UCC24636 Synchronous Rectifier (SR) Controller
With Ultra-Low Standby Current
1 Features
3 Description
•
The UCC24636 SR is a compact, 6-pin secondaryside synchronous rectifier MOSFET controller and
driver for high efficiency Flyback converters operating
in Discontinuous (DCM) and Transition mode (TM).
Unlike traditional SR controllers which measure the
SR MOSFET drain voltage, UCC24636 implements a
volt-second balance control method to determine the
turn off transition of the SR MOSFET; hence, SR
conduction time is independent of the MOSFET
RDSON, parasitic inductance or ringing allowing
flexibility to designers in component slelction and
PCB layout. This control method enables maximum
SR conduction time and highest rectifier efficiency for
a given MOSFET.

Desktop Applications
The controller has built in intelligence to detect
converter no load operation and automatically enters
standby mode. While in standby mode, it disables the
SR MOSFET and lowers its bias supply current to
110uA to further reduce overall system standby
power consumption. The wide VDD operating range
for the controller allows direct bias from the converter
output for fixed or variable output voltage designs.
This eliminates the need for an auxilliary winding on
the main transformer, which simplifies the circuit
design and reduces the cost.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The UCC24636 SR controller is targeted for flyback converters operating in DCM and TM modes of operation.
The control method to determine SR on time is based on the volt-second balance principle of primary and
secondary conduction volt-second product. In converters operating in DCM and TM, the secondary current
always returns to zero in each cycle. The inductor charge voltage and time product is equal to the discharge
voltage and time product. The device uses internal current ramp emulators to predict the proper SR on time
based on voltage and time information on the VPC and VSC pins.
To achieve very low standby power in the converter, the UCC24636 has a standby mode of operation that
disables the SR MOSFET drive and reduces the device bias current to ISTBY. The device monitors the average
switching frequency of the converter to enter and exit the standby mode of operation, and is compatible with
converters operating in burst mode or constant frequency in light-load mode.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Start Up and UVLO
The UCC24636 features a wide operating VDD range and low UVLO thresholds. The start up of the device is
dependent on voltage levels on three pins: VDD, VPC and VSC. The VDD pin can be directly connected to the
power supply output on converters from 5-V to 24-V nominal outputs. The start UVLO threshold is VVDD(on), 4.0 V
typical, and stop threshold is VVDD(off), 3.6 V typical. The DRV output is not enabled unless the voltage on the
VPC pin is greater than VVPCEN for a time longer than tVPC-BLK and the voltage on the VSC pin is greater than
VVSCEN. Once the VDD, VSC and VPC voltage and time thresholds are met, there is an internal initialization time
before the DRV output is enabled.
Refer to Figure 12 for a startup sequence that illustrates the timing sequence and configurable DRV output
based on VDD level. In most converter designs, the conditions for the VPC and VSC voltage to enable the
device are met before the VDD start-voltage threshold, this is reflected in the timing diagram. When VDD
exceeds VVDD(on) UVLO threshold the device starts the initialization sequence of 150 µs to 250 µs illustrated as
tINITIALIZE. After the device initialization, there is a logic initialization of 20 µs at which time VTBLK is enabled (high).
At VDD < VPMOS the driver high-side PMOS device is enabled and the DRV peak will be close to VDD. When
VDD exceeds VPMOS the PMOS device is disabled and the driver is operating as a high-side NMOS only and
DRV is approximately 1.2 V to 1.5 V lower than VDD. As VDD continues to increase, the DRV output is limited to
VDRCL regardless of VDD up to the recommended maximum rating.

Feature Description (continued)
The UCC24636 uses the VPC and VSC pins to sense the SR MOSFET VDS voltage and converter VOUT voltage
through resistor dividers. The information of VIN/NPS, tPRI, and VOUT can be obtained from the information on VPC
and VSC pins. The SR MOSFET turn on is determined when the SR MOSFET body diode starts conducting and
the VPC pin voltage falls to near zero; the SR MOSFET turn off is determined by the current emulator control
ramps.
The UCC24636 volt-sec control generates the internal VPC ramp and VSC ramp to emulate the transformer VoltSec balancing as shown in Figure 13.
The secondary current discharge time, tSEC-DIS can be determined indirectly. The primary volt-sec ramp and
secondary volt-sec ramp both start when VPC rises above VVPC-EN and VVPC-TH. The charge currents for the VPC
and VSC ramps are determined by the voltage on the VPC and VSC pins respectively.
When VPC is higher than VVPC-EN and VVPC-TH for t > tVPC-BLK, the VPC pulse is qualified as a primary conduction
pulse and the SR can be enabled on the VPC falling edge. The VPC ramp continues to rise until the VPC falling
edge based on the real time voltage on the VPC pin and holds the peak for the cycle. The DRV output is turned
on during the VPC falling edge near zero volts, and DRV is turned off when the VSC rising ramp crosses the
VPC ramp held level.
Both VPC and VSC ramps are reset to zero on each VPC rising edge above the VVPC-EN and VVPC-TH thresholds.
To discriminate primary on-time pulses from DCM ringing, there are voltage and time criteria that must be
satisfied on the VPC pin to enable the DRV output. tVPC-BLK can be adjusted through the resistor on TBLK pin.
At the rising edge of VPC when the voltage exceeds VVPC-EN and VVPC-TH the blanking time tVPC-BLK is initiated. At
the end of tVPC-BLK, the VPC voltage is sampled during tVPC-SPL window, which is 100 ns nominal. Also at the end
of tVPC-BLK, the DRV output can be enabled.
The VPC voltage sampled during tVPC-SPL determines the VPC dynamic threshold VVPC-TH which is normally 85%
of the sampled VPC voltage. The dynamic threshold provides the ability to reject the DCM ringing and detect the
primary on-time. Noise immunity during the turn-on event of DRV at the falling edge of the VPC pin is enhanced
by a minimum DRV on time of tSRONMIN, which is 350 ns nominal.
During the falling edge of DRV, the tOFF timer is initiated which inhibits turn on of the SR until tOFF expires. This
eliminates false turn on of DRV if the DCM ringing is close to ground.

SLUSCG2A – MARCH 2016 – REVISED MARCH 2016
Feature Description (continued)
The UCC24636 is designed to operate in a variety of flyback converter applications over a wide operating range.
The internal volt-sec control ramps do have a dynamic range limit based on volt-sec on the VPC pin. As shown
in Figure 14, a Volt-sec product exceeding 7 V-µs on the VPC pin will result in saturation of the VPC volt-sec
control ramp. Operation beyond this point results in a DRV on-time less than expected. For example, if VVPC =
0.5 V, tVPC should be < 14 µs, or if VVPC = 2.0 V, tVPC should be < 3.5 µs, to operate within the dynamic range of
the device. Assuming a converter operating in transition mode at low line and full load with a 50% duty cycle, the
operating period is 28 µs which results in a frequency that is under 40 kHz. The UCC24636 low-frequency
operating range extends to the standby mode threshold of 5 kHz; but each switching cycle VVPC Volt-sec product
should be less than 7 V-µs.
RatioVPC_VSC
The device can support switching frequencies exceeding 130 kHz but the following timing limits need to be
confirmed to be compatible with the power train. The minimum primary on time when the device is expected to
be active needs to be compatible with the minimum VPC blanking time (tVPC-BLK) setting of 203 ns plus the
sampling window (tVPC-SPL) of 100 ns. The minimum secondary current conduction time should be greater than
the minimum SR on time (tSRONMIN) of 350 ns. The minimum time from the SR drive turn off until the next SR
drive turn on should be greater than the SR minimum off time (tOFF) of 4.35 µs.

Feature Description (continued)
Determining the VPC and VSC divider resistors is based on the operating voltage ranges of the converter and
RatioVPC-VSC gain ratio. Referring to Figure 15, the following equation determines the VPC divider values.
For RVPC2, a value of 10 kΩ is recommended for minimal impact on time delay, and low-resistor dissipation. A
higher RVPC2 value reduces resistor divider dissipation but may increase the DRV turn-on delay due to the time
constant of ~2 pF pin capacitance and divider resistance. A lower RVPC2 value can be used with the tradeoff of
higher dissipation in the resistor divider. A factor of 10% over the VPC threshold, VVPCEN, is shown in Equation 1
for design margin.

(1)
The operating voltage range on the VPC pin should be within the range of 0.45 V < VVPC < 2.2 V. Referring to
Figure 6, if VVPC is greater than 2.3 V the linear dynamic range is exceeded and RatioVPC_VSC is reduced; in this
condition the DRV on time is less than expected. If VVPC is greater than 2.6 V for 500 ns, a fault is generated and
DRV is disabled for the cycle, refer to Pin Fault Protection. To ensure the maximum voltage is within range
confirm with Equation 2.

The program voltage on the VSC pin is determined by the VPC divider ratio and the device's parameter
RatioVPC_VSC. The current emulator ramp gain is higher on the VPC pin by the multiple RatioVPC_VSC, so the VSC
resistor divider ratio is reduced by the same RatioVPC_VSC accordingly. Determine the VSC divider resistors using
Equation 3 below. To minimize resistor divider dissipation, a recommended range for RVSC2 is 25 kΩ to 50 kΩ.
Higher RVSC2 values results in increasing offset due to VSC input current, IVSC. Lower RVSC2 values increases the
resistor divider dissipation. To ensure DRV turn off slightly before the secondary current reaches zero, 10%
margin is shown for initial values. Use a nominal value of 4.15 for RatioVPC_VSC.

The operating voltage on the VSC pin should be within the range of 0.3 V < VVSC < 2.2 V. Referring to Figure 7, if
VVSC is greater than 2.3 V, the linear dynamic range is exceeded and RatioVPC_VSC is increased; in this condition
the DRV on time is more than expected, resulting in possible negative current conduction. To ensure the VSC

(5)
Discrimination of ringing during DCM operation from valid primary on-time is achieved by a dynamic VPC rising
threshold and programmable blanking time. The dynamic threshold VVPC-TH is 85% typical ratio of the previous
VPC pin peak voltage. Referring to Figure 13, the VPC pin voltage is sampled after the VPC voltage is greater
than VVPCEN and VVPC-TH for t > tVPC-BLK. The function of the dynamic threshold VVPC-TH is to reject the ringing in
DCM operation from the primary conduction pulses. The dynamic threshold has an active range from the
minimum VVPCEN voltage to a maximum of 1-V clamp. The blanking time is programmable from 200 ns to 2 µs in
order to accommodate a variety of converter designs.
Refer to Figure 16 for guidance on selecting the blanking time. The blanking time should be selected as long as
reasonable and still accommodate the minimum primary on-time at light-load condition and high-line voltage. In
the high-line minimum load condition, select a blanking time that meets the following criteria (Equation 6) to
accommodate tolerance of the blanking time and the tVPC-SPL sampling time window.
tVPC-BLK = (tPRI x 0.85) – 120 ns
(6)
For rejection of DCM ringing, the blanking time should be longer than the time that the ring is above the VVPC-TH
dynamic threshold, which is 85% of the minimum SR VDS peak voltage. Determine these criteria at low line and
maximum load condition. It is recommended that the transformer turns ratio be selected such that the secondary
reflected voltage is < 85% of VIN(min) bulk capacitor voltage at the highest load when DCM operation occurs at the
low line input condition.
To determine the resistor value for tVPC-BLK use Equation 7 to select from a range of 200 ns to 2 µs.

(7)
Additional discrimination for proper SR timing control is provided by the tOFF function. Refer to Figure 13 for the
timing details. After the DRV turn off, the DRV is inhibited from turning on again until the tOFF timer expires. This
protects against SR false turn on from SR VDS DCM ringing below ground.

8.3.3 Standby Operation
To minimize power consumption at very light load and standby conditions, the UCC24636 disables the SR DRV
output and enters a low current operating state. The criteria for operating in standby mode or normal operation
are determined by the average frequency detected on the VPC pin. The frequency detection is compatible with
burst mode operation or continuous low frequency FM operation. At start up the device is in normal operation to
enable DRV to the SR MOSFET. If < 64 cycles occur in tENTO,12.8 ms typical, the device disables the DRV
output and enters low-current operating mode with bias current of ISTBY. In standby mode the criteria to enter
normal operating mode is when > 32 cycles occur within tEN, 2.56 ms typical. The device enters normal operation
as soon as the 32 cycles occur to reduce the response time exiting standby operation. The average frequency of
entering standby mode is 5 kHz typical, and the average frequency of exiting standby mode is 12.5 kHz typical.
Refer to Figure 17 for an illustration of standby mode timing.

8.4.3 Standby Operation
If the number of VPC pulses is less than nENTO, 64, during tENTO the device enters standby mode. DRV operation
stops and most device functions are shut down. IDD is ISTBY during standby operation. To exit standby mode the
number of VPC pulses must exceed nEN, 32, during tEN. IDD returns to IRUN and the DRV output starts after the
initialization time as outlined in Figure 12.
8.4.4 Conditions to Stop Operation
The following conditions can disable DRV operation; IDD is IRUN during these conditions.
1. VPC overvoltage: When VVPC > VVPCDIS for >500 ns the DRV output is disabled for the cycle.
2. VSC undervoltage: When VVSC < VVSCEN, the DRV output is disabled.
3. VPC undervoltage: When VVPC< VVPCEN, the DRV output is disabled.

Therefore, VVSC is within the recommended range of 0.3 V to 2.2 V.
The UCC24636 SR timing can be optimized (SR on time increased) by increasing the R115 value after initial
operation confirmation. The RatioVPC_VSC parameter has a positive tolerance of 5.3%. Using 1% divider resistors
for VPC and VSC should allow reducing the 10% initial SR timing margin.
9.2.3.3 TBLK Input
The blanking time is set with resistor R22.
Select the blanking time to meet the following criteria based on 660-ns minimum primary on-time at high line.
tVPC-BLK = (tPRI × 0.85) – 120 ns
spacer
R22 =
t VPC-BLK - 100 ns
18 pF
(14)
A value of R22 = 20 kΩ results in a blanking time of approximately 460 ns.

9.3 Do's and Don'ts
•
•
•
•
•
•
Do operate the device within the recommended operating maximum parameters. Consider output overvoltage
conditions when determining stress.
Do consider the guideline for setting the blanking time resistor value illustrated in Figure 16.
Do not use the UCC24636 in CCM flyback converter designs. For CCM designs, use the UCC24630 with the
CCM dead time control function.
Do not use the UCC24636 in LLC converters as they can operate in CCM.
Do not add capacitance to the TBLK pin.
Do not add significant external capacitance to the VPC pin as there will be increased delay of the signal. If
filtering is necessary a recommended maximum capacitance is 15 pF with a lower resistor divider network
value of 10 kΩ.
10 Power Supply Recommendations
The VDD operating range allows direct connection to converter outputs from 5 V to 24 V. Since the driver and
control share the same VDD and ground, it is recommended to place a good quality ceramic capacitor as close
as possible to VDD and GND pins. To reduce VDD noise and eliminate high-frequency ripple current injected
from the converter output, it is recommended to place a small resistance of 2.2 Ω to 10 Ω between the converter
output and VDD. The device can tolerate VDD rise times from 100 µs to very long rise times typical of constant
current chargers. The start-up sequence will always be as shown in Figure 12. VDD can be connected to an
external bias to extend the device's operating range to be compatible with converter output voltages below 3.5 V
or above 24 V.

11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
In general, try to keep all high current loops as short as possible. Keep all high current/high frequency traces
away from other traces in the design. If necessary, high-frequency/high-current traces should be perpendicular to
signal traces, not parallel to them. Shielding signal traces with ground traces can help reduce noise pick up.
Always consider appropriate clearances between the high-voltage connections and any low-voltage nets.
11.1.1 VDD Pin
The VDD pin must be decoupled to GND with good quality, low ESR, low ESL ceramic bypass capacitors with
short traces to the VDD and GND pins. To eliminate high-frequency ripple current in the SR control circuit, it is
recommended to place a small value resistance of 2.2 Ω to 10 Ω between VDD and the converter output voltage.
11.1.2 VPC Pin
The trace between the resistor divider and the VPC pin should be as short as possible to reduce/eliminate
possible noise coupling. The lower resistor of the resistor divider network connected to the VPC pin should be
returned to GND with short traces. Avoid adding any significant external capacitance to the VPC pin so that there
is no delay of signal. If filtering is necessary a recommended maximum capacitance is 15 pF with a lower resistor
divider network value of 10 kΩ. Avoid high dV/dt traces close to the VPC pin and connection trace such as the
SR MOSFET drain and DRV output.
11.1.3 VSC Pin
The trace between the resistor divider and the VSC pin should be as short as possible to reduce/eliminate
possible noise coupling. The lower resistor of the resistor divider network connected to the VSC pin should be
returned to GND with short traces. External capacitance can be added to the VSC pin for noise filtering. The
maximum capacitance consideration is a time constant of the capacitor and the resistor divider resistance that is
less than 1/4 the minimum rise time of the converter output during startup. Avoid high dV/dt traces close to the
VSC pin and connection trace such as the SR MOSFET drain and DRV output.
11.1.4 GND Pin
The GND pin is the power and signal ground connection for the controller. The effectiveness of the filter
capacitors on the signal pins depends upon the integrity of the ground return. Place all decoupling capacitors as
close as possible to the device pins with short traces. The device ground and power ground should meet at the
output bulk capacitor’s return. Try to ensure that high frequency/high current from the power stage does not go
through the signal ground.
11.1.5 TBLK Pin
The programming resistor is placed on TBLK to GND, with short traces. The value may have to be adjusted
based on the time delay required. Avoid high dV/dt traces close to the TBLK pin and connection trace such as
the SR MOSFET drain and DRV output.
11.1.6 DRV Pin
The track connected to DRV carries high dv/dt signals. Minimize noise pickup by routing the trace to this pin as
far away as possible from tracks connected to the device signal inputs, VPC, VSC, and TBLK.
