Description The ZXGD3101 is intended to drive MOSFETS configured as ideal diode replacements. The device is comprised of a differential amplifier detector stage and high current driver. The detector monitors the reverse voltage of the MOSFET such that if body diode conduction occurs a positive voltage is applied to the MOSFET s Gate pin. Once the positive voltage is applied to the Gate the MOSFET switches on allowing reverse current flow. The detectors output voltage is then proportional to the MOSFET Drain-Source reverse voltage drop and this is applied to the Gate via the driver. This action provides a rapid turn off as current decays.

Gate turn on This pin sources current, I SOURCE, to the synchronous MOSFET Gate. Power Supply This is the supply pin. It is recommended to decouple this point to ground closely with a ceramic capacitor. Ground This is the ground reference point. Connect to the synchronous MOSFET Source terminal. Bias This pin is connected to V CC via resistor, R BIAS. R BIAS should be selected to source 1.6 times I REF into this pin. (Note 9) Drain connection This pin connects directly to the synchronous MOSFET Drain terminal. Notes: 8. REF pin should be assumed to be at GND +0.7V. 9. BIAS pin should be assumed to be at GND +0.3V. 4 of 14

Operation Normal Operation The operation of the device is described step-by-step with reference to the timing diagram below. 1. The detector monitors the MOSFET Drain-Source voltage. 2. When, due to transformer action, the MOSFET body diode is forced to conduct there is approximately -0.6V on the Drain pin. 3. The detector outputs a positive voltage with respect to ground, this voltage is then fed to the MOSFET driver stage and current is sourced out of the GATEH pin. 4. The current out of the GATEH pin is sourced into the synchronous MOSFET Gate to turn the device on. 5. The GATEH output voltage is now proportional to the Drain-Source voltage drop across the MOSFET due to the current flowing through the MOSFET. 6. MOSFET conduction continues until the drain current reaches zero. 7. At zero current the detector output voltage is zero and the synchronous MOSFET Gate voltage is pulled low by the GATEL, turning the device off.

The proper selection of external resistors R REF and R BIAS is important to the optimum device operation. Select a value for resistor R REF to give a reference current, I REF, of ~3mA. The value of R BIAS must then be 0.6 times the value of R REF giving a bias current, I BIAS, of ~1.6 times I REF. This provides a recommended typical offset voltage of ~20mV. External gate resistors are optional. They can be inserted to control the rise times which may help with EMI issues, power supply consumption issues or dissipation within the part. R REF = (V CC -0.7V) / 0.003 R BIAS = (V CC -0.3V) / 0.005 Layout considerations The Gate pins should be as close to the MOSFET Gate as possible. Also the ground return loop should be as short as possible. The decoupling capacitor should be close to the V CC and Ground pin, and should be a X7R type.
