Turn-off Phase

When Vds rises to trigger the turn off threshold (-

30mV), the gate voltage is pulled to low after

about 20ns turn off delay (defined in Figure 2) by

the control circuitry. Similar with turn-on phase, a

200ns

blanking

time

is

added

after

the

synchronous MOSFET is turned off to avoid error

trigger.

shows

operation at heavy load condition. Due to the

high current, the gate driver will be saturated at

first, during which the gate driver voltage is kept

driver will be internal clamped at 14V). After Vds

goes to above -70mV, gate driver voltage

decreases to adjust the Vds to typical -70mV.

operation at light load condition. Due to the low

current, the gate driver voltage never saturates

but begins to decrease as soon as the

synchronous MOSFET is turned on and adjust

the Vds.

Light-load Latch-off Function

The gate driver of MP6902 is latched to save the

driver loss at light-load condition to improve

efficiency. When the synchronous MOSFET’s

conducting period keeps lower than light load

and latches off the gate driver. Here the

synchronous MOSFET’s conducting period is

from turn on of the gate driver to the moment

light-load

mode,

MP6902

monitors

the

synchronous MOSFET’s body diode conducting

the light-load mode is finished and gate driver of

MP6902 is unlatched to restart the synchronous

rectification.
