Adjustment
The NCP4304A/B offers adjustable minimum ON and
OFF time periods that ease the implementation of the
synchronous rectification system in a power supply. These
timers avoid false triggering on the CS input after the
MOSFET is turned on or off. The adjustment is based on an
internal timing capacitance and external resistors connected
to the GND pin – refer to Figure 61 for better understanding.

As the same current is used for the internal timing

The absolute minimum t

duration is internally clamped

Some applications may require adaptive minimum on and
off time blanking periods. With NCP4304A/B it is possible
to modulate blanking periods by using an external NPN
transistor − refer to Figure 64. The modulation signal can be
derived based on the load current or feedback regulator
voltage.

In LLC applications with a very wide operating frequency
range it is necessary to have very short minimum on time and
off time periods in order to reach the required maximum
operating frequency. However, when a LLC converter
operates under low frequency, the minimum off time period
may then be too short. To overcome possible issues with the
LLC operating under low line and light load conditions, one
can prolong the minimum off time blanking period by using
resistors R
DRAIN1
and R
DRAIN2
connected from the
opposite SR MOSFET drain – refer to Figure 65.

Power Dissipation Calculation
It is important to consider the power dissipation in the
MOSFET driver of a SR system. If no external gate resistor
is used and the internal gate resistance of the MOSFET is
very low, nearly all energy losses related to gate charge are
dissipated in the driver. Thus it is necessary to check the SR
driver power losses in the target application to avoid over
temperature and to optimize efficiency.
In SR systems the body diode of the SR MOSFET starts
conducting before turn on because the V
th_cs_on
threshold
level is below 0 V. On the other hand, the SR MOSFET turn
off process always starts before the drain to source voltage
rises up significantly. Therefore, the MOSFET switch
always operates under Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS)
conditions when implemented in a synchronous
rectification system.
The following steps show how to approximately calculate
the power dissipation and DIE temperature of the
NCP4304A/B controller. Note that real results can vary due
to the effects of the PCB layout on the thermal resistance.
Step 1 – MOSFET Gate-to-Source Capacitance:
During ZVS operation the gate to drain capacitance does
not have a Miller effect like in hard switching systems
because the drain to source voltage is close to zero and its
change is negligible.
