
threshold of 0 mV that in combination with a low RDS(on) SR
MOSFET significantly reduces the turn off current
threshold and improves efficiency.

The SR MOSFET is turned-off as soon as the voltage on
the CS pin is higher than Vth_cs_off. For the same ringing
reason, a minimum off time timer is asserted once the
turn‐off is detected. The minimum off time can be externally
adjusted using RMIN_TOFF resistor. MOSFET M1 conducts
when the secondary current decreases, therefore the turn-off
time depends on its RDS(on). The 0 mV threshold provides
an optimum switching period usage while keeping enough
time margin for the gate turn off. The RSHIFT_CS resistor
provides the designer with the possibility to modify
(increase) the actual turn-off current threshold.
When the voltage on the secondary winding of the SMPS
reverses, the body diode of M1 starts to conduct current and
the voltage of M1’s drain drops approximately to −1 V. The
CS pin sources current of 100 mA that creates a voltage drop
on the RSHIFT_CS resistor. Once the voltage on the CS pin
is lower than Vth_cs_on threshold, M1 is turned on. Because
of parasitic impedances, significant ringing can occur in the
application. To overcome sudden turn-off due to mentioned
ringing, the minimum conduction time of the SR MOSFET
is activated. Minimum conduction time can be adjusted
using RMIN_TON resistor.

Figure 41. ZCD Comparators Thresholds and Blanking Periods Timing
If using a SR MOSFET in TO−220 package (or other
package which features leads), the parasitic inductance of
the package leads causes a turn-off current threshold
increase. This is because current that flows through the SR
MOSFET has quite high di(t)/dt that induces error voltage
on the SR MOSFET leads inductance. This error voltage,
that is proportional to the secondary current derivative,
shifts the CS input voltage to zero when significant current
still flows through the channel. Zero current threshold is thus
detected when current still flows through the SR MOSFET
channel – please refer to Figure 42 for better understanding.
As a result, the SR MOSFET is turned-off prematurely and
the efficiency of the SMPS is not optimized.
If no RSHIFT_CS resistor is used, the turn-on and turn-off
thresholds are fully given by the CS input specification
(please refer to parametric table). Once non-zero
RSHIFT_CS resistor is used, both thresholds move down
(i.e. higher MOSFET turn off current) as the CS pin offset
current causes a voltage drop that is equal to:
V RSHIFT_CS + RSHIFT_CS @ I shift_CS
(eq. 1)
Final turn-on and turn-off thresholds can be then calculated
as:
V CS_turn_on + V th_cs_on * ǒRSHIFT_CS @ I shift_CSǓ
(eq. 2)
V CS_turn_off + V th_cs_off * ǒRSHIFT_CS @ I shift_CSǓ
(eq. 3)
Note that RSHIFT_CS impact on turn-on threshold is less
critical compare to turn-off threshold.

current sense comparator thus “sees” between its terminals
a voltage that would be seen on the SR MOSFET channel
resistance in case the lead inductances wouldn’t exist. The
current sense comparator of the NCP4304A/B is thus able to
detect the secondary current zero crossing very precisely.
More over, the secondary current turn-off threshold is then
di(t)/t independent thus the NCP4304A/B allows to increase
operating frequency of the SR system. One should note that
the parasitic resistance of compensation inductance should

and leads resistance otherwise compensation is not efficient.
Typical value of compensation inductance for a TO−220
package is 7 nH. Waveforms from the application with
compensated SR system can be seen in Figure 44. One can
see the conduction time has been significantly increased and
turn-off current reduced.
Figure 44. Waveforms SR System Using MOSFET in TO−220 Package with Parasitic Inductance Compensation –

comparator. Ideally the CS turn-off comparator should
detect voltage that is caused by secondary current directly on
the SR MOSFET channel resistance. Practically this is not
possible because of the bonding wires, leads and soldering.
To assure the best efficiency results, a Kelvin connection of
the SR controller to the power circuitry should be
implemented (i.e. GND pin should be connected to the SR
MOSFET source soldering point and current sense pin
should be connected to the SR MOSFET drain soldering
point). Any impact of PCB parasitic elements on the SR
controller functionality is then avoided. Figures 45 and 46
show examples of SR system layouts using parasitic
inductance compensation (i.e. for low RDS(on) MOSFET in
TO−220 package ) and not using compensation (i.e. for
higher RDS(on) MOSFET in TO−220 package or SMT
package MOSFETs).
Note that using the compensation system is only
beneficial in applications that are using a low RDS(on)
MOSFET in non-SMT package. Using the compensation
method allows for optimized efficiency with a standard
TO−220 package that in turn results in reduced costs, as the
SMT MOSFETs usually require reflow soldering process
and more expensive PCB.
From the above paragraphs and parameter tables it is
evident that turn-off threshold precision is quite critical. If
we consider a SR MOSFET with RDS(on) of 1 mW, the 1 mV
error voltage on the CS pin results in a 1 A turn-off current
threshold difference. Thus the PCB layout is very critical
when implementing the SR system. Note that the CS turn-off
comparator as well as compensation inputs are referred to
the GND pin. Any parasitic impedance (resistive or
inductive − talking about mW and nH values) can cause a
high error voltage that is then evaluated by the CS

Trigger/Disable Input
(above 2.5 V) the driver is disabled immediately, except
during DRV rising edge when TRIG/DIS is blanked for
120 ns. If the trigger signal is high for more than 100 ms the
driver enters standby mode. The IC consumption is reduced
below 100 mA during the standby mode. The device
recovers operation in 10 ms when the trigger voltage is
increased to exit standby mode. TRIG/DIS input is superior
to CS input except blanking period. TRIG/DIS signal
turns-OFF the SR MOSFET or disable its turn-ON if
TRIG/DIS is pulled above VTRIG/DIS.
The NCP4304A/B features an ultrafast trigger input that
exhibits a typically of 10 ns delay from its activation to the
turn-off of the SR MOSFET. The main purpose of this input
is to turn-off the SR MOSFET in applications operating in
CCM mode via a signal coming from the primary side or
direct synchronization SR MOSFET turn-on and turn-off
event according to primary controller signals. The

then the DRV is turned-ON (t7 marker).

The TRIG/DIS input is blanked for 120 ns after DRV set

turn-ON event. The blanking time in combination with high
threshold voltage (2 V) prevent triggering on ringing and
spikes that are present on the TRIG/DIS input pin during the
SR MOSFET turn-on process. DRV response to the short

Advantage of the trigger blanking time during DRV

DRV signal may cause additional spikes on the TRIG/DIS
input. These spikes, in combination with ultra-fast
performance of the trigger logic, could turn-OFF the SR
MOSFET in inappropriate time. Implementation of the

Figure 51 depicts driver turn-OFF events in details. If the
CS (VDS) stays below Vth_cs_off threshold driver is
turned-OFF according to rising edge of the TRIG/DIS
signal. TRIG/DIS can turn-OFF the driver also during
minimum-ON time period (time marker t2 and t3 in
Figure 51).
Figure 52 depicts another driver turn-OFF events in
details. Driver is turned-OFF according to the CS (VDS)
signal (t2 marker) and only after minimum-ON time
elapsed. TRIG/DIS signal needs to be LOW during this
event. If the CS (VDS) voltage reaches Vth_cs_off threshold
before minimum-ON time period ends and TRIG/DIS pin is
LOW the DRV is turned-OFF on the falling edge of the
minimum-ON time period (t4 and t6 time markers in
Figure 52).
Figure 53 depicts performance of the NCP4304A/B
controller when trigger pin is permanently pulled LOW. In
this case the DRV is turned ON and OFF according to the CS
(VDS) signal. The driver can be turned off only after
minimum-ON time period elapsed. The driver is turned-ON
in the time when CS (VDS) reaches Vth_cs_on threshold
(t1−t2, t5–t6, t9–t10 markers). DRV is turned-OFF if CS
(VDS) signal reaches Vth_cs_off threshold (t4 marker). The
DRV ON-time is prolonged till minimum-ON time period
falling edge if the CS (VDS) reaches Vth_cs_off before
minimum-ON time period elapsed (t7−t8, t11−t12 markers).
Figure 54 depicts entering into the sleep mode. If the
TRIG/DIS is pulled up for more than 100 ms the
NCP4304A/B enters low consumption mode. The DRV
stays LOW (disabled) during entering sleep mode.
Figure 55 shows sleep mode transition 2nd case – i.e.
TRIG/DIS rising edge comes during the trigger blank
period.
Figure 56 depicts entering into sleep mode and wake-up
sequence.
Figures 57 and 58 show wake-up situations in details. If
the NCP4304A/B is in sleep mode and TRIG/DIS is pulled
LOW NCP4304A/B requires up to 10 ms period to recover
all internal circuitry to normal operation mode. The driver
is then enabled in the next cycle of CS (VDS) signal only.
The DRV stays LOW during waking-up time period.

DRV and VDS is under Vth_cs_on threshold voltage so DRV
turns ON in time t6. TRIG/DIS signal rises up to HIGH level
in time t7, consequently DRV turns OFF and this starts
minimum OFF time generator. Because minimum OFF time
period is longer then the rest of time to the end of cycle of
VDS − DRV is disabled.

features two pulses during one cycle of the VDS (CS) signal.

transformer can be for instance prepared on a small toroidal
ferrite core with diameter of 8 mm. Proper safety insulation
between primary and secondary sides can be easily assured
by using triple insulated wire for one or even both windings.
The primary MOSFET gate voltage rising edge is delayed
by external circuitry consisting of transistors Q1, Q2 and
surrounding components. The primary MOSFET is thus
turned-on with a slight delay so that the secondary controller
turns-off the SR MOSFET by trigger signal prior to the
primary switching. This method reduces the commutation
losses and the SR MOSFET drain voltage spike, which
results in improved efficiency.
It is also possible to use capacitive coupling (use
additional capacitor with safety insulation) between the
primary and secondary to transmit the trigger signal. We do
not recommend this technique as the parasitic capacitive
currents between primary and secondary may affect the
trigger signal and thus overall system functionality.
Note that the TRIG/DIS input is an ultrafast input that is
sensitive even to very narrow voltage pulses. Thus it is wise
to keep this input on a low impedance path and provide it
with a clean triggering signal in the time this input is enabled
by internal logic.
A typical application schematic of a CCM flyback
converter with the NCP4304A/B driver can be seen in
Figure 60. In this application the trigger signal is taken
directly from the flyback controller driver output and
transmitted to the secondary side by pulse transformer TR2.
Because the TRIG/DIS input is edge sensitive, it is not
necessary to transmit the entire primary driver pulse to the
secondary. The coupling capacitor C5 is used to allow pulse
transformer core reset and also to prepare a needle pulse
(a pulse with width lower than 100 ns) to be transmitted to
the NCP4304A/B TRIG/DIS input. The advantage of needle
trigger pulse usage is that the required volt-second product
of the pulse transformer is very low and that allows the
designer to use very small and cheap magnetics. The trigger

In LLC applications with a very wide operating frequency
range it is necessary to have very short minimum on time and
off time periods in order to reach the required maximum
operating frequency. However, when a LLC converter
operates under low frequency, the minimum off time period
may then be too short. To overcome possible issues with the
LLC operating under low line and light load conditions, one
can prolong the minimum off time blanking period by using
resistors RDRAIN1 and RDRAIN2 connected from the
opposite SR MOSFET drain – refer to Figure 65.

off process always starts before the drain to source voltage
rises up significantly. Therefore, the MOSFET switch
always operates under Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS)
conditions when implemented in a synchronous
rectification system.
The following steps show how to approximately calculate
the power dissipation and DIE temperature of the
NCP4304A/B controller. Note that real results can vary due
to the effects of the PCB layout on the thermal resistance.
Power Dissipation Calculation
It is important to consider the power dissipation in the
MOSFET driver of a SR system. If no external gate resistor
is used and the internal gate resistance of the MOSFET is
very low, nearly all energy losses related to gate charge are
dissipated in the driver. Thus it is necessary to check the SR
driver power losses in the target application to avoid over
temperature and to optimize efficiency.
In SR systems the body diode of the SR MOSFET starts
conducting before turn on because the Vth_cs_on threshold
level is below 0 V. On the other hand, the SR MOSFET turn
Step 1 – MOSFET Gate-to-Source Capacitance:
During ZVS operation the gate to drain capacitance does
not have a Miller effect like in hard switching systems
because the drain to source voltage is close to zero and its
change is negligible.

Gate-to-Source or Drain-to-Source Voltage (V)
Figure 66. Typical MOSFET Capacitance Dependency on VDS and VGS Voltage
Therefore, the input capacitance of a MOSFET operating
in ZVS mode is given by the parallel combination of the gate
to source and gate to drain capacitances (i.e. Ciss capacitance
for given gate to source voltage). The total gate charge,
Qg_total, of most MOSFETs on the market is defined for hard
switching conditions. In order to accurately calculate the
driving losses in a SR system, it is necessary to determine the
gate charge of the MOSFET for operation specifically in a
ZVS system. Some manufacturers define this parameter as
Qg_ZVS. Unfortunately, most datasheets do not provide this
data. If the Ciss (or Qg_ZVS) parameter is not available then
it will need to be measured. Please note that the input
capacitance is not linear (as shown Figure 66) and it needs
to be characterized for a given gate voltage clamp level.
The total driving loss can be calculated using the selected
gate driver clamp voltage and the input capacitance of the
MOSFET:
P DRV_total + V CC @ V clamp @ C g_ZVS @ f SW
Where:

Cg_ZVS

is the supply voltage
is the driver clamp voltage
is the gate to source capacitance of the
MOSFET in ZVS mode
is the switching frequency of the target
application
The total driving power loss won’t only be dissipated in
the IC, but also in external resistances like the external gate
resistor (if used) and the MOSFET internal gate resistance
(Figure 67). Because NCP4304A/B features a clamped
driver, it’s high side portion can be modeled as a regular
driver switch with equivalent resistance and a series voltage
source. The low side driver switch resistance does not drop
immediately at turn-off, thus it is necessary to use an
equivalent value (Rdrv_low_eq) for calculations. This method
simplifies power losses calculations and still provides
acceptable accuracy. Internal driver power dissipation can
then be calculated using Equation 7:
Step 2 – Gate Drive Losses Calculation:
Gate drive losses are affected by the gate driver clamp
voltage. Gate driver clamp voltage selection depends on the
type of MOSFET used (threshold voltage versus channel
resistance). The total power losses (driving loses and
conduction losses) should be considered when selecting the
gate driver clamp voltage. Most of today’s MOSFETs for SR
systems feature low RDS(on) for 5 V VGS voltage and thus it
is beneficial to use the B version. However, there is still a big
group of MOSFETs on the market that require higher gate
to source voltage − in this case the A version should be used.

The die temperature can be calculated now that the total
internal power losses have been determined (driver losses
plus internal IC consumption losses). The SO−8 package
thermal resistance is specified in the maximum ratings table
for a 35 mm thin copper layer with no extra copper plates on
any pin (i.e. just 0.5 mm trace to each pin with standard
soldering points are used).
The die temperature is calculated as:
Step 3 – IC Consumption Calculation:
T DIE + ǒP DRV_IC ) P ICCǓ @ R qJA ) T A
In this step, power dissipation related to the internal IC
consumption is calculated. This power loss is given by the
ICC current and the IC supply voltage. The ICC current
depends on switching frequency and also on the selected
ton_min and toff_min periods because there is current flowing
out from the MIN_TON and MIN_TOFF pins. The most
accurate method for calculating these losses is to measure
the ICC current when CDRV = 0 nF and the IC is switching
at the target frequency with given ton_min and toff_min adjust
resistors. Refer also to Figure 68 for typical IC consumption
charts when the driver is not loaded. IC consumption losses
can be calculated as:
