Si9122E
Vishay Siliconix
500-kHz Half-Bridge DC/DC Controller
with Integrated Secondary Synchronous Rectification Drivers
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
Si9122E is a half-bridge controller IC ideally suited to fixed
telecom applications where high efficiency is required at low
output voltages (e.g. < 3.3 V). Designed to operate within the
fixed telecom voltage range of 36 V to 75 V, the IC is capable
of controlling and driving both the low and high-side switching
devices of a half bridge circuit and also controlling the
switching devices on the secondary side of the bridge. Due
to the very low on-resistance of the secondary MOSFETs, a
significant increase in conversion efficiency can be achieved
as compared with conventional Schottky diodes. Control of
the secondary devices is by means of a pulse transformer
and a pair of inverters. Such a system has efficiencies well in
excess of 90 % even for low output voltages.
On-chip control of the dead time delays between the primary
and secondary synchronous signals keep efficiencies high
and prevent shorting of the power transformer. An external
resistor sets the oscillator frequency from 200 kHz to
500 kHz.
Si9122E has advanced current monitoring and control
circuitry which allow the user to set the maximum current in
the primary circuit. Such a feature acts as protection against
output shorting and also provides constant current into large
capacitive loads during start-up or when paralleling power
supplies. Current sensing is by means of a sense resistor on
the low-side primary device.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
To prevent shoot-through current or transformer shorting,
adjustable Break-Before-Make (BBM) time is incorporated
into the IC and is programmed by an external precision
resistor.
Si9122E is assembled in lead (Pb)-free TSSOP-20 and
MLP65-20 packages. To satisfy stringent ambient
temperature requirements, Si9122E is rated to handle the
industrial temperature range of - 40 °C to 85 °C. When a
situation arises which results in a rapid increase in primary
(or secondary) current such as output shorted or start-up
with a large output capacitor, control of the PWM generator
is handed over to the current loop. Monitoring of the load
current is by means of an external current sense resistor in
the source of the primary low-side switch. With the lower
OTP set at 135 °C , the DNF20 package improves the
thermal headroom.
Si9122E is a voltage mode controller for the half-bridge
topology. With 100 V depletion mode MOSFET, the Si9122E
is capable of powering directly from the high voltage bus to
VCC through an external PNP pass transistor, or may be
powered through an external regulator directly through the
VCC pin. With PWM control, Si9122E provides peak
efficiency throughout the entire line and load range. In order
to simplify the design of efficient secondary synchronous
rectification circuitry, the Si9122E provides intelligent gate
drive signals to control the secondary MOSFETs. With
independent gate drive signals from the controller,
transformer design is no longer limited by the gate to source
rating of the secondary-side MOSFETs. Si9122E provides
constant VGS voltage, independent of the line voltage to
minimize the gate charge loss as well as conduction loss.

DETAILED OPTION
Start-Up
When VINEXT rises above 0 V, the internal pre-regulator
begins to charge up the VCC capacitor. Current into the
external VCC capacitor is limited to typically 40 mA by the
internal DMOS device. When VCC exceeds the UVLO
voltage of 8.8 V a soft-start cycle of the switch mode supply
is initiated. The VCC supply continues to be charged by the
pre-regulator until VCC equals VREG. During this period,
between VUVLO and VREG, excessive load current will result
in VCC falling below VUVLO and stopping switch mode
operation. This situation is avoided by the hysteresis
between VREG and VUVLO and correct sizing of the VCC
capacitor, bootstrap capacitor and the soft-start capacitor.
The value of the VCC capacitor should therefore be chosen
to be capable of maintaining switch mode operation until the
required VCC current can be supplied from the external circuit
(e.g via a power transformer winding and zener regulator).
Feedback from the output of the switch mode supply charges
VCC above VREG and fully disconnects the pre-regulator,
www.vishay.com

isolating VCC from VIN. VCC is then maintained above VREG
for the duration of switch mode operation. In the event of an
over voltage condition on VCC, an internal voltage clamp
turns on at 14.5 V to shunt excessive current to GND.
Care needs to be taken if there is a delay prior to the external
circuit feeding back to the VCC supply. To prevent excessive
power dissipation within the IC it is advisable to use an
external PNP device. A pin has been incorporated on the IC,
(REG_COMP) to provide compensation when employing the
external device. In this case the VIN pin is connected to the
base of the PNP device and controls the current, while the
REG_COMP pin determines the frequency compensation of
the circuit. The value of the REG_COMP capacitor cannot be
too big, otherwise it will slow down the response of the
pre-regulator in the case that fault situations occur and
pre-regulator needs to be turned on again. To understand
the operation, please refer to figure 5.

Si9122E
Vishay Siliconix
The soft-start circuit is designed for the dc-dc converter to
start-up in an orderly manner and reduce component
stresses on the Converter. This feature is programmable by
selecting an external CSS. An internal 20 µA current source
charges CSS from 0 V to the final clamped voltage of 8 V. In
the event of UVLO or shutdown, VSS will be held low (< 1 V)
disabling driver switching. To prevent oscillations, a longer
soft-start time may be needed for highly capacitive loads
and/or high peak output current applications.
avoid this, a dedicated break-before-make circuit is included
which will generate non-overlapping waveforms for the
primary and the secondary drive signals. This is achieved by
a programmable timer which delays the on switching of the
primary driver relative to the off switching of the related
secondary and subsequently delays the on switching of the
secondary relative to the off switching of the related primary.
Typical variations of BBM times with respect to RBBM and
other operating parameters are shown on page 14 and 15.
Reference
Primary High- and Low-Side MOSFET Drivers
The reference voltage of Si9122E is set at 3.3 V. The
reference voltage should be de-coupled externally with
0.1 µF capacitor. The VREF voltage is 0 V in shutdown mode
and has 50 mA source capability.
The drive voltage for the low-side MOSFET switch is
provided directly from VCC. The high-side MOSFET however
requires the gate voltage to be enhanced above VIN. This is
achieved by bootstrapping the VCC voltage onto the LX
voltage (the high-side MOSFET source). In order to provide
the bootstrapping an external diode and capacitor are
required as shown on the application schematic. The
capacitor will charge up after the low-side driver has turned
on. The switch gatedrive signals DH and DL are shown in
figure 3.
Voltage Mode PWM Operation
Under normal load conditions, the IC operates in voltage
mode and generates a fixed frequency pulse width
modulated signal to the drivers. Duty cycle is controlled over
a wide range to maintain output voltage under line and load
variation. Voltage feedforward is also included to take
account of variations in supply voltage VIN.
In the half-bridge topology requiring isolation between output
and input, the reference voltage and error amplifier must be
supplied externally, usually on the secondary side. The error
information is thus passed to the power controller through an
opto-coupling device. This information is inverted, hence 0 V
represents the maximum duty cycle, while 2 V represents
minimum duty cycle. The error information enters the IC via
pin EP, and is passed to the PWM generator via an inverting
amplifier. The relationship between Duty cycle and VEP is
shown in the Typical Characteristic Graph, Duty Cycle vs.
VEP 25 °C , page 12. Voltage feedforward is implemented by
taking the attenuated VIN signal at VINDET and directly
modulating the duty cycle.
At start-up, i.e., once VCC is greater than VUVLO, switching is
initiated under soft-start control which increases primary
switch on-times linearly from DMIN to DMAX over the soft-start
period. Start-up from a VINDET power down is also initiated
under soft-start control.
Half Bridge and Synchronous Rectification Timing
Sequence
The PWM signal generated within the Si9122E controls the
low and high-side bridge drivers on alternative cycles. A
period of inactivity always results after initiation of the softstart cycle until the soft-start voltage reaches approximately
1.2 V and PWM controlled switching begins. The first bridge
driver to switch is always the low-side (DL), as this allows
charging of the high-side boost capacitor.
The timing and coordination of the drives to the primary and
secondary stages is very important and shown in figure 3. It
is essential to avoid the situation where both of the
secondary MOSFETs are on when either the high or the lowside switch are active. In this situation the transformer would
effectively be presented with a short across the output. To

Secondary MOSFET Drivers
The secondary side MOSFETs are driven from the Si9122E
via a center tapped pulse transformer and inverter drivers.
The waveforms from SRH and SRL are shown in figure 3. Of
importance is the relative voltage between SRH and SRL, i.e.
that which is presented across the primary of the pulse
transformer. When both potentials of SRL and SRH are equal
then by the action of the inverting drivers both secondary
MOSFETs are turned on.
Oscillator
The oscillator is designed to operate at a nominal frequency
of 500 kHz. The 500 kHz operating frequency allows the
converter to minimize the inductor and capacitor size,
improving the power density of the converter. The oscillator
and therefore the switching frequency is programmable by
attaching a resistor to the ROSC pin. Under overload
conditions the oscillator frequency is reduced by the current
overload protection to enable a constant current to be
maintained into a low impedance circuit.
Current Limit
Current mode control providing constant current operation is
achieved by monitoring the differential voltage VCS between
the CS1 and CS2 pins, which are connected to a current
sense resistor on the primary low-side MOSFET. In the
absence of an overcurrent condition, VCS is less than lower
current limit threshold VTLCL (typical 100 mV); CL_CONT is
pulled up linearly via the 120 µA current source (IPU) and
both DL and DH switch at half the oscillator set frequency.
When a moderate overcurrent condition occurs (VTLCL < VCS
< VTHCL), the CL_CONT capacitor will be discharged at a rate
that is proportional to VCS - 100 mV by the IPD current
source. Both driver outputs are in frequency fold-back mode
and the switching frequency becomes roughly 20 % of

normal switching frequency. When a severe overcurrent
condition occurs (VTHCL < VCS), the NMOS discharges
CL_CONT capacitor immediately at 2 mA rate and the
CL_CONT voltage will be clamped to 1.2 V disabling both DL
and DH outputs.
Before VCS reaches severe overcurrent condition, a lowering
of the CL_CONT voltage results in PWM control of the output
drive being taken over by the current limit control loop
through CL_CONT. Current control initially reduces the
switching duty cycle toward the minimum the chip can reach
(DMIN). If this duty cycle reduction still cannot lower the load
current, then the switching frequency will start to fold back to
minimum 1/5 of the nominal frequency. This prevents the
on-time of the primary drivers from being reduced to below
100 ns and avoids current tails. If VCS > VTHCL, the switching
will then stop.
With constant current mode control and frequency foldback,
protection of the MOSFET switches is increased. The
converter reverts to voltage mode operation immediately
when the primary current falls below the limit level, and
CL_CONT capacitor is charged up and clamped to 6.5 V. The
soft-start function does not apply during current limit period,
as this would constitute hiccup mode operation.
However, if the divided voltage applied to the VINDET pin is
greater than VCC - 0.3 V, the high-side driver, DH, will stop
switching until the voltage drops below VCC - 0.3 V. Thus, the
resistive tap on the VIN divider must be set to accommodate
the normal VCC operating voltage to avoid this condition.
Alternatively, a zener clamp diode from VINDET to GND may
also be used.
Shutdown Mode
If VINDET is forced below the lower VSD threshold, the device
will enter SHUTDOWN mode. This powers down all
unnecessary functions of the controller, ensures that the
primary switches are off, and results in a low level current
demand from the VIN or VCC supplies.

VIN Voltage Monitor - VINDET
The chip provides a means of sensing the voltage of VIN, and
withholding operation of the output drivers until a minimum
voltage of VREF (3.3 V, 300 mV hysteresis), is achieved. This
is achieved by choosing an appropriate resistive tap between
the ground and VIN, and comparing this voltage with the
reference voltage. When the applied voltage is greater than
VREF, the output drivers are activated as normal. VINDET also
provides the input to the voltage feedforward function.

REDUCTION OF BBM2, 4 AT HIGHER fOSC
The start of a switching period is defined as the turning point
of the oscillator, marked in Figure 7 as A, with the end of a
switching period marked as B. For a half bridge, two
switching periods are required for both the primary high-side
and low-side drivers to operate as shown in Figure 3. For a
given oscillator frequency there is a finite time in which all
events from equation (1) have to occur. These are tdt deadtime duration which is a function of VEP, tpd1 is the
propagation delay from the PWM to SRL (or SRH ) output
going low, tBBM1 (or tBBM3) rise delay, DL (or DH) primary
driver on-time, tpd2 is the propagation delay from PWM to DL
(or DH) output going low and tBBM2(or tBBM4) fall delay.
To mitigate the decrease in set tBBM2 and tBBM4, the
following criteria must be met. The set tBBM2 plus its
associated tpd2 must not exceed 3.4 % of the oscillator
period. The typical tBBM2 and tBBM4 delays are provided in
figure 9 to facilitate setting these delays for a given frequency
with RBBM of 33 kΩ.
tBBM2 + tpd2 < 3.4 % of oscillator period
(2)
tBBM4 + tpd4 < 3.4 % of oscillator period
(3)
It is critical to avoid the condition where the sum of tBBM2(set)
and tpd2 is greater than 6.8 % of oscillator period whereby the
correct sequence of logic signals cannot be guaranteed.
Figure 7 shows the switching cycle for the low side primary
driver and associated synchronous driver and equation (1)
shows the switching time components.
At 500 kHz and maximum duty tpd2 is typically 60 ns.
Tswitch = 1/2tdt + tpd1+ tSRLOFF + 1/2tdt - tpd2- tBBM2

The Si9122E has an improved primary and secondary duty
cycles with typical maximum secondary duty at 93.2 %.
Hence the dead-time is 6.8 % or 136 ns at 500 kHz. Half of
the dead-time is 68 ns and during this time tpd2 plus tBBM2
has to occur before the next transition point of the oscillator
cycle. RBBM contributes 1.2 ns/kΩ to tBBM2; with 33 kΩ this
amounts to 40 ns. If tBBM2 is set beyond the transition point,
SRL will be forced high due to logic conditions and a
reduction in the set tBBM2 will be determined by the half deadtime minus tpd2 and will be independent of the RBBM value as
shown in figure 8.
Note: this applies to tBBM4 as well.
