Primary-Side Synchronous Rectifier (SR) Trigger Solution  
for Dual-Forward Converter  
Introduction  
In any switching converter, rectifier diodes are used to  
obtain DC output voltage. The conduction loss of diode  
rectifier contributes significantly to the overall power losses  
in a power supply; especially in low output voltage  
applications, such as personal computer (PC) power  
supplies. The conduction loss of a rectifier is proportional to  
the product of its forward-voltage drop and the forward  
conduction current. Using synchronous rectification (SR)  
where the rectifier diode is replaced by MOSFET with  
proper on resistance (RdsON), the forward-voltage drop of a  
synchronous rectifier can be lower than that of a diode  
rectifier and, consequently, the rectifier conduction loss can  
be reduced.  
signals for the secondary-side SR driver FAN6206.  
FAN6210 also provides drive signal for the primary-side  
power switches by using an output signal from the PWM  
controller. FAN6210 can be combined with any PWM  
controller that can drive a dual-forward converter. To obtain  
optimal timing for the SR drive signals, transformer winding  
voltage is also monitored. To improve light-load efficiency,  
green-mode operation is employed, which disables the SR  
turn-on trigger signal, minimizing gate drive power  
consumption at light-load condition.  
This application note describes the design procedure of SR  
circuit using FAN6210 and FAN6206. The guidelines for  
printed circuit board (PCB) layout and a design example  
with experiment results are also presented.  
The highly integrated FAN6210 is a primary-side SR  
controller for dual-forward converter that provides control

APPLICATION NOTE  
1. FAN6210 External Component Setting  
Figure 4 and Figure 5 show the detailed timing diagrams of  
XP and XN for the rising edge and falling edge of the SIN  
signal. The delay from the rising edge of SOUT to XP  
signal rising edge (tDLY_XP) is programmable using R1, as  
shown in Figure 1. The linear relationship between R1 and  
Figure 2 and Figure 3 show the simplified schematic of two  
switch forward converters and their waveforms. The  
rectifying SR (SR1) should be turned on right after the  
primary-side MOSFETs are turned on. Then, SR1 should be  
turned off right before the primary-side MOSFETs are  
turned off. The freewheeling SR (SR2) should be turned on  
right after the primary-side MOSFETs are turned off. Then,  
SR2 should be turned off right before the primary-side  
MOSFETs are turned on. The primary-side SR trigger  
controller FAN6210 generates XN and XP signals, where  
XN rising edge triggers the turn-off of SR and XP rising  
edge triggers the turn-on of SR. FAN6210 generates XP and  
XN signals two times for each in one switching cycle and  
FAN6206 in the secondary side determines which SR  
MOSFET should be controlled for each XP and XN signals  
within one switching cycle.  
tDLY_XP is shown in Figure 6.  
The transformer winding voltage is much higher than the  
voltage rating of FAN6210 during PWM turn-on time.  
Therefore, R2 and D1 are used to block the high voltage, as  
shown in Figure 1. Since there is a 400ns DET falling-edge  
detection window after SOUT falls to prevent mis-  
triggering of XP in DCM operation, too large value of R2  
does not trigger XP properly due to too large RC time  
delay. It is typical to use 10k~33kfor R2.  
The other requirement for triggering XP signal is that the  
HIGH level of the DET signal must be higher than 3V. To  
shorten the falling time from HIGH level to LOW level,  
the breakdown voltage of Zener diode D2 is recommended  
as 5~6V.

APPLICATION NOTE  
To protect the XP and XN pins from transient voltage  
spikes; components R3, R4, D3, D4, D5, and D6 are necessary  
(shown in Figure 1). R3 and R4 are recommended as 10.  
D3~D6 are chosen as Fairchild diode 1N4148.  
At the secondary side, R5 is connected between the SP and  
SN pins for reducing the overshoot caused by PT. The  
proper value of R5 is 1k~10kfor most of applications.  
FAN6206 External Components Setting  
FAN6206 needs only four resistors to achieve winding  
detection and linear-predict control (LPC). Voltage divider  
with R6 and R7 detects the voltage across the drain-to-source  
terminal of Q1, while the other divider with R8 and R9  
detects the voltage across the drain-to-source terminal of  
Q2. Figure 9 shows the typical waveform under CCM  
operation, which includes rectifying SR MOSFET drain  
voltage (Vds-R), freewheeling SR MOSFET drain voltage  
(Vds-F), inductor current (ILo), SR control signals (SP & SN),  
and SR gate signals. The detected signal on LPC1 and  
LPC2 pin determines the operation of synchronous  
rectification.  
Figure 6. Programmable Delay with Resistor R1  
2. Pulse Transformer (PT)  
The differential SR control XP-XN is delivered from  
FAN6210 to FAN6206 through a pulse transformer (PT), as  
shown in Figure 7. For the proper signal transfer, the core  
should have high initial permeability (μi). To separate  
primary-side and secondary-side windings, isolation is also  
necessary. It is typical to have the same number of turns for  
the primary and secondary to maximize the coupling. As the  
inductance of the winding decreases, the magnetizing  
increases, causing the voltage drop in the primary winding,  
as shown in Figure 8. The HIGH level of XP or XN signal  
should be higher than 4V to ensure proper SR gate driving.  
Meanwhile, too many turns may increase the inter-winding  
capacitance and, therefore, the inductance value should be  
determined properly. Typically, the inductance value is  
recommended as 100μH~300μH.  
The voltage divider scale-down factors are defined as:  
R7  
RatioLPC1  
RatioLPC2  
=
=
(1)  
(2)  
R6 + R7  
R9  
R8 + R9  
2.1 Rectifying SR Gate Drive  
Linear-predict control (LPC) is not essential for rectifying  
SR because rectifying SR is always turned off by the SN  
signal. Voltage divider with R6 and R7 is used to detect the  
HIGH/LOW status of Vds-R, as shown in Figure 9. The  
HIGH level threshold voltage for LPC1 is 2V, so the  
plateau voltage of LPC1 should be higher than 2V. To  
guarantee stable operation, the minimum plateau voltage of  
LPC1 is suggested to be 3V. However, LPC pin is a low-  
voltage pin, so the proper operation range is from 3V to 5V.  
Therefore:

APPLICATION NOTE  
RatioLPC2 gets too much higher, freewheeling SR is still  
turned on after ILo decreases to zero. Therefore, negative ILo  
is generated. Abnormal voltage on VdsR is derived from  
negative ILo and exceeds the Vds rating of MOSFET in DCM  
operation. It’s important to determine RatioLPC2 properly.  
For normal LPC operation, the value of R7 and R9 are  
recommended as 4.7k~15k. R6 and R8 can be calculated

2.2 Freewheeling SR Gate Drive  
Once the forward converter enters discontinuous conduction  
mode (DCM) at light-load condition, the current through the  
freewheeling SR decreases to zero before the turn-off  
command by XN signal is given. Thus, the current can flow  
in the reverse direction if the freewheeling SR is not turned  
off before the current changes direction. LPC function is  
necessary to turn off the free-wheeling SR before the output  
inductor current reaches zero in DCM operation.

Voltage divider with R8 and R9 determines the turn-off  
timing of freewheeling SR. For proper LPC operation, the  
LPC pin voltage should be normalized to the nominal  
output voltage. The scale-down factor of the voltage divider  
should be 1/VO.

The power supply source of FAN6206 is provided from  
output voltage terminal (Vo). To keep FAN6206 away from  
output current interference, the VDD pin is suggested not to  
be connected to Vo directly. In PC power applications, the  
supervisor IC is applied to manage the protection of  
secondary side. Output terminal Vo is connected to the  
supervisor to achieve protection under abnormal conditions.  
Therefore, Vo detecting terminal of the supervisor IC can be  
used as the power source of the VDD pin. Adding a  
capacitor C2 between the VDD pin and the GND pin can  
keep the VDD pin away from noise. Adding a capacitor C1  
is also recommended for the VDD pin of FAN6210. The  
recommended value for C1 and C2 is 100nF~1μF.  
Figure 10 shows the typical waveform in DCM operation.  
In proper designs, freewheeling SR is turned off before ILo  
decreases to zero. RatioLPC2 determines the internal charge  
current of LPC function. Figure 11 shows the relationship  
between RatioLPC2 and freewheeling SR gate drive signal.  
The voltage level detected by the LPC2 pin (Vo/n)  
determines the internal charge current ICHG. If RatioLPC2  
becomes smaller, ICHG decreases. The voltage level of the  
VDD pin determines the internal discharge current IDISCHG  
.
However, IDISCHG does not vary with RatioLPC2. Therefore,  
the discharging period is shortened. The turn-off instant of  
freewheeling SR gets earlier when RatioLPC2 gets lower. If

APPLICATION NOTE  
Printed Circuit Board Layout  
In Figure 12, the power traces are marked as bold lines.  
Good PCB layout improves power system efficiency,  
minimizes excessive EMI, and prevents the power supply  
from being disrupted during surge/ESD tests.  
ƒ As indicated by 8, FAN6206 control circuits’ ground  
should be connected together, then to the GND pin of  
FAN6206.  
ƒ As indicated by 9, the GND pin of FAN6206 should  
be connected to the source of Q1 and Q2 separately.  
Keeping trace 9 short and direct can maintain the  
ground level between MOSFET and GND pin closed.  
Thus, the SR control signal can be kept away from  
error triggering.  
Guidelines  
ƒ For PC power applications, the PFC/PWM combination  
controller is usually separated from main board and is  
applied at  
a daughter board. FAN6210 is also

are connected to the negative terminal of Co. Keep  
trace 10 short, direct, and wide.  
recommended to be placed on the same daughter board.  
As indicated by 1 and 2, FAN6210 control circuits’  
ground should be connected together and to the GND  
pin of FAN6210 first, then the GND pin to ground of  
PFC/PWM combination controller.  
ƒ As indicated by 11, Vo is connected to the supervisor  
IC. As indicated by 12, the power supply source of  
FAN6206’s VDD pin is connected to the detection  
terminal of supervisor IC. Trace 11 should be long  
and far away from Vo terminal. It’s helpful to prevent  
LPC mechanism from output current interference.  
ƒ As indicated by 7, the negative terminal of Co is  
connected to case directly.  
ƒ As indicated by 3 and 4, PFC/PWM combination  
controller’s ground and PWM MOSFETs’ ground are  
connected to the negative terminal of Cbulk. Keep trace 4  
short, direct, and wide.  
ƒ A Y-cap between the primary and secondary is  
necessary for PC power applications. As indicated by 5  
and 6, the Y-cap is suggested on the low-side, where it  
is between the negative terminal of Cbulk and case.  
Connecting trace 6 directly to case is helpful to surge  
immunity. According to the safety requirements, the  
creepage between the two pointed ends should be at  
least 5mm. The Y-cap should be far away from PT.

APPLICATION NOTE  
Design Example  
The following example is a 12V/300W PC power supply, in  
which the dual-forward topology is used. As Figure 13  
shows, the FAN4801 integrated CCM PFC/PWM  
combination controller is used as the controller for both PFC  
stage and PWM stage.

The basic system parameters are listed in Table 1.The two-  
level Vbulk is derived from FAN4801. The typical voltage  
level for Vbulk is 380V; but under low-line and light-load  
condition, Vbulk is 310V for decreasing power loss at the  
PFC stage. The typical switching frequency (fs) is 65kHz for  
both PFC and PWM stage.

Typical Switching Frequency (fs)  
In addition to low-line and light-load condition, Vbulk is  
boosted to 380V. The turn ratio n for of TX1 is 11, hence the  
Vds voltage during PWM turn-on period is 380/11=34.55V.  
According to Equation 4, RatioLPC2 = 1/11.5. The divided  
voltage on LPC2 is 3.00V. According to Equation 3, the  
plateau divided voltage on LPC1 during PWM turn-off  
period should be between 3V~5V. Select RatioLPC2 = 1/7.8,  
then the divided voltage is 4.43V. Select R9 = 10kand R8  
= 105k, then R7 = 10kand R6 = 68k. Under low-line  
and light-load condition, Vbulk is decreased to 310V. The  
divided voltage on LPC2 is 2.45V, while the divided voltage  
on LPC1 is 3.61V.  
In a typical PC power application, multi-output is necessary.  
If the 12V output terminal is used to generate other output  
terminals, SG6520 can be the proper supervisor IC. The  
power supply of the supervisor is from 5V standby output  
terminal. Flyback topology is the general structure for  
standby power. The following measurements include  
standby loading. FAN6751 is chosen to be the PWM  
controller of standby stage.  
From the specification, all critical components are treated  
and final measurement results are given. Base on the design  
guideline, the critical parameters are calculated and  
summarized in Table 2.
