STSR2P/ STSR2PM FORWARD SYNCHRONOUS RECTIFIERS SMART DRIVER ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ SUPPLY VOLTAGE RANGE: 4.5V TO 5.5V TYPICAL PEAK OUTPUT CURRENT: SOURCE -2A, SINK 3.5A OPERATING FREQUENCY: 20 TO 750 KHZ SMART TURN-OFF ANTICIPATION TIMING OPERATION INDEPENDENT FROM THE FORWARD MAGNETIC RESET TECHNIQUE POSSIBILITY TO OPERATE IN DISCONTINUOUS MODE SO-8 anticipation in turning-off the OUT GATE1 with respect to the clock signal transition is provided, while the anticipation in turning off the OUTGATE2 can be set through external components. The adopted transitions revelation mechanism makes circuit operation independent by the forward magnetic reset technique used, avoiding most of the common problems inherent in self-driven synchronous rectifiers. A special Inhibit function allows the shut-off of OUTGATE2. This feature makes discontinuous conduction mode possible and prevents the freewheeling mosfet from sinking current from the output. STSR2P automatically turns off the outputs when duty-cycle is lower than 13%, while STSR2PM works even at very low duty-cycle values. DESCRIPTION STSR2P Smart Driver IC provides two complementary high current outputs to drive Power Mosfets. The IC is dedicated to properly drive secondary Synchronous Rectifiers in medium power, low output voltage, high efficiency Forward Converters. From a synchronizing clock input, STSR2P generates two driving signals with the self-setting of dead time between complementary pulses. The IC operation prevents secondary side shoot-through conditions providing proper timing at the outputs turn-off transition. This smart function operates through a fast cycle-after-cycle control logic mechanism based on an internal high frequency oscillator, synchronized by the clock signal.

Anticipation (tANT1) in turning off OUTGATE1 is provided when the clock input goes to low level. The supply voltage range from 4.5V to 5.5V allows applications with logic gate threshold mosfets. UVLO feature guarantees proper start-up while it avoids undesirable driving during eventual dropping of the supply voltage. The voltage on this pin sets the anticipation (tANT1) in turning off the OUTGATE2. It is possible to choose among three different anticipation times by discrete partitioning of the supply voltage. This input provides synchronization for IC’s operations, being the transitions between the two output conditions based on a positive threshold, equal for the two slopes. A smart internal control logic mechanism using a 15MHz internal oscillator generates proper anticipation timing at the turn-off of each output. This feature allows safe turn-off of Synchronous Rectifiers avoiding any eventual shoot-through situation on secondary side at both transitions. Smart clock revelation mechanism makes these operations independent by false triggering pulses generated in light load conditions and by particular demagnetization techniques.Absolute maximum voltage rating of the pin can be exceeded limiting the current flowing into the pin to 10mA max. This input enables OUTGATE2 to work when its voltage is lower than the negative threshold voltage (VINHIBIT<VH). If VINHIBIT>VH the OUTGATE2 will be high for a minimum conduction time (tON(GATE2)). In typical forward converter application, it is possible to turn off the freewheeling MOSFET when the current through it tends to reverse, allowing discontinuous conduction mode and providing protection to the converter from eventual sinking current from the load.Absolute maximum voltage rating of the pin can be exceeded limiting the current flowing into the pin to 10mA max. Reference for all the control logic signals. This pin is completely separated from the PWRGND to prevent eventual disturbances to affect the control logic. Gate Drive signal for Freewheeling MOSFET. Anticipation [tANT2] in turning off OUTGATE2 is provided when the clock input goes to high level. Reference for power signals, this pin carries the full peak currents for the two outputs. 3/12 STSR2P/STSR2PM ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS (VCC=5V, CK= 250kHz, VINHIBIT =-200mV, TJ =-40 to 125°C, unless otherwise specified.)

At 36V input, the voltage on the secondary winding is 36/4.5=8V. Choosing R3=1.5KΩ, R4 results to be: V CK × R 3 2.8V × ( 1.5 kΩ ) R 4 ≥ ---------------------------------------------------------------- = 1k Ω × -------------------------------------------------------------------------- = 862 Ω 8 V – 220µA × 1.5 kΩ – 2.8V V IN – I CK ( 2.8 ) × R 3 – V CK R4=1kΩ is chosen. At 72V input the current at CK pin is calculated as: V IN ( max ) – V CC – 0.3 16 – 5 – 0.3 I CK = ----------------------------------------------------- = ------------------------------ = 7.13mA R3 1.5kΩ This value is below the maximum allowable current flowing into the CK pin (10mA). If the 10mA value is exceeded an external diode connected to VCC must be added (D3). R1 and R 2 values set the anticipation time for OUTGATE2. For R1=∞ and R2=0, tANT2=75ns; for R1=R 2=10kΩ, tANT2=150ns; for R 1=0 and R2=∞, tANT2=225ns. The RC group composed by R5 and the parasitic capacitance of Inhibit pin (typically 5pF) delays the signal on Inhibit comparator. This delay must be lower than 200ns. This condition imposes a maximum value for R5 of about 20kΩ. In general a suggested value for R5 is 10kΩ. At 72V input, the secondary voltage is 16V, so the maximum current flowing into Inhibit pin is 16V/10kΩ=1.6mA which is below the maximum allowable current for the pin (10mA). If the 10mA value is exceeded an external diode (D2) connected to VCC must be added. The maximum negative voltage of –0.6V must be guaranteed for the Inhibit pin. If this negative voltage is exceeded the current must be limited to 50mA. If necessary, a diode (D1) connected to SGLGND can be added to satisfy this specification.
