DESCRIPTION

STSR3 Smart Driver IC provides a high current
outputs to properly drive secondary Power
Mosfets used as Synchronous Rectifier in low
output voltage, high efficiency Flyback
Converters. From a synchronizing clock input,
withdrawn on the secondary side of the isolation
transformer, the IC generates a drivi ng s ignal with
set dead time s with respect to the primary side
PWM signal .
The IC operation prevents secondary side
shoot-through conditions at t urn-on of the primary

switch providing anticipation in turn-off the output.
This sm art function is implemented by a fast
cycle-after-cycle logic control mechanism, based
on a high frequency oscillator synchronized by the
clock signal. This anticipation is externally set
through external component. A special Inhibit
function allows to shut-off the drive output. This
feature make s discontinuous conducti on mode
possible and avoids reverse conduction of the
synchronous rectifier.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS

Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which damage to the device may occur. Functional operation under these condition is
not implied.
(*) A higher positive voltage level can be applied to the pin with a resistor which limits the current flowing into the pin to 10mA maximum

THERMAL DATA

(*) This value is referred to one layer pcb board with minimum copper connections for the leads. a minimum value of 120 °C/W can be
obtained improving thermal conductivity of the board

PIN DESCRIPTION

Pin N° Symbol Name and Function

1 NC No internally connected
2V

CC

The supply voltage range from 4.0V 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.

3 SET

ANT

The voltage on this pin sets the anticipation (t

ANT

) in turning off the OUT

GATE

It is

possible to choose among three different anticipation times by discrete
partitioning of the supply voltage.

4 CK 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 Rectifier 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. Absolute maximum voltage rating of the
pin can be exceeded limiting the current flowing into the pin to 10mA max.

5 INHIBIT This input enables OUT

GATE

to work when its voltage is lower than the negative

threshold voltage (V

INHIBIT<VH

). If V

INHIBIT>VH

the OUT

GATE

will be high for a

minimum conduction time (t

ON(GATE)

). In typical flyback converter application, it is

possible to turn off the synchronous 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.

6 SGLGND Reference for all the control logic signals. This pin is completely separated from

the PWRGND to prevent eventual disturbances to affect the control logic.

7OUT

GATE

is provided during the transition in which the clock input goes to high

level.

8 PWRGND Reference for power signals, this pin carries the full peak currents for the two

outputs.
