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withdrawn on the secondary side of the isolation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.
