DESCRIPTION
STSR30 Smart Driver IC provides a high c urrent
outputs to properly drive secondary Power
Mosfets used as Synchronous Rectifier in low
output voltage, high efficiency Flyback
Converters. From a synchronizing clock inp ut,
withdrawn on the secondary side of the isolation
transformer, the IC generates a driving s ignal with
set dead times with respect to t he primary side
PWM signal.
The IC operation prevents sec ondary side
shoot-through conditions at turn-on of the primary

switch providing anticipation in turn-off the output.
This smart function is implemented by a fast
cycle-after-cycle logic control mechanism, based
on a high freq uenc y oscillator synchronized by the
clock signal. This anticipation is externally set
through external component. A special Inhibit
function, detec ting the voltage across the
Synchronous FET, allows to shut-off the drive
output during discontinuous mode condition. A
Disable pin allows turning off the device during
no-load condition reducing overall current
consumption.

reverse, allowing discontinuous conduction mode and providing protection to the
converter from eventual sinking current from the load.
A blanking time of 700ns allows operation when some voltage ringing is present
during turn-off of primary switch.
Absolute maximum voltage rating of the pin can be exceeded limiting the current

The supply voltage range from 4.5V to 5.5V allows applications with logic gate

7 SETANT The voltage on this pin sets the anticipation in turning off the OUTGATE. It is
possible to choose among three different anticipation times by discrete
partitioning of the supply voltage [ANT].
8 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 Rectifiers avoiding any eventual
shoot-through situation on secondary side at both transitions. Clock revelation
mechanism makes the operation of STSR30 particularly suitable for flyback
adaptors application allowing correct operation during discontinuous mode.
