The TEA1995T is the first product of a new generation of Synchronous Rectifier (SR)
controller ICs for switched mode power supplies. It incorporates an adaptive gate drive
method for maximum efficiency at any load.
The TEA1995T is a dedicated controller IC for synchronous rectification on the
secondary side of resonant converters. It has two driver stages for driving the SR
MOSFETs, which rectify the outputs of the central tap secondary transformer windings.
The two gate driver stages have their own sensing inputs and operate independently.
The TEA1995T can also be used in multi-output flyback converters with the SR MOSFET
placed at the low side.
The TEA1995T is fabricated in a Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) process.

When the voltage on the VCC pin exceeds V

UVLO state. The SR MOSFET gate driver outputs are actively kept low. For proper
operation, the VCC pin must be decoupled with an extra capacitor (not only with C
between the VCC pin and the GND pin. To reduce inductance effects because of high
gate driver currents, the extra capacitor must be connected as close as possible to the
IC.

8.3 Drain sense (DSA and DSB pins)
The drain sense pins are input pins capable of handling input voltages up to 100 V.
At positive drain sense voltages, the gate driver is in off-mode with pulled-down gate
driver pins (pins GDA or GDB). At negative drain sense voltages, the IC enables the SR
through sensing the drain source differential voltage.
8.4 Synchronous Rectification (SR; DSA, SSA, DSB, and SSB pins)
The IC senses the voltage difference between the drain sense (pins DSA and DSB) and
the source sense (pins SSA and SSB) connections. The drain source differential voltage
of the SR MOSFET is used to drive the gate of the SR MOSFET.

When this absolute voltage difference is higher than V
, the corresponding gate

driver output turns on the external SR MOSFET. When the external SR MOSFET is
switched on, the absolute voltage difference between the drain and the source sense
connections drops to below V
. The regulation phase follows the turn-on phase.

When the absolute difference is lower than V

the gate voltage of the external SR MOSFET. The voltage waveform on the gate of the
SR MOSFET follows the waveform of the current through the SR MOSFET. When the
current through the external SR MOSFET reaches zero, the SR MOSFET is quickly
switched off.
After the SR MOSFET switch-off, the drain voltage increases. For a drain voltage above

The maximum driver output voltage is limited to V
all MOSFET brands to the minimum on-state resistance.
G(max)
In applications where the IC is supplied with 5 V, the maximum output voltage of the
driver is limited to 5 V. Logic level SR MOSFETs can be used.
The IC is equipped with additional source sense pins (SSA and SSB). These pins are
used for the measurement of the SR MOSFET drain-to-source voltage. The source
sense input must be connected as close as possible to the source pin of the external SR
MOSFET. It minimizes errors caused by voltage difference on PCB tracks because of
parasitic inductance in combination with large dI/dt values.
In accordance with the Absolute Maximum Rating System (IEC 60134).

A resonant switched mode power supply with the TEA1995T consists of a primary side
half-bridge, a transformer, a resonant capacitor, and an output stage. To obtain low
conduction loss rectification, SR MOSFETs are used in the output stage. The TEA1995T
controls these SR MOSFETs.
The gate drive voltage for the SR switch is derived from the voltage difference between
the corresponding drain sense and source sense pins.
Special attention must be paid to the connection of the drain sense and source sense
pins. The voltages measured on these pins are used for gate drive voltage. Wrong
measurement results in a less efficient gate drive because the gate voltage is either
too low or too high. The connections to these pins must not interfere with the power
wiring. The power wiring conducts currents with high dI/dt values. It can easily cause
measurement errors resulting from induced voltages due to parasitic inductances.
The separate source-sense pins enable the direct sensing of the source voltage of the
external MOSFETs. Using the current carrying power ground tracks is not allowed.
