The combination of controller and MOSFET emulates
a near-ideal diode rectifier. This solution not only
directly reduces power dissipation of the rectifier but
also indirectly reduces primary-side losses as well,
due to compounding of efficiency gains.
Using
drain-to-source
voltage
sensing,
the
UCC24610 is ideal for Flyback and LLC-resonant
power supplies but can also be used with other power
architectures. The UCC24610 is optimized for output
voltages from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, and is suitable for use
with lower and higher output voltages as well.
The UCC24610 offers a programmable falsetriggering
filter,
a
programmable
timer
to
automatically switch to light-load mode at light load,
and a SYNC input for optional use in continuous
conduction mode (CCM) systems. Protection features
on TON and EN/TOFF pins prevent run-away on-time
due to open-circuit or short-circuit fault conditions.
This device is available in an 8-pin SOIC package
and an 8-pin, 3.0-mm × 3.0-mm SON package with
an exposed thermal pad.

EN/TOFF

I/O
DESCRIPTION
I
EN/TOFF (combined enable function and programmable off-time timer), when VCC falls below the
VCC(off) threshold, the UCC24610 is in UVLO mode, the EN/TOFF input is internally connected to
GND through a 10-kΩ resistance and the internal current source is turned off. When VCC exceeds
the VCC(on) threshold, the 10-kΩ resistance is removed and the current source is turned on.
Thereafter, when EN/TOFF exceeds VEN(on), the UCC24610 is in run mode and when EN/TOFF falls
below VEN(off), the UCC24610 is in sleep mode. The voltage level on EN/TOFF also programs the
minimum off-time (TOFF) for the controlled MOSFET. EN/TOFF is internally driven by a two-level
current source, so the voltage level on EN/TOFF can be set by connecting a resistor from EN/TOFF
to GND. The EN/TOFF current source initially drives twice as much current (IEN-START) to achieve the
enable threshold voltage VEN(on), and then drops to the normal run mode level (IEN-ON) to program the
TOFF time. Alternatively, the desired EN/TOFF voltage may be forced using an external source. The
TOFF time is programmed to suppress GATE output for a desired duration to avoid possible false
retriggering from resonant ringing or noise after turnoff. The TOFF timer is triggered when VD voltage
exceeds 1.5 V after GATE transitions from high to low.
GATE
5
O
GATE (controlled MOSFET gate drive), connect GATE to the gate of the controlled MOSFET through
a small series resistor using short PC board tracks to achieve optimal switching performance. The
GATE output can achieve >1-A peak source current when High and >2-A peak sink current when Low
into a large N-channel power MOSFET.
In sleep mode and UVLO, GATE impedance to GND is about 1.6 Ω.
GATE impedance to GND crests about 80 Ω, when VCC ≈ 1.1 V.
GND
6
–
GND (combined analog and power ground), this ground input is the reference potential for the GATE
driver, the UVLO comparator, the EN/TOFF comparator, the EN/TOFF timer, and the TON timer.
Connect a 0.1-µF or larger ceramic bypass capacitor from the VCC pin to the GND pin through very
short PC-board tracks.
I
SYNC (gate turnoff synchronization), a falling edge on SYNC immediately forces GATE low, turning
off the controlled MOSFET asynchronous to the voltage on the drain and source, and regardless of
the state of the TON timer. When a power converter is operated in continuous conduction mode
(CCM), it is necessary to turn off the controlled MOSFET under command of the switching converter.
Connect SYNC to a control signal on the primary side of the converter using a high-voltage isolation
capacitor or transformer, or other suitable coupling means. A continuous low level on the SYNC input
causes GATE to be driven low for the same duration.
I
TON (programmable on-time timer), program the minimum on time with a resistor from TON to GND.
When the controlled MOSFET gate is turned on, some ringing noise is generated. The minimum ontime timer blanks the VD-VS comparator, keeping the controlled MOSFET on for at least the
programmed minimum time. This time also determines the light-load shut-down point. If VD-VS falls
below the –5-mV threshold before TON time expires, the controller transitions into light-load mode on
the next switching cycle. When VD-VS falls below the –5-mV threshold after TON expires, the device
resumes run-mode operation on the next switching cycle.
I
VCC (positive power input), connect a DC power voltage to VCC. Bypass VCC to GND with a 0.1-µF
or larger ceramic capacitor using short PC board tracks. VCC supplies power to all circuits in the
UCC24610. Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO) comparators prevent operation until VCC rises above
VCC(on). VCC can be used to safely turn off the UCC24610 by pulling VCC below VCC(off). In the event
that VCC drops below VCC(off), GATE immediately falls Low and EN/TOFF is internally connected to
GND with a 10-kΩ resistance.
SYNC

TON

VCC
4
VD
8
I
VD (drain-sense voltage), connect this pin as close as possible to the controlled MOSFET drain pad
through a short PC board track, to minimize the effects of trace inductance on VD. VD must be >1.5 V
and the TOFF timer must be expired before the device may be armed to allow the controlled
MOSFET to be turned on the next switching cycle. Once armed, the controlled MOSFET is turned on
(GATE goes High) when VD falls more than –150 mV below VS. At that threshold, the GATE output
goes High and the TON timer is triggered. GATE remains High at least as long as the programmed
TON time has not expired, unless a pulse at the SYNC input is detected. After TON has expired, the
GATE output is turned off when VD-VS voltage decreases to –5 mV. If VD-VS decreases to –5 mV
before TON expires, the controller enters light-load mode and the GATE pulse for the next switching
cycle is suppressed. When the VD voltage increases to 1.5 V, the TOFF timer is triggered and the
GATE output is prevented from turning on during the TOFF interval.
VS
7
I
VS (source-sense voltage), connect this pin as close as possible to the controlled MOSFET source
pad through a short PC-board track, to minimize the effects of trace inductance on VS.
–
Thermal Pad on SON package only, the exposed thermal pad on the bottom of the SON package
enhances the thermal performance of the device, and is intended to be soldered to a heat-dissipating
pad on the PCB. This pad should be connected to the GND pin, or may be left floating (unconnected
to any network). It is internally connected to GND through an indeterminate impedance and so may
not be used to carry current.

Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended
Operating Conditions. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
Input voltages more negative than indicated may exist on any listed pin without excess stress or damage to the device if the pin’s input
current magnitude is limited to less than -10mA. See separate ratings for SYNC and GATE pins.
EN/TOFF can be driven by a voltage within the specified absolute maximum range or connected to a resistor to ground. Either method
will program maximum off-time. When programmed by a resistor to GND, the voltage at the EN/TOFF terminal is internally limited to

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The UCC24610 synchronous rectifier (SR) controller uses drain-to-source voltage sensing to determine the SR
MOSFET conduction interval. The SR MOSFET is turned on when VDS exceeds –150 mV, and is turned off when
VDS diminishes to –5 mV or the SYNC input is triggered for CCM operation. Programmable minimum on-time and
off-time helps avoid false turnon and turnoff responses to switch voltage ringing and noise. To reduce light-load
switching losses, automatic light-load mode disables the GATE pulses when the actual on-time based on VDS
becomes less than the programmed minimum on-time. When the load increases such that the conduction time
exceeds the programmed minimum on-time, the controller resumes normal SR operation.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Normal Operation
The UCC24610 GREEN rectifier synchronous-rectifier (SR) controller powers up into UVLO mode as VCC
increases from 0 V. Enable current (IEN) from the EN/TOFF pin is inhibited until VCC exceeds the VCC(on)
threshold, and remains active as long as VCC exceeds the VCC(off) threshold. The voltage on the EN/TOFF pin
determines whether the controller is enabled or not. The controller operates in the normal run mode when the
enable voltage (VEN) exceeds the enable threshold VEN(on) and remains enabled as long as VEN exceeds the
VEN(off) threshold.
After the controller is enabled, VEN programs the minimum off time inversely proportional to the voltage (see
Enabling and TOFF Programming). The two-state enable current allows a lower-value resistance for REN(off)
(necessary to program longer off time) to still generate sufficient voltage to exceed VEN(on) at start-up. A simple
resistor from EN/TOFF to GND generates VEN based on the level of IEN current flowing through it (see Figure 17).
Alternatively, VEN may be driven by an external voltage source provided this voltage exceeds VEN(on) for at least
100 ns before settling to its final programming level.

Feature Description (continued)
The UCC24610 SR controller determines the conduction time of the SR-MOSFET by comparing the drain-tosource voltage of the MOSFET against a turnon threshold and a turnoff threshold. The GATE output is driven
high when VDS of the MOSFET exceeds VTH(on) and is driven low when VDS decreases below VTH(off) as illustrated
in Figure 18.

Feature Description (continued)
However, actual in-circuit waveforms are rarely as clean as shown in Figure 18. Instead, parasitic inductances
and capacitances set up resonant ringing at various inflection points in the waveforms. The UCC24610 has
control timing and programming options that help avoid interference from such ringing with proper operation.
Figure 19 shows more realistic waveforms and the internal control timing which accommodates them. The
waveforms affecting the SR-MOSFET in a typical flyback circuit are shown.

Minimum on-time TON is programmed with a resistor from TON, (pin 3) to GND to blank the response of the
turnoff detection circuit to prevent GATE from being turned off from spurious crossings of VTH(off) due to noise
and ringing. TON is triggered by the GATE turning on. Refer to TON Programming for details.
Minimum off-time TOFF is programmed with a resistor from pin 2 to GND to blank the response of the turnon
detection circuit to prevent GATE from being turned-on again from spurious crossings of VTH(on) due to excessive
COSS resonant ringing. TOFF is triggered by VDS crossing VTHARM after the GATE turns off. Refer to the Enabling
and TOFF Programming for details
The GATE output may only turn on when the controller has been armed for the switching cycle. The controller is
armed for each successive SR cycle only after TOFF expires. In high-frequency applications, an excessively long
TOFF may interfere with timely turn-on of GATE in the next switching cycle. GATE turn on will be delayed if
TOFF from the previous cycle has not yet expired.

7.3.2 Light-Load Operation
During normal operation, the synchronous rectifier conduction time is longer than the programmed minimum ontime. If load current decreases enough that the SR conduction time becomes shorter than the programmed
minimum on-time, a light-load condition is detected. The light-load latch is set and the next GATE output pulse is
blanked, so only the body diode of the controlled MOSFET conducts. This comparison between SR conduction
time and minimum on time occurs every switching cycle, regardless of whether the GATE output pulse is enabled
or blanked. When load current increases enough that the body-diode conduction time becomes longer than the
programmed minimum on time, the light-load latch is cleared and the next GATE output pulse is enabled and the
controlled MOSFET resumes SR operation.
Figure 20 depicts the progression into light-load mode for a DCM flyback application as the load decreases, while
Figure 21 depicts the reverse progression back to run mode.

7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 UVLO Mode
When the VCC voltage to the device has not yet reached the VCC(on) threshold, or has fallen below the UVLO
threshold VCC(off), the device operates in the low-power UVLO mode. In this mode, most internal functions are
disabled and ICC current is typically much less than 100 µA. While in this mode, the EN current source is shut
off, an internal 10-kΩ resistance is applied from the EN/TOFF pin to GND, the voltage on EN/TOFF is irrelevant,
and the GATE output is driven low continuously for all VCC > 1.2 V. The device passes out of UVLO mode when
VCC increases above the VCC(on) threshold. UVLO mode is very similar to Sleep mode, except VCC current is at
ICC(start) level.
7.4.2 Sleep Mode
Sleep mode is a low-power operating mode similar to UVLO mode, except that this mode is entered under
external control by forcing VEN below the VEN(off) threshold. Sleep mode may be used to reduce device operating
losses to less than 1 mW. VCC current reduces to ICC(stby) level. External control overrides any internal timing
conditions, and immediately forces the GATE output low and enters Sleep mode. Many internal circuits are
turned off to reduce power consumption. When VEN is restored to above the VEN(on) threshold, the device exits
Sleep mode synchronously into Light-load mode after a delay of approximately 25 µs to allow re-powered internal
circuits to settle.
7.4.3 Run Mode
Run mode is the normal operating mode of the controller when not in UVLO mode, sleep mode, or light-load
mode. In this mode, VCC current is higher because all internal control and timing functions are operating and the
GATE output is driving the controlled MOSFET for synchronous rectification. VCC current is the sum of ICC(on)
plus the average current necessary to drive the load on the GATE output. GATE output duty-cycle is dependent
upon system line and load conditions, programmed TON and TOFF times, and SYNC-pulse timing (if applicable).
7.4.4 Light-Load Mode
Light-load mode is a low-power operating mode similar to sleep mode, except that this mode is entered
automatically based on internal timing conditions. Light-load mode automatically reduces switching losses under
light-load conditions by suppressing GATE output pulses whenever the detected synchronous conduction time is
less than the programmed minimum on-time (TON). VCC current reduces to ICC(on) level. While in light-load
mode, the MOSFET body-diode conduction time is still continuously monitored. When this time is detected to
once again exceed TON, the device resumes run mode on the next switching cycle.
7.4.5 Fault Mode and Other Protections
Fault mode is a self-protection operating mode of the controller when certain types of single-fault conditions are
detected on certain pins. In this mode, the device enters a shut-down state (not sleep mode) and drives the
GATE output low. Specifically, Fault mode is entered if RTON > 301 kΩ or if RTON < 8.7 kΩ. Fault mode prevents
the conditions of excessive or indefinite on-time (such as from an open-pin) and of excessive TON current (such
as from a shorted-pin).
Similar protection is provided for the EN/TOFF pin. While not specifically detected as faults, if this pin becomes
open-circuited TOFF defaults to a minimum value of ≈0.65 µs, and if shorted-to-GND the device enters sleep
mode. Additionally, if the SYNC input is continuously held below its trigger threshold voltage, the GATE output is
held low for the entire duration that SYNC remains in that condition.

8 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The UCC24610 synchronous rectifier controller is optimized for 5-V only applications, but may be used for other
applications (such as LLC converters) where device stresses (such as VD voltage) are not exceeded, and a 5-V
VCC source is available.
The effects of lead inductance on the VDS-sensing turnoff threshold varies with the SR MOSFET package.
Compact packages such as SON, QFN, and similar packages have virtually no significant lead inductance in the
drain connection, very little in the source, and nominal bond-wire inductance in the gate path. Slightly larger
SOIC-derived packages may have 2-nH to 3-nH inductance in the source path. TO-220 and larger packages
have significant lead inductances, which can adversely affect the turnoff point of the SR MOSFET unless the
sensing is compensated for inductance. The falling dI/dt of the current through the SR lead inductance reduces
the sensed VDS voltage and prematurely triggers turnoff. Resistors in the VD and VS sense paths can be used to
compensate for this effect.
8.2 Typical Application
The following application information is applied to the UCC24610 Evaluation Module (EVM), which delivers 5 A at
5 V using an SR MOSFET in a TO-220 package. In this DCM flyback-topology application example, the SYNC
signal is not used. Performance data relevant to the operation of the UCC24610 SR controller are included in this
section for application reference. Refer to Using the UCC24610EVM-563 User's Guide (SLUU434) for additional
details on the overall performance of the EVM. The schematic diagram for the EVM, Figure 22, is provided as an
example of a typical application for the UCC24610.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.2.1 VD and VS Detection
VD and VS are differential inputs used to sense the voltage across the SR-MOSFET to determine when to turn
on and off the GATE output. When the GATE is off, the controller will not drive the GATE on until VD has
exceeded 1.5 V at least once and TOFF has expired. Once these two conditions are met, the controller is armed
to allow the GATE to turn on the next time the drain voltage falls 150 mV below the source voltage (VD – VS =
–150 mV). While the GATE is off, the SR-MOSFET may be blocking reverse current, or forward current may be
building up in the MOSFET body diode. Normally this body-diode current would generate about 700 mV forward
voltage drop (–700 mVDS), but when –150 mV is detected the GATE is turned on to enhance the MOSFET into a
synchronous rectifier. The GATE stays on for at least the minimum on time TON or longer until the SR-MOSFET
current diminishes to near zero. When the current reduces sufficiently such that the VDS voltage drop is only
–5 mV, the GATE output is turned off. (It can be seen that the MOSFET RDS(on) determines the current level at
which the GATE is turned off, which then further factors into determining the light-load mode inception point.) At
the same time, the controller is disarmed to prevent spurious GATE output. Because the MOSFET current is not
yet zero at GATE turn off, the VDS will briefly increase back up to the body-diode drop, however the additional
power loss is very small. The disarmed state of the controller prevents repeated turn on of the GATE (even
though VDS ≤150 mV again). Once the current does decrease to zero, the drain voltage climbs past the 1.5-V
threshold, at which point the minimum off-time interval TOFF is triggered. Once VDS has exceeded 1.5 V and
TOFF has expired, the GATE circuit is rearmed to respond to the next turnon condition.
Because the VD and VS inputs are connected across the SR-MOSFET body diode by way of its package leads,
the high secondary-side dI/dt through the lead inductances can impress excessive negative voltage on the VD
pin. This negative voltage can disrupt normal controller operation and prevent the device from switching. This
problem can be avoided by limiting the current drawn out of the VD pin to less than 100 mA. A resistor placed in
series between VD and the SR-MOSFET drain can be sized to provide the proper current limiting.
This resistor value is calculated by Equation 1.

dISEC/dt is the rate of rise of the secondary current after the primary-side switch turns off.
(1)
Include any stray trace inductance if the device GND pin is not connected directly to the SR-MOSFET source
pad.
The bias current of the VD pin through RVD (if any) generates a small offset voltage that can cause an apparent
shift in the SR-MOSFET turnoff threshold, leading to earlier turn off than desired, depending on the value of RVD.
To counter this offset voltage, a resistor of equal value can be placed in series with the VS pin to balance the
VD–VS comparator inputs (RVS = RVD).
Larger MOSFET packages such as TO-220 and TO-247 generally have significant internal inductances (on the
order of 10 nH ≈ 20 nH), and are used in higher-power applications where dI/dt can be quite high. On the other
hand, low-power applications using smaller packages such as QFN style and even DPAK style or equivalent
MOSFETs can have a sufficiently low L × dI/dt product such that RVD and RVS may not be necessary. Refer to
the MOSFET datasheet or consult with the manufacturer to determine the total inductance for the specific
MOSFET being considered for a synchronous-rectifier application.

8.2.2.2 Enabling and TOFF Programming
The controller must be out of UVLO mode, or the internal current source on EN/TOFF pin is shut off and the pin
is pulled low with an internal 10-kΩ resistor. Before the device is in the Enabled state, the current source on
EN/TOFF delivers 20 μA. Prudent design practice indicates that a minimum REN/TOFF value of 93 kΩ is necessary
to ensure the pin voltage exceeds the disable threshold. After being Enabled, the Enabled state is latched and
the source current reduces to 10 μA. This current level establishes the voltage that determines the TOFF time,
as shown in Equation 2 through Equation 5.
When both the VCC and EN/TOFF conditions are met to enable the device, an internal power-up sequence
ensures that the controller starts the SR-MOSFET synchronously with the system conduction conditions. This
avoids turnon of the SR-MOSFET into an inappropriate system state. After a ≈25-μs delay to allow internal
references to stabilize, SR operation commences in light-load mode and the load condition is monitored at the
first complete switching cycle after the delay to determine the next operating mode.
Because VDS of the SR-MOSFET may ring above 1.5 V and back below –150 mV one or more times (due to
circuit parasitic elements), TOFF time should be programmed to block GATE re-arming for the duration of this
ringing. In a system, the duration of this ringing may be unknown until actual prototypes are operational and
observable, so a longer TOFF time may be initially programmed and the final value adjusted after system
evaluation and optimization.
Nominal TOFF off time is programmed by Equation 2 through Equation 5, where TOFF is in μs and REN/TOFF is in
MΩ.

8.2.2.3 TON Programming
The voltage on this pin is internally regulated to 2 V, and an external resistor to GND sets a current which
programs the minimum on time TON. If a noise-filter capacitor is deemed to be necessary on this pin, do not
exceed 100 pF to avoid instability of the 2-V regulator.
Because VDS of the SR-MOSFET may ring above –5 mV one or more times immediately after turn on (due to
circuit parasitic elements) TON time should be programmed to block GATE turn off for the duration of this
spurious ringing. In a system, the duration of this ringing may be unknown until actual prototypes are operational
and observable, so a longer TON time may be initially programmed and the final value adjusted after system
evaluation and optimization.

8.2.2.4 GATE Drive and RGATE Considerations
The GATE output driver is capable of sourcing >1-A peak current into the SR-MOSFET gate, and sinking >2 A
out of it. Standard low-inductance, low-loop-area design techniques should be employed to minimize stray
inductance, which slows the MOSFET turn on and increases gate-drive ringing.
A series resistance RGATE from the GATE output to the MOSFET gate is used to damp this ringing, and its value
is chosen based on the standard critical damping formula for a series-LCR resonant tank, see Equation 10.

8.2.2.5 VCC Range and Bypassing Considerations
With a normal operating range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V, the device is well suited for 5-V nominal output applications and
can easily accommodate ±10% transient VCC excursions due to system line and load disturbances. When the
average VCC voltage approaches the VCC(off) threshold (UVLO), system ripple and noise on VCC may cross that
threshold and shut down the controller unless adequate decoupling is provided from VCC to GND at the
controller pins.
High peak gate-drive currents during the GATE turnon transition also require sufficient local capacitive bypassing
of the VCC pin to GND. For smaller SR-MOSFETs a minimum value of 0.1 μF may be sufficient, but larger
MOSFETs may require additional bypass capacitance to avoid excess ripple on the VCC voltage.
Suggested VCC bypass capacitance is 0.1 μF for each 2.2 nF of Ciss.
8.2.2.6 SYNC Input Considerations
In applications where the synchronous rectifier is used in continuous conduction mode (CCM) such as CCMFlyback and LLC converters, it is imperative that the SR-MOSFET be turned off as soon as the primary-side
switch turns on, to prevent reverse conduction of the SR-MOSFET. In these applications, a Y-type isolating
capacitor CSYNC can be used to convey a primary-side signal to the SR controller by coupling a negative-going
trigger voltage into the SYNC pin. Alternatively, an isolating pulse transformer may be used in situations where a
coupling capacitor is not practicable. When the SYNC voltage falls 2 V below VCC (the SYNC detection
threshold VTHSYNC), the GATE output is immediately turned off, regardless of the state of the TON timer. An
internal 2-kΩ pullup resistance (rSYNC) provides current to recharge the SYNC coupling capacitor. In the event
that the SYNC input voltage is continuously held below VTHSYNC, the GATE output is driven low for the same
duration.
The SYNC input has a maximum pulse current rating of ±100 mA, and a high-reliability design should reduce the
peak current further. This also reduces noise and signal losses in the system. A series resistor helps limit the
pulse current by reducing the effective dV/dt across CSYNC. Figure 23 illustrates a simple implementation of the
SYNC signal derived from the falling drain-source voltage of the primary-side MOSFET. In this example, a
synchronous-rectifier MOSFET is used in place of the free-wheeling diode in a single-transistor forward-mode
application. Note that primary-to-secondary common-mode capacitance CCM forms the return path for the SYNC
current.
Nominally, only –1 mA is required to develop –2 V across the internal 2-kΩ resistance and trigger the SYNC
function. This current is generated by a rapidly changing voltage across the SYNC coupling capacitor CSYNC. But
variations of this resistor, of CSYNC, and of the dV/dt across CSYNC require that worst-case tolerances be taken
into account when determining the minimum value of CSYNC. In addition, VSYNC must exceed the VTHSYNC
threshold for a minimum duration of 20 ns to ensure that the internal controller logic has reliably triggered.
Although the TON minimum on-time gate-drive function is overridden by the SYNC signal, the timer continues to
function otherwise. Light-load mode is entered if the proper conditions are met, as usual. The TOFF timer is
triggered when the SR-MOSFET VDS exceeds 1.5 V, as usual.

Figure 23. Driving the SYNC Input from the Primary-Side MOSFET Drain
CSYNC is the synchronization signal coupling capacitor, rated to cross the primary-to-secondary isolation
boundary. It is used to couple a negative-going voltage into the UCC24610 SYNC input (pin 1) to turn off the
GATE output to the SR-MOSFET when the primary-side MOSFET is turned on.
RSYNC is an optional external current-limiting resistor used to reduce the peak current into the SYNC input. It also
serves to reduce overall power loss, and reduce the common-mode noise current.
CCM is the main common-mode capacitance between the primary and the secondary sides of the system. This is
usually a discrete component, whose value ranges from 100 pF ≈2200 pF. Aside from any EMI-control purposes,
it also serves as the return path for the SYNC signal charging and discharging current pulses across the isolation
boundary.
Within the UCC24610 controller device is a 2-kΩ pullup resistor (rSYNC) to VCC. To trigger the SYNC function, a
negative-going signal must pull the SYNC input below the VTHSYNC threshold (nominally 2 V below VCC) for a
minimum duration of 20 ns. This requires a minimum 1-mA current to achieve, but prudent design will target a
higher current to allow for parameter variations.
Internal clamp diodes to VCC and GND also form parts of the charging and discharging current paths of the
SYNC signal. Finally, CPIN comprises stray internal and external pin and pad capacitances on the SYNC input,
and is modeled as ≈10 pF to GND. Although CPIN is physically unavoidable, it is wise to minimize any external
stray capacitance to keep its effect of additional delay on the SYNC function to a minimum.

8.2.2.6.1 Determine the Minimum Change
Determine the minimum change in voltage ΔVSYNC-pri expected from the SYNC signal source. In this example, the

To allow for parameter and environmental variations, set the minimum peak SYNC current to 2 mA. With 2-mA
peak flowing through the internal 2-kΩ resistor, the SYNC voltage falls to 4-V below VCC. The maximum value

8.2.2.6.2 After the ΔVDS_PRI Transition
After the ΔVDS_PRI transition, the SYNC signal will begin to reset back to VCC by charging exponentially. This
allows the value of the SYNC coupling capacitor CSYNC to be determined by Equation 13.
CSYNC =
1.5 ´ tMIN
RSYNC + rSYNC
(13)
The value of CSYNC is chosen to ensure that the SYNC signal stays below the SYNC threshold for at least 20 ns.
Choose the minimum dwell time tMIN to be 40 ns to allow for parametric variations, shown in Equation 14.
CSYNC =
1.5 ´ 40ns
RSYNC + 2kW
(14)
8.2.2.6.3 The Value of CCM
The value of CCM should be much higher than that of CSYNC. If necessary, increase the value of CCM to ensure
that CCM >> CSYNC; do not decrease CSYNC.
8.2.2.6.4 Conservative Power-Loss Estimates
Conservative power-loss estimates for the internal and external SYNC resistances are:

where

fSW is the converter switching frequency.
(16)
These calculations can be used to predict the maximum thermal impact of the SYNC current on the device
junction temperature and to determine the external SYNC resistor power rating. Actual SYNC-related losses
generally are lower than these calculations predict and observations of actual circuit operation should be used to
determine true losses if more accuracy is required.
8.2.2.6.5 The Device Internal SYNC-to-GATE Delay Time
The device internal SYNC-to-GATE delay time tSDLY is a measure of how quickly the GATE output will turn off
after the SYNC signal has crossed the VTHSYNC threshold. However, stray pin capacitance CPIN introduces an
additional delay to the SYNC function by slowing the SYNC voltage falling 2-V below VCC. If CPIN is small, this
delay is relatively short and the SYNC current can be approximated as a constant current, allowing this
calculation to simplify to a simple linear equation given by:
tPIN _ DLY =
2 V ´ CPIN
iSYNC
(17)
Also, additional delay comes from the finite dV/dt of the signal source, in this case VDS_PRI, due to the finite
transition time from VBULK level to 0 V. This delay can be approximated by:
t dV _ DLY =
Dt f ´ RSYNC
RSYNC + rSYNC
(18)
These delay times should be added to the internal SYNC-to-GATE delay to determine the total delay time
expected between the falling of the primary-side MOSFET drain voltage and the turn off of the SR-FET gate
drive.
t OFF _ DLY = t SDLY + tPIN _ DLY + t dV _ DLY

8.2.2.6.6 The CSYNC Capacitor Resets
The CSYNC capacitor resets during the off-time of the primary-side MOSFET, while the SR-FET is conducting.
The reset current iSYNC_RESET is similar to iSYNC. However, this reset current flows through the internal diode

8.2.2.7 Single-Fault Self-Protection Features
If RTON is less than 8.7 kΩ, the device may detect excess current and interpret this as a short-cir cuit and disable
the GATE output.
If RTON is greater than 301 kΩ, the device may detect insufficient current and interpret this as an open-circuit and
disable the GATE output, to avoid indefinite on-time.
Noise pick-up on excessive trace length may destabilize the internal 2-V source causing either insufficient or
excess current to RTON and triggering premature GATE shut off. This could cause GATE output to be less than
TON and lead to light-load mode even at heavy loads. Minimize RTON trace lengths.
If REN/TOFF is less than 93 kΩ, the device may detect insufficient voltage for Enable threshold and disable the
GATE output.
If REN/TOFF is greater than 284 kΩ, the device will internally clamp the programming voltage to deliver a minimum
TOFF of ≈0.65 µs, regardless of REN/TOFF value.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The UCC24610 in nominally a 5-V only controller as regards to the VCC bias supply rating. Although the
absolute maximum rating for VCC is 6.5 V, it is recommended to operate the device with VCC < 5.5 V to allow
margin for voltage-rail transients and surges. Although the device may typically function with VCC down to 4.2 V,
it is recommended to operate the device at VCC ≥ 4.5 V to provide adequate gate-drive to the SR MOSFET. Use
a ceramic bypass capacitor from VCC to GND of suitable value to provide the total gate charge each switching
cycle.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
The printed circuit board (PCB) requires conscientious layout to minimize current loop areas and track lengths,
especially when using single-sided PCBs.
• Place a ceramic MLCC bypass capacitor as close as possible to VCC and GND.
• Avoid connecting VD and VS sense points at locations where stray inductance is added to the SR MOSFET
package inductance, as this will tend to turn off the SR prematurely.
• Run a track from the VD pin directly to the MOSFET drain pad to avoid sensing voltage across the stray
inductance in the SR drain current path. Include an RVD component option in series with the VD pin unless
previous testing has shown that it is not necessary.
• Run a track from the VS pin directly to the MOSFET source pad to avoid sensing voltage across the stray
inductance in the SR source current path. Do not simply connect VS to the controller GND pin. Include an
RVS component option in series with the VS pin unless previous testing has shown that it is not necessary.
• Run parallel tracks from GATE and GND to the SR MOSFET. Include a series gate resistance to dampen
ringing.

including, but not limited to, reference designs and materials relating to evaluation modules, (collectively, “TI Resources”) are intended to
assist designers who are developing applications that incorporate TI products; by downloading, accessing or using TI Resources in any
way, Designer (individually or, if Designer is acting on behalf of a company, Designer’s company) agrees to use any particular TI Resource
solely for this purpose and subject to the terms of this Notice.
TI’s provision of TI Resources does not expand or otherwise alter TI’s applicable published warranties or warranty disclaimers for TI
products, and no additional obligations or liabilities arise from TI providing such TI Resources. TI reserves the right to make corrections,
enhancements, improvements and other changes to its TI Resources. TI has not conducted any testing other than that specifically
described in the published documentation for a particular TI Resource.
Designer is authorized to use, copy and modify any individual TI Resource only in connection with the development of applications that
include the TI product(s) identified in such TI Resource. NO OTHER LICENSE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY ESTOPPEL OR OTHERWISE
TO ANY OTHER TI INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT, AND NO LICENSE TO ANY TECHNOLOGY OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
RIGHT OF TI OR ANY THIRD PARTY IS GRANTED HEREIN, including but not limited to any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Information
regarding or referencing third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services, or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of TI Resources may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
TI RESOURCES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITH ALL FAULTS. TI DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR
REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING RESOURCES OR USE THEREOF, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS, TITLE, ANY EPIDEMIC FAILURE WARRANTY AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHTS. TI SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR AND SHALL NOT DEFEND OR INDEMNIFY DESIGNER AGAINST ANY CLAIM,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY INFRINGEMENT CLAIM THAT RELATES TO OR IS BASED ON ANY COMBINATION OF
PRODUCTS EVEN IF DESCRIBED IN TI RESOURCES OR OTHERWISE. IN NO EVENT SHALL TI BE LIABLE FOR ANY ACTUAL,
DIRECT, SPECIAL, COLLATERAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES IN
CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF TI RESOURCES OR USE THEREOF, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER TI HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Unless TI has explicitly designated an individual product as meeting the requirements of a particular industry standard (e.g., ISO/TS 16949
and ISO 26262), TI is not responsible for any failure to meet such industry standard requirements.
Where TI specifically promotes products as facilitating functional safety or as compliant with industry functional safety standards, such
products are intended to help enable customers to design and create their own applications that meet applicable functional safety standards
and requirements. Using products in an application does not by itself establish any safety features in the application. Designers must
ensure compliance with safety-related requirements and standards applicable to their applications. Designer may not use any TI products in
life-critical medical equipment unless authorized officers of the parties have executed a special contract specifically governing such use.
Life-critical medical equipment is medical equipment where failure of such equipment would cause serious bodily injury or death (e.g., life
support, pacemakers, defibrillators, heart pumps, neurostimulators, and implantables). Such equipment includes, without limitation, all
medical devices identified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as Class III devices and equivalent classifications outside the U.S.
TI may expressly designate certain products as completing a particular qualification (e.g., Q100, Military Grade, or Enhanced Product).
Designers agree that it has the necessary expertise to select the product with the appropriate qualification designation for their applications
and that proper product selection is at Designers’ own risk. Designers are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory
requirements in connection with such selection.
Designer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages, costs, losses, and/or liabilities arising out of Designer’s noncompliance with the terms and provisions of this Notice.
