Description
The IR11688 is a dual smart secondary-side controller IC optimized to drive two N-Channel power MOSFETs
configured for synchronous rectification in resonant converter applications. Each channel can drive one or multiple
parallel MOSFETs to emulate the behavior of Schottky diode rectifiers, bypassing the body diodes for the majority
of each conduction period to minimize power dissipation and remaining off during the blocking period.
The drain to source voltage of each rectifier MOSFET is sensed to determine the source to drain current and turn
each gate on rapidly at the start of each conduction cycle and off in close proximity to the zero current transitions
for each branch of the output rectifier circuit. Ruggedness and noise immunity are accomplished using an
advanced blanking scheme and double-pulse suppression that allows reliable operation in fixed and variable
frequency applications.
The programmable minimum on time (MOT) function provides flexibility to work over a wide range of switching
frequencies. The cycle-by-cycle MOT protection circuit is able to automatically detect a light or no load condition so
that the gate drives may be disabled to avoid unwanted reverse currents flowing through the MOSFETs.
The IR11688 has a wide Vcc supply voltage range from 4.75V to 18V, enabling its supply to be derived from the
output and eliminating the need for an auxiliary supply circuit in systems with output voltage as low as 5V.
The IR11688 also has very low quiescent current when the gate drives are not switching to offer minimal power
consumption in standby mode.

ICC max = 200uA
UVLO/SLEEP Mode
The IC remains in the UVLO/SLEEP condition until the voltage at the VCC pin first exceeds the VCC turn on
threshold voltage, VCC ON. While in the UVLO/SLEEP state, the gate drive outputs are inactive and only a very small
quiescent current of ICC START is drawn. UVLO mode is accessible from any other state of operation whenever the IC
supply voltage condition of Vcc < VCC UVLO occurs. If during normal operation, the drain inputs remain inactive such
that no edges are detected for a period longer than TWAIT the IC enters SLEEP mode. It remains in a low power
state until woken up by a voltage transition at either VD input.
Normal Mode
The IC enters into normal operating mode when the VCC ON threshold has been exceeded. On entering Normal
Mode from the UVLO Mode the GATE outputs remain disabled until VDS transitions above VTH3 two times. This
ensures that the GATE output cannot be enabled in the middle of a switching cycle since this can cause undesired
reverse conduction. The cycle by cycle minimum on time (MOT) protection circuit also becomes activated to
prevent reverse currents occurring when conduction time is short, which may also happen during system power up
and down. The gate drives will continuously drive the MOSFETs after this startup sequence is completed.

General Description
TM
The IR11688 dual SMART RECTIFIER controller is a high-voltage IC for synchronous rectification designed for
resonant converter applications. As stated, it emulates the operation of two diodes configured with a center tapped
transformer secondary by correctly switching on and off the synchronous rectifier MOSFETs in the two rectifier
circuit branches.
The core of this device consists of two high-voltage drain sensing inputs feeding high speed comparators to
differentially sense the drain to source voltage at each SR MOSFET. The SR MOSFET source to drain current is
detected from the voltage across the conducting body diode or the RDSON resistance when switched on. Internal
control logic allows the corresponding gate drive output to be switched on and off at the correct time to bypass the
body diode for the majority of the conduction period.
The IR11688 further simplifies synchronous rectifier control by offering the following power management features:
• Wide VCC operating range allows the IC to be supplied from the converter output
• Shoot through protection logic that prevents both GATE outputs from ever being high at the same time
• Turn-off phase regulation to compensate for power device package inductance and avoid premature turn-
off
• Optimized negative turn on voltage threshold detection and leading edge noise filter to minimize false
triggering due to ringing oscillations
The IR11688 control technique senses SR MOSFET source to drain voltages comparing them with three different
negative thresholds (VTH1, VTH2 and VTHR) to precisely control gate turn on and off as shown in figure 1:
VGATE
Turn-on phase
When the conduction phase of each SR MOSFET begins, the device is off so therefore current starts to flow
through the body diode producing a negative VDS voltage across it. The body diode has a much higher voltage
drop than the one resulting from the MOSFET on resistance and is therefore sufficient to trigger the turn-on
threshold VTH2.
When either VDS input remains below VTH2 for more than TBon (150ns), the gate of the corresponding SR MOSFET
is driven high, which causes VDS to reduce rapidly to ID x RDSON. The internal delay timer will be reset if VDS rises
above VTH2 before TBon times out. This turn-on blanking time helps to avoid misfiring that could be triggered by high
frequency ringing in DCM operation. The voltage drop at switch on is usually accompanied by some amount of
ringing, which could potentially trigger the input comparator to turn off the gate drive very quickly. However the
minimum on time (MOT) blanking period prevents this. The turn-on blanking time (TBon) and the MOT limit the
minimum conduction time for the secondary rectifiers determining the switching frequency upper limit that the
IR11688 may effectively operate at.

IR11688S
Regulation phase
After the gate has been driven high at switch on, the SR MOSFET remains on until the source to drain current falls
to the level where VDS reaches the regulation threshold VTHR. At the end of the MOT, the gate output is no longer
driven high and reverts to a high impedance state. When VDS<VTHR a weak pull down gradually discharges the
gate voltage held by the SR MOSFET input capacitance. As the gate voltage drops, the MOSFET channel
resistance increases as it enters the linear region. This causes VDS to once again exceed VTHR so that weak pull
down will cease until the conduction current falls to the point where VDS again drops below VTHR. This regulating
process continues so that the conduction period is extended until the current has fallen to a very low level. In this
way premature turn off, which can arise due to parasitic inductances in PCB traces and the MOSFET package, is
prevented. This period of conduction through the SR MOSFET body diodes is thereby reduced to a minimum
improving overall system efficiency.

MOT protection
Under very light load or zero load conditions, the current in the SR MOSFETs becomes discontinuous and may be
shorter than the MOT time in some cases. If this happens, reverse current will flow from the drain to source at the
end of the MOT since the gate drive has been kept on. This reverse current discharges the converter output
capacitor sending energy back to the transformer and resonating to cause voltage ringing at VDS at switch off.
Such ringing may potentially trigger gate turn on leading to further reverse current and subsequent multiple falsely
triggered erroneous gate pulses as illustrated below in Figure 4:

IDS

MOT
Figure 3: Waveform without MOT protection
The cycle-by-cycle MOT protection function detects reverse current at the end of the MOT period and disables the
following gate output pulse preventing further reverse current. The internal comparator and MOT pulse generator
continue to operate under the protection mode even when the gate drive is disabled. This enables the circuit to
continuously monitor the system load current and automatically revert to normal operating mode once the load
current conduction time has again increased to be longer than the MOT. This protection function reduces standby
power losses and can also prevent voltage spikes caused by false triggering at light load.

An external gate clamping circuit is recommended when driving logic level SR MOSFETs. The clamping circuit
keeps the gate voltage below 1V during system power up when the IR11688 is not fully biased in UVLO mode,
especially when Vcc is less than 2V. It is not recommended to drive logic level MOSFETs with the IR11688 without
a safety clamping circuit.
Note the gate regulation feature will be lost when using PNP transistor clamping circuit. Use MOSFET clamping
circuit (figure 7) if regulation function is needed.
