Evaluation
Board User'sManual
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 NCP4306 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 NCP4306 features a very precise 0 mV turn−off comparator
that supports even very low current flowing through the MOSFET
even when very low RDSON synchronous MOSFETs is used.
NCP4306 can be used in application working in CCM without
external synchronization thanks to very low propagation delay and
strong driver.
Key Features
• Precise Turn−off Comparator
• Wide Input Voltage Range
• High Operation Frequency
• Strong MOSFET Driver
• High Efficiency
• Adjustable Minimum On and Off Times
• Adjustable Light Load Detection Feature
• Capable to Operate in Positive and Negative Branch
• Small Size

CONNECTION DIAGRAM
a) b)
Figure 2. Possible Connections into 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.

EVALUATION BOARD SCHEMATIC
Figure 3. Schematic of the NCP4306
The evaluation board was designed to support a minimal
external component count implementation. C1 is
decoupling capacitor that should be placed as close as
possible to the VCC and GND pins. Resistors RMIN_TON
and RMIN_TOFF are used to set the protection interval
when the synchronous MOSFET is turned on and off. It may
be needed to adjust them according to used SMPS. RLLD
sets light load detection time and CLLD is optional for LLD
voltage decoupling. Components CSNB, RSNB1 and
RSNB2 form a snubber circuit.
Transistor M1 is 150 V V
capable with R

CIRCUIT LAYOUT
The PCB consists of a 2 layer FR4 board with 35 mm
copper cladding. All components are surface mount. Critical
component such as blocking capacitor C1 has to be placed
carefully near the IC. The synchronous driver path to the
MOSFET 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 is used.
