Description
This evaluation board user’s manual describes a high efficiency
synchronous rectification evaluation board that can easily replace
a secondary side rectification diode in an SMPS.
The NCP4305 is used as synchronous rectification controller.
The evaluation board has very few external components and illustrates
how small and effective such a design can be.
The NCP4305 features a very precise 0 mV turn-off comparator that
supports even very low current flowing through the MOSFET even
when very low R

Figure 2. Possible Connections in to Circuit
The evaluation board can be connected in circuit where
the rectification diode is in the positive or negative branch.
When connection to a positive branch is used, it is necessary
to use an external power supply (or auxiliary winding with
rectification) to provide power to the evaluation board. VCC
should be referenced to A1 or A2 points. When LLD
function is used it is needed to connect LLD1 pin with
opposite side rectifier cathode.

Figure 3. Schematic of the NCP4305
The evaluation board was designed to support a minimal
external component count implementation. C1 and C2 are
decoupling capacitors. They should be placed as close as
possible to the VCC and GND pins. Resistors R
R
MIN_TOFF
are used to set the protection interval when the
MIN_TON
and
synchronous MOSFET is turned on and off. Resistor
R
MIN_TOFFM
is placed there to support a situation when an
external circuit provides control for minimum off-time
modulation. This is needed only in situations when the
minimum off-time cannot be set across the whole range of
power supply operation. Resistor R

power. This can be done in two ways. The first is to measure
duty cycle of skip burst. LLD circuit time constant is high
and it filters and averages duty cycle ratio. This is good for
systems which transfer low energy during skip each switch
cycle. When duty cycle of skip bursts is low NCP4305 enters
disable mode to save energy , when it is higher SR controller
starts to operate and SR transistor gate voltage is modulated
according to skip duty cycle. The second option is for system
which transfers lot of energy in few first pulses in skip and
then transferred energy is minimal. In this case LLD circuit
time constant is low and R
resistance is close to 0. LLD
LLD3
pin voltage drops down in first switching pulse in skip mode
and NCP4305 wakes up fast and allows using fully open SR
transistor. When skip burst ends, LLD voltage goes high and
if time between skip bursts is long enough NCP4305 enters
disable mode to save energy.
Circuit Layout
The PCB consists of a 2 layer FR4 board with 35 mm
copper cladding. All components are surface mount and
most of the components that may require adjustment are on
the same side and use 1206 values for easy rework. Critical
component such as blocking capacitors C1 and C2 have to
be placed carefully near the IC. The synchronous driver path
,
to the MOSFETs was done with very low resistance and
parasitic inductance to minimize emissions and minimize
turn-on and turn-off times. The same is true for the CS pin.
For the CS pin, a kelvin contact was done to be able to sense
the voltage directly at the drain. Improper connection of the
GND and CS connects can impact the turn-off process
especially when a very low R
MOSFET s are used.
