ZXGD3101T8
Synchronous rectifier controller for flyback converters.
Description
The ZXGD3101 is intended to drive MOSFETS
configured as ideal diode replacements. The
device is comprised of a differential amplifier
detector stage and high current driver. The
detector monitors the reverse voltage of the
MOSFET such that if body diode conduction
occurs a positive voltage is applied to the
MOSFET's Gate pin.
Once the positive voltage is applied to the Gate
the MOSFET switches on allowing reverse
current flow. The detectors' output voltage is
then proportional to the MOSFET Drain-Source
reverse voltage drop and this is applied to the
Gate via the driver. This action provides a rapid
turn off as current decays.

Operation
Normal Operation
The operation of the device is described step-by-step with reference to the timing diagram below.
1. The detector monitors the MOSFET Drain-Source voltage.
2. When, due to transformer action, the MOSFET body diode is forced to conduct there is
approximately -0.6V on the Drain pin.
3. The detector outputs a positive voltage with respect to ground, this voltage is then fed to the
MOSFET driver stage and current is sourced out of the GATEH pin.
4. The current out of the GATEH pin is sourced into the synchronous MOSFET Gate to turn the
device on.
5. The GATEH output voltage is now proportional to the Drain-Source voltage drop across the
MOSFET due to the current flowing through the MOSFET.
6. MOSFET conduction continues until the drain current reaches zero.
7. At zero current the detector output voltage is zero and the synchronous MOSFET Gate voltage
is pulled low by the GATEL, turning the device off.
