The NCP4307 is high performance driver for use with synchronous rectification (SR) MOSFETs

Update: May 21, 2023

The NCP4307 is high performance driver for use with synchronous rectification (SR) MOSFETs in multiple high performance switch mode power supplies topologies. The device will self-supply from an internal 200V CS pin, enabling high side configuration and low VOUT without requiring an auxiliary supply. The dual VCC pin selects the optimal VCC source to minimize losses, thereby optimizing designs for wide range VOUT applications.

Secondary Side Synchronous Rectification Driver for High Efficiency SMPS Topologies

The NCP4307 is high performance driver tailored to control a synchronous rectification mosfet in switch mode power supplies.

Thanks to its high performance drivers and versatility, it can be used in various topologies such as DCM or CCM flyback, quasi resonant flyback and forward.

Internal minimum off−time and on−time blanking periods help to fight the ringing induced by the PCB layout and other parasitic elements. A reliable and noise less operation of the SR system is ensured due to the Self Synchronization feature. The NCP4307 also utilizes Kelvin connection of the driver to the mosfet to achieve high efficiency operation at full load and utilizes a light load detection architecture to achieve high efficiency at light load.

The precise turn−off threshold, extremely low turn−off delay time and high sink current capability of the driver allow the maximum synchronous rectification MOSFET conduction time and enables maximum SMPS efficiency.

Self−supply capability allows to use NCP4307 in high side configuration and/or in low output voltage SMPS without auxiliary winding or other power source.
