The SRM
solution for implementing very high
efficiency Synchronous Rectification and
eliminates many of the problems with self-
driven approaches. The module connects to
the transformer secondary of a Forward
Converter to provide complete high current
rectification at output voltages ranging from 5
volts down to 1.0 volt, in a thermally efficient
surface mount package.
Rectification Efficiency as high as 95% is
achieved by avoiding cross conduction.
Dedicated Ics provide effective Gate drive of
the ultra low Rds(on) MOSFETs used in the
module. In conventional self-driven
approaches, the MOSFET drive ends as soon
as the power transformer finishes resetting.
This causes increased losses as the duty cycle
decreases. The SRM
drives either the Forward or the Catch
MOSFET over virtually the entire duty cycle.
Only a small prediction time, typically 100 ns,
is needed to avoid cross conduction.
The SRM
large sudden changes in duty cycle. This
makes the module suitable for current mode
control applications, with large load changes

where high bandwidth is needed. Proprietary
prediction circuitry eliminates cross conduction
for sudden large changes in pulse width. The
module is self-powered from the transformer
secondary winding and operates over a wide
range of peak transformer voltages and PWM
frequencies.
A 5-Volt Linear Regulator is also available as
a power supply for other secondary side
circuitry such as powering opto coupler
feedback. In very low voltage applications
where the peak transformer voltage is not high
enough for powering the modules, secondary
power can be provided to the regulator from an
additional transformer winding.
The High Current Surface Mount Package
has Low Inductance, and robust terminals
for superior regulation and low noise
susceptibility in high load current transients.
The Module has an isolated base and is
designed for direct PCB mounting with the
terminals formed within the package. The
base-plate of the module allows heat to be
dissipated by the PCB etch, or a mechanical
sink attachment through the PCB for higher
power applications.
