SP6012

Synchronous Rectifier Driver

DESCRIPTION APPLICATIONS
The fundamental of SP6012 synchronous rectifier  Servers & workstations
(SR) driver IC is based on our U.S. patented
methods that utilize the principle of “prediction”  Storage area network power supplies
logic circuit. The IC deliberates previous cycle  Telecommunication converters
timing to control the SR in present cycle by
“predictive” algorithm that makes adjustments to  Embedded systems
the turn-off time, in order to achieve maximum  Industrial & commercial systems using
efficiency and avoid cross- conduction at the same high current processors
time. It also maintains the MOSFET’s body diode
conduction at minimum level. The SP6012 is
capable to adapt in almost all existing forward
converters with few adjustments considered
necessary.

FEATURES PIN CONFIGURATION (SOP-10)

 Offers 4 to 8% efficiency improvement over
Schottky Diodes (depend on drive
configuration of the SR).

 Drives all level Power MOSFET.

 Prediction gate timing control.

 Minimum MOSFET body diode conduction.

 Operating frequency up to 650 KHz.

PART MARKING (SOP-10)
 Synchronize to transformer secondary voltage
waveform.
