8CKThis 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.

Figure3 : ST SR 30 SYNCHRONIZATION TECHNIQUE
The synchronization is based on the revelation of the low level of the drain voltage of the synchronous rectifier. To avoid false triggering of
the device during discontinuous mode, it is important that the lowest level of the ringing must be higher than the Ck threshold. Diode D3 and
resistor R3 keep the Ck signal to high level even during the ringing. OUTGate is the complementary signal of the Ck with proper dead time
setting to avoid cross-conduction.
