AbstractThe ISL6752/54EVAL1Z is a new design based on the ISL6752EVAL1Z but with several design modifications to improve the efficiency from 90% to 95%. The control circuit has been moved off the main board onto a daughter card. Two different daughter cards are provided: one using the ISL6752 and the other using the ISL6754. Both control cards use the Intersil Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) topology. The ISL6752 daughter card features pulse by pulse current limiting, and the ISL6754 daughter card features a patented method for average current limiting that results in a brick-wall current limit profile.

The ISL6752/54EVAL1Z Printed Circuit Board (PCB) layout has also been greatly improved over the ISL6752EVAL1Z. Even though the overall size of the board has been reduced, the copper losses have been reduced as well.

In addition to the ZVS function, this board also incorporates N-Channel FETs as secondary side rectifiers, also known as Synchronous Rectifiers (SR). Power dissipation of the secondary side rectifiers is reduced because the conduction losses of SRs are significantly less than the conduction losses of PN or Schottky diodes.

Block DiagramThe evaluation board is composed of several distinct circuit elements. The three main sections are the ZVS full bridge on the input, the current doubler rectifier on the output, and the controller daughter card. See “Schematics- Main Board, ISL6752/54EVAL1Z” on page 25 and “Schematics - Daughter Card” on page 27 for complete circuit details.

Daughter CardsThe ISL6752 and ISL6754 control ICs are located on their respective daughter cards, as shown in Figures 3 and 4. Both daughter cards have the control ICs on the primary side and the voltage error amplifier on the secondary side. Creepage spacing between the primary and secondary is maintained on the cards.

The ISL6752 and the ISL6754 control ICs are located on the primary side, eliminating the need for two AC line isolating gate drive transformers to drive the primary side bridge FETs. Instead, the low side FETs are driven directly by MOSFET drivers (on the main board), and the high side FETs are driven by a gate drive transformer that only requires operational insulation. Primary side control also simplifies design of the current sensing transformers because they also do not have to be AC line isolating.

A line isolation rated opto-coupler (D5 on the ISL6752DB or D2 on the ISL6754DB) passes the analog error signal generated by the error amplifier, U1, from the secondary to the primary. Opto D3 passes a digital signal from primary to secondary to turn off the SRS for diode emulation.

The only functional difference between the ISL6752 and ISL6754 daughter cards is how current limit is implemented. The ISL6752 uses pulse-by-pulse current limit, and the ISL6754 uses average current limit.

Special test points located on the daughter cards aid in probing nodes on the daughter cards for evaluation. Test points PGND and TP_PRI are located on the primary side, and SGND and TP_SEC are located on the secondary. With these test points, the user can employ the spring-like probe accessories included with many scope probes. The scope signal pin is inserted in TP_PRI (or TP_SEC), and the short spring ground lead is inserted in PGND (or SGND).

To probe any node on the daughter card, solder a 30ga insulated wire between the desired node and the via that is associated with the TP_PRI or TP_SEC test point. This method not only simplifies probing of any node, but also implements the preferred technique of measuring small signals in the presence of high amplitude switching magnetic fields.

The ISL6752DBEVAL1Z and the ISL6754DBEVAL1Z daughter cards are also available as standalone evaluation kits.

ZVS Full BridgeThe low side FETs, Q3 and Q4, are driven directly by the ISL89160 MOSFET driver, U1 (Figure 5). The two high-side FETs, Q1 and Q2, are indirectly driven by the ISL89160 driver, U2. A level translating gate drive transformer, T3, with complementary output windings, directly drives the high-side bridge FETs with a symmetrical square wave. The design of T3 is simplified because it only needs 400V operational insulation, and it is always driven with a square wave, thus eliminating the problems associated with non-symmetrical drive waveforms.

Observe that the ISL89160 MOSFET drivers are located as close as possible to their respective bridge FETs to minimize the detrimental effects of parasitic inductance on the outputs of the drivers. Although the input signal lead lengths between the drivers and the daughter card are relatively long (about 5cm), they are shielded on top and bottom by ground planes to significantly reduce the noise injected on these lines. The

hysteresis of the ISL89160 inputs also reduces the possibility of noise corrupting the gate signals.

High Voltage ProtectionBecause a bridge failure can cause catastrophic damage to the primary side control elements, a voltage crowbar, F1 and D3, and a voltage blocking diode, D4, are incorporated (Figure 6). D3 clamps the bias voltage to a safe level. If 400V are applied to the VDD node, F1 opens shortly after D3 conducts current. D4 provides additional protection by blocking high voltage from being applied to the 13V lab supply. Note that a fully debugged power supply does not need these additional components. These parts are included on the evaluation board to minimize damage if the user accidentally introduces a fault while evaluating the circuits. The designer may want to keep F1 in the final design, to prevent a loud bang if the bridge does fail.

Primary Side Current SensingThe primary side bridge has two current sensing transformers, T2 and T4, one on each leg on the drains of the low-side bridge FETs (Figure 7). Using two transformers allows each CT to reset during alternate half cycles. Alternate current sensing methods are reviewed in “Current Sensing” on page 10.

Synchronous Rectifier Drive CircuitTwo banks of SRs are driven by the ISL89163 MOSFET driver, U4 (Figure 8). An RCD network on the inputs to this driver delays the turn-on of the SRs relative to the turn-off of the primary side bridge FETs.

The ISL89367, U108, can optionally be used to drive the SRs instead of the ISL89163. Review “Schematics - Daughter Card” on page 27 to understand how to disconnect the ISL89163 and connect the ISL89367.

The pulse transformer, T6, crosses the isolation boundary to couple the control signals from the ISL6752/54 to the MOSFET drivers (Figure 9). Note that this transformer also provides the secondary side bias voltage for the MOSFET drivers.

Current Doubler OutputThe current doubler output is composed of two banks of SRs, Q107...Q109 and Q111...Q113; inductors L102 and L103; and output filter capacitors, C133...C136 as shown in Figure 10 on page 7. One advantage of this topology is that the output current is shared by the two inductors, thus reducing conduction losses. Another advantage is that the secondary winding of the power transformer does not require a center tap.

Basic SR PrinciplesReplacing diodes with MOSFETs has two major advantages:

• Dramatically reduces conduction losses

• The applied duty cycle remains practically constant from no load to full load.

The disadvantages are:

• Additional complexity and cost

• Higher reverse recovery losses as compared to fast recovery diodes.

• When paralleling units for redundancy, provisions must be made to prevent current circulation among the paralleled units.

SR Drive Timing RequirementsTo emulate a diode, an SR must be driven ON when a diode would normally be conducting. Unlike a diode, if the SR is ON, the current through the SR can reverse if the voltage on the SR “cathode” becomes positive. The consequence is that if the SR is driven ON when the primary side is sourcing voltage to the secondary, the secondary side will be shorted by the SR.

Figure 11 illustrates the timing required to drive the SRs. Note that the rising edges of the two lower bridge FETs are delayed by the ISL6752/54 relative to the PWM signal. Likewise, the rising edges of the SRs gate signals are delayed by the ISL89163 relative to the falling edge of the PWM signal. These delays are necessary to prevent the overlap of drive signals that would result with high amplitude short circuit currents.

When an SR is turned off while current is flowing from source to drain, the current diverts from the FET channel to the internal body diode. Because the voltage drop across the body diode is higher than the channel, it is desirable to minimize dissipation by minimizing the duration of the current flow through the body diode.

SR Drive and BiasOUTLLN and OUTLRN in Figure 12 are control signals from the ISL6752/54 that are used to drive the SRs. Because the ISL6752/54 is located on the primary side, a pulse transformer, T6, is used to cross the isolation boundary. The simplified schematic of Figure 12 illustrates the use of T6 to not only couple OUTLLN and OUTLRN to the secondary, but also to generate the bias for drivers on the secondary.

When /OUTLLN or /OUTLRN (outputs of EL7212) transitions to a logic high, it is necessary to turn off the associated SR quickly. For example, when /OUTLRN (blue) transitions high, V1 is high, and C10 is quickly discharged by Q100. U4 then drives R-SR off. In a similar manner, when /OUTLLN is high, U4 drives L-SR off.

When /OUTLLN or /OUTLRN transitions to a logic low, it is necessary to turn on the SRs after a time delay, to prevent the SRs from shorting the primary side bridge when it is sourcing current. For example, when /OUTLRN transitions to low, V1 is low and Q100 turns off, allowing C10 to be charged by R27. When the positive threshold of UR is exceeded, the output of U4 drives on R_SR. In a similar manner, the high to low transition of /OUTLLN results in the output of U4 driving on L_SR after a time delay.

Note that the cathodes of D9 are connected together to peak charge C123. Because C123 is large in value, after the initial charging, the voltage does not change significantly from cycle to cycle. An important aspect of generating the bias for U4 in this manner is that the thresholds for the logic transitions on the inputs of U4 are proportional to VBIAS, and the voltage to charge C9 and C10 is also VBIAS. Consequently, the delays generated by the RC networks are independent of the absolute value of VBIAS.

Current Doubler Figure 13 on page 9 illustrates the current flow in the two inductors of the current doubler topology. Current flow in the circuit is correlated with the waveforms by color coding. The green waveform represents the sum of red and blue currents through RLOAD. For circuit clarity, paralleled SRs and output capacitors of the ISL6752/54EVAL1Z board are not shown.

When using diodes (instead of SRs), if the average load current is less than half of the ramp current in the output inductors, the current in the inductors becomes discontinuous, and the duty cycle of the PWM is shortened to maintain the desired output voltage.

When using SRs, the inductor currents in L1 and L2 can become negative because current in SRs can flow bidirectionally; consequently, the duty cycle remains virtually unchanged. The benefit is that the load transient performance is the same for any load from zero up to current limit. Another advantage is that, for very light loads, the duty cycle is not reduced to very small duty cycles, pulse skipping does not occur, and the associated voltage jitter does not occur.

When designing the current doubler topology, the DC resistance of both halves must be equal. The PCB layout must be as symmetrical as possible, and the DCRs of the inductors should be reasonably equal. If not, the current between the two sides does not split equally. Because perfect physical PCB symmetry is not always possible, current sharing between inductors must be confirmed.

In Figure 14 on page 9, inductor current waveforms are taken from the ISL6752/54EVAL1Z board. Current balance between the two inductors was achieved after one board revision. The inductor currents maintain the same waveform shape even at no load.

Another design consideration when using SRs is how to connect the outputs of multiple power supplies in parallel for redundancy or increased power capacity. A consequence of negative current flow in an SR (when a diode would otherwise be reverse biased and off) is that power can be transferred from the secondary to the primary if one of the paralleled outputs has a higher voltage. The voltage loop of the units with lower set point voltages attempts to pull down the voltage by sinking current from the

higher set point units. The primary side bridge capacitor is charged by the secondary side, eventually resulting in excessive voltage damage. This damage can be avoided by using OR-ing diodes (or FETs) on the paralleled outputs. Another solution is to turn off the SRs (Diode Emulation mode) when the current reverses in the SRs, but this eliminates some of the advantages of using SRs. Paralleling features are not implemented on the ISL6752/54EVAL1Z board.

Current SensingCurrent flowing from the secondary to the primary can result in an unanticipated malfunction of the current sensing transformer circuit if reverse SR currents are not considered. Figure 15 shows a commonly used primary side current sensing circuit using one current sensing transformer (CT).

This circuit works well for peak current mode control if power is always flowing from primary to secondary, as is the case when diodes are used instead of SRs. Figure 16 illustrates the performance of the current sensing output when power always flows from primary to secondary.

The voltage across RS is as expected. The vertical dashed lines show when the power cycle is terminated at the required peak of the current.

Figure 17 illustrates what happens at no load to the sense voltage across RS.

Notice that the negative components of the primary transformer current are rectified, resulting in two peaks of current across RS for each half cycle. Under steady state conditions, the rectified negative component may cause erratic performance because the cycle can terminate on the first peak (the inverted peak, as indicated by the vertical red line) instead of the required second peak. This condition can easily be corrected by having a small load across the output to ensure that the negative peak is always less than the positive.

A minimum load, however, does not correct a more serious problem that occurs when there is a large load step from a heavy load to no load. When the load current is interrupted, the output capacitor charges higher than the regulated voltage. As the regulation loop is starting to respond by slewing to a minimum duty cycle, the excessive voltage on the output capacitor starts to discharge back to the primary. This results in a large negative current at the beginning of the duty cycle, which causes the duty cycle to be terminated very early. The imbalance of the applied volt-seconds to the power transformer may saturate the power transformer and damage the power bridge.

Another scenario is that the current sensing transformer itself may saturate, which also damages the bridge. The control loop cannot maintain balanced alternate half cycles applied to the power transformer without valid current sense information.

There are three solutions to this problem.

1. Figure 18 illustrates the placements of two current sensing transformers, one on each drain leg of the bottom FETs.

In this configuration, only positive current flowing into the drains of the bottom FETs are sensed across RS, solving the problem of rectified negative currents being impressed across RS. An advantage of using two CTs is that there is a full half cycle available to reset the cores of the CTs. This is the solution used in the ISL6752/54EVAL1Z board.

2. Figure 19 shows a different current sensing implementation that also solves the problem shown in Figure 15. In this example, both drain currents of the bottom FETs are sensed by only one CT. There are some limitations that must be considered, however. The minimum time available to reset the core is the duration of the selected dead time between the two FETs on the same side of the bridge. To accommodate the resetting of the CT, this dead time can be made longer, but the consequences of reducing the maximum duty cycle available for output voltage regulation must be considered.

If the dead time is kept short, then the peak voltage required for resetting the core is relatively large. For example, assume that the selected dead time is 2% of the duty cycle. The resulting worst-case reset voltage is shown approximately in Equation 1:

In Equation 1, VSMAX is 1V (the current limit voltage of the ISL6752); this is the ideal reset voltage. In practice, however, the parasitic capacitance of the output windings suppresses the peak voltage, and consequently, the reset time increases. If a custom current sensing transformer is designed, the effects of the parasitic capacitance can be minimized by increasing the space between turns. If a standard, off-the-shelf transformer is used, however, the output capacitance may be too large to allow long duty cycles. In this case, the two-transformer solution may be necessary.

Notice in Figure 19 that the 400V RTN is slightly more negative than signal ground. This configuration is recommended for applications that directly drive the bottom FETs with MOSFET drivers. If the 400V RTN and the MOSFET drivers are grounded, regenerative feedback will be present on the output of the MOSFET drivers because of the CT windings in the gate drive loop.

3. A variation on the current sense circuit in Figure 19 is to place the current sensing transformer in the common drain lead of the two high-side FETs, as shown in Figure 20.

The circuits shown in Figures 19 and 20 give exactly the same performance, but the problem associated with the gate drives (as explained in Figure 19) is avoided. The disadvantage of placing the CT at this location is that the CT must be designed with 400VDC operational insulation.

ConclusionThis application note reviews the use of MOSFETs as synchronous rectifiers to replace conventional diodes. The advantages of improved power efficiency and load transient are reviewed along with implementation problems that must be solved.

The use of daughter cards for the ISL6752 and ISL6754 control ICs also allows comparison of cycle-by-cycle peak current limiting and average current limiting.

Evaluation Board SetupThe following sections cover the setup of the ISL6752/54EVAL1Z evaluation board. Also included are waveforms, performance parameters, PCB layout, and schematics.

Setting Up

Lab Equipment Required

• DC bias power supply, 12.6VDC at 200mA minimum

• Adjustable 0VDC-400VDC regulated lab power supply, 2.5ADC minimum with current limit

• Fan to cool heatsinks

• Oscilloscope, digital preferred, with four channels, 20MHz minimum bandwidth

• Adjustable DC load (electronic or resistor), 70A at 12V, 100A at 0V min, >850W

• DC multimeter

• Infrared temperature probe (optional but highly recommended)

Turn-On Procedure

1. Solder a wire between the DISABLE and PGND-1 lugs located on the lower left side of the main board. Optionally connect a switch between these two lugs.

2. Install either of the daughter control cards onto the main board.

3. Connect the DC load to the outputs of the evaluation board. Adjust the load to zero current.

4. With both supplies turned off, connect the DC bias supply to the +13V terminal and PGND.

5. Connect the 400V supply to +400V and 400V RTN.

6. Turn on the DC bias supply and adjust the current limit to 200mA. Adjust the voltage to +12.6 VDC. The lab supply current should be approximately 150mA.

7. Turn on the 400V supply and adjust the current limit to 2.5A. Adjust the voltage to 400VDC. Do not exceed 450VDC. The current should be approximately 45mA.

8. Turn on the fan and direct the air flow through the heatsinks mounted on the bottom of the board.

9. Using the test points that are adjacent to the output power lugs, measure the output voltage of 12V ±0.5VDC.

The output load and input voltage can now be safely adjusted.

Because there is no thermal shut-down circuit, it is important to maintain adequate airflow over the heatsinks, especially when applying large loads. It is recommended to measure the temperature of the power FETs (primary bridge and secondary SRs) to ensure that their temperatures do not exceed +85°C. It is usually necessary to have only a moderate airflow over the heatsinks, even under worst-case loads.

Danger• This evaluation unit should be used and operated only by

persons experienced and knowledgeable in the design and operation of high voltage power conversion equipment.

• Use of this evaluation unit constitutes acceptance of all risk inherent in the operation of equipment having accessible hazardous voltage. Careless operation may result in serious injury or death.

• Use safety glasses or other suitable eye protection.

• A line isolated 400VDC supply is required.

CautionA voltage clamp, D3, is used to protect the primary side control circuit from catastrophic damage if the high voltage bridge fails. To prevent this clamp from conducting, do not adjust the bias supply above 13.5VDC.

WaveformsZVS In Figure 21, the drain-source voltage of the low-side FETs relative to the gate voltage is displayed to highlight the ZVS performance of the bridge. The load is at the rated 50A. Notice that full ZVS is not achieved because the minimum resonance voltage is about 25VDC. Also, the gate drive is turning on late (about 25ns), allowing the resonant voltage to start rising. Even

though the optimum zero voltage switching is not achieved, 98% of the switching losses are still recovered [(4002-502)/4002 = 98%]. This improvement over the ISL6752EVALZ was achieved by increasing the leakage inductance of the transformer and by using bridge FETs with less body capacitance.

In Figure 22, resonant switching with 50% load still saves 84% of the switching losses. Other techniques can be used to improve ZVS performance. For more information, see Application Note AN1246, “Techniques to Improve ZVS Ful-bridge Performance”.

1. Descriptions of circuits, software and other related information in this document are provided only to illustrate the operation of semiconductor products and application examples. You are fully responsible for

the incorporation or any other use of the circuits, software, and information in the design of your product or system. Renesas Electronics disclaims any and all liability for any losses and damages incurred by

you or third parties arising from the use of these circuits, software, or information.

2. Renesas Electronics hereby expressly disclaims any warranties against and liability for infringement or any other claims involving patents, copyrights, or other intellectual property rights of third parties, by or

arising from the use of Renesas Electronics products or technical information described in this document, including but not limited to, the product data, drawings, charts, programs, algorithms, and application

examples.

3. No license, express, implied or otherwise, is granted hereby under any patents, copyrights or other intellectual property rights of Renesas Electronics or others.

4. You shall not alter, modify, copy, or reverse engineer any Renesas Electronics product, whether in whole or in part. Renesas Electronics disclaims any and all liability for any losses or damages incurred by

you or third parties arising from such alteration, modification, copying or reverse engineering.

5. Renesas Electronics products are classified according to the following two quality grades: “Standard” and “High Quality”. The intended applications for each Renesas Electronics product depends on the

product’s quality grade, as indicated below.

"Standard": Computers; office equipment; communications equipment; test and measurement equipment; audio and visual equipment; home electronic appliances; machine tools; personal electronic

equipment; industrial robots; etc.

"High Quality": Transportation equipment (automobiles, trains, ships, etc.); traffic control (traffic lights); large-scale communication equipment; key financial terminal systems; safety control equipment; etc.

Unless expressly designated as a high reliability product or a product for harsh environments in a Renesas Electronics data sheet or other Renesas Electronics document, Renesas Electronics products are

not intended or authorized for use in products or systems that may pose a direct threat to human life or bodily injury (artificial life support devices or systems; surgical implantations; etc.), or may cause

serious property damage (space system; undersea repeaters; nuclear power control systems; aircraft control systems; key plant systems; military equipment; etc.). Renesas Electronics disclaims any and all

liability for any damages or losses incurred by you or any third parties arising from the use of any Renesas Electronics product that is inconsistent with any Renesas Electronics data sheet, user’s manual or

other Renesas Electronics document.

6. When using Renesas Electronics products, refer to the latest product information (data sheets, user’s manuals, application notes, “General Notes for Handling and Using Semiconductor Devices” in the

reliability handbook, etc.), and ensure that usage conditions are within the ranges specified by Renesas Electronics with respect to maximum ratings, operating power supply voltage range, heat dissipation

characteristics, installation, etc. Renesas Electronics disclaims any and all liability for any malfunctions, failure or accident arising out of the use of Renesas Electronics products outside of such specified

ranges.

7. Although Renesas Electronics endeavors to improve the quality and reliability of Renesas Electronics products, semiconductor products have specific characteristics, such as the occurrence of failure at a

certain rate and malfunctions under certain use conditions. Unless designated as a high reliability product or a product for harsh environments in a Renesas Electronics data sheet or other Renesas

Electronics document, Renesas Electronics products are not subject to radiation resistance design. You are responsible for implementing safety measures to guard against the possibility of bodily injury, injury

or damage caused by fire, and/or danger to the public in the event of a failure or malfunction of Renesas Electronics products, such as safety design for hardware and software, including but not limited to

redundancy, fire control and malfunction prevention, appropriate treatment for aging degradation or any other appropriate measures. Because the evaluation of microcomputer software alone is very difficult

and impractical, you are responsible for evaluating the safety of the final products or systems manufactured by you.

8. Please contact a Renesas Electronics sales office for details as to environmental matters such as the environmental compatibility of each Renesas Electronics product. You are responsible for carefully and

sufficiently investigating applicable laws and regulations that regulate the inclusion or use of controlled substances, including without limitation, the EU RoHS Directive, and using Renesas Electronics

products in compliance with all these applicable laws and regulations. Renesas Electronics disclaims any and all liability for damages or losses occurring as a result of your noncompliance with applicable

laws and regulations.

9. Renesas Electronics products and technologies shall not be used for or incorporated into any products or systems whose manufacture, use, or sale is prohibited under any applicable domestic or foreign laws

or regulations. You shall comply with any applicable export control laws and regulations promulgated and administered by the governments of any countries asserting jurisdiction over the parties or

transactions.

10. It is the responsibility of the buyer or distributor of Renesas Electronics products, or any other party who distributes, disposes of, or otherwise sells or transfers the product to a third party, to notify such third

party in advance of the contents and conditions set forth in this document.

11. This document shall not be reprinted, reproduced or duplicated in any form, in whole or in part, without prior written consent of Renesas Electronics.
