Description
FAN6208 is a synchronous rectification (SR) controller
for isolated LLC or LC resonant converters that can
drive two individual SR MOSFETs emulating the
behavior of rectifier diodes. FAN6208 measures the SR
conduction time of each switching cycle by monitoring
the drain-to-source voltage of each SR and determines
the optimal timing of the SR gate drive. FAN6208 uses
the change of opto-coupler diode current to adaptively
shrink the duration of SR gate drive signals during load
transients to prevent shoot-through. To improve light-
load efficiency, Green-Mode operation is employed,
which disables the SR drive signals, minimizing gate
drive power consumption at light-load condition.
Optimal timing circuits and protection functions are
integrated in an 8-pin SOP package, which allows high-
efficiency power supply design with fewer components.

FAN6208 —Secondary-Side Synchronous Rectifier Controller for LLC Topology
Function Description
Operation Principle
FAN6208 is a secondary-side synchronous rectifier
controller for LLC or LC resonant converters that drive
two synchronous rectifier MOSFETs. Figure 7 is the
simplified circuit diagram of an LLC converter. The
FAN6208 determines SR MOSFET turn-on/off timing by
detecting the drain-to-source voltage of each SR
MOSFET. The key waveforms for LLC resonant
converter for below resonance and above resonance
are shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9, respectively.
Figure 7. Simplified Schematic of LLC Converter
Figure 8. Key Waveforms of LLC Resonant Converter for
Below Resonance Operation
Figure 9. Key Waveforms of LLC Resonant Converter for
Above Resonance Operati on
Timing Estimator
Figure 10 shows the timing diagram for FAN6208. Once
the body diode of SR begins conducting, the drain-to-
source voltage drops to zero, which causes DETL pin
voltage to drop to zero. FAN6208 turns on the MOSFET
after tON-ON-DETL (about 350ns), when voltage on DETL
drops below 2V. As depicted in Figure 11, the turn-on
delay (after tSR-ON-DETL) is the sum of debounce time
(150ns) and propagation delay (200ns).
FAN6208 measures the SR conduction duration (tDETL),
during which DETL stays lower than 2V, and uses this
information to determine the turn-off instant of SR gates
of the next switching cycle. The turn-off timing is
obtained by subtracting a dead time (tDEAD) from the
measured SR conduction duration of the previous
switching cycle. The dead time can be programmed
using a resistor on the RP pin and the relationship
between the dead time and SR conduction duration
(tDETL) for different resistor values on RP pin is given in
Figure 5.

Gate-Shrink Functions
In normal operation, the turn-off instant is determined by
subtracting a dead time (tDEAD) from the measured SR
conduction duration of the previous switching cycle, as
shown in Figure 10. This allows proper driving timing for
SR MOSFETS when the converter is in steady state and
the switching frequency does not change much.
However, this control method may cause shoot-through
of SR MOSFETs when the switching frequency
increases fast and switching transition of the primary-
side MOSFETs takes place before the turn-off
command of SR is given. To prevent the shoot-through,
FAN6208 has gate-shrink functions. Gate shrink occurs
under three conditions:
(a) When insufficient dead time is detected in the
previous switching cycle. When the DETL goes
HIGH within 125ns of detection window after SR
gate is turned off, the SR gate drive signal in the
next switching cycle is reduced by tSHRINK-DT (about
1.25µs) to increase the dead time, as shown in
Figure 12.

(b) When the feedback information changes fast.
FAN6208 monitors the current through the opto-
coupler diode by measuring the voltage across the
resistor in series with the opto-coupler diode, as
depicted in Figure 13. If the feedback current
through the opto-coupler diode increases by more
than 20% of the feedback current of the previous
switching cycle, the SR gate signal is shrunk by
tSHRINK-FD (about 1.4µs) for tD-SHRINK-FD (about 90µs),
as shown in Figure 14.

(c) When the DETL voltage has ringing around zero. As
depicted in Figure 8, the drain voltage of SR has
ringing around zero at light-load condition after the
switching transition of the primary-side switches.
When DETL voltage rises above 2V within 350ns
after DETL voltage drops to zero and stays above
2V longer than 150ns, the gate is shrunk by 1.2µs
(tSHRINK-RNG), as shown in Figure 15.

Ringing Around Zero
RP Pin Function
The RP pin programs the level of green mode and tDEAD.
Figure 16 shows how the mode is selected by the
voltage on the RP pin (open protection, short protection,
and HF/LF mode). When RRP is less than 36K,
FAN6208 operates in low-frequency mode. Green mode
is enabled when tDETL is smaller than 3.75µs. When RRP
is larger than 36K, high-frequency mode is selected
and green mode is enabled for tDETL < 1.90µs. tDEAD can
be also adjusted by a resistor on the RP pin. Figure 5
shows the relationship between tDEAD and tDETL for
different RP resistors.
Figure 16. RP Pin Operation
To handle abnormal conditions for IC pins, the RP pin
also provides open/short protection. When VRP is less
than VRPS (0.3V) or VRP is higher than VRPO (3.65V), the
protection is triggered. Figure 17 shows the RP pin short
protection timing sequence. If VRP < VRPS (0.3V) for
longer than tRPOS (2µs), FAN6208 is disabled. Figure 18
shows the RP pin open protection timing sequence. If
VRP > VRPO (3.65V) for longer than tRPOS (2µs), FAN6208
is disabled.

FAN6208 —Secondary-Side Synchronous Rectifier Controller for LLC Topology
Green Mode
Switching frequency increases in LLC topology at light-
load condition, which increases the power consumption
for the SR gate drive. Green mode reduces power loss
at light load. FAN6208 has two ways to enable green
mode. Green mode is triggered when DETL voltage is
pulled LOW for less than 3.75µs (LF mode) or 1.90µs
(HF mode) for seven switching cycles. FAN6208
resumes normal SR gate driving when DETL voltage is
pulled LOW for longer than 3.75µs (LF mode) or 1.90µs
(HF mode) for seven switching cycles.
When DETL voltage is pulled HIGH for longer than
24µs. This occurs when the LLC resonant converter
operates in burst mode (skipping mode).
Short-Circuit Protection
As depicted in Figure 13, FAN6208 monitors the current
through the opto-coupler diode by measuring the
voltage across the resistor in series with the opto-
coupler diode. When the output of the power supply is
short circuited, the output voltage drops and the cathode
of the shunt regulator (KA431) is saturated to HIGH. No
current flows through the opto coupler diode. The output
short protection is triggered when the voltage between
VDD and FD is smaller than 0.3V, as shown in Figure 19.
Figure 19. Outpu t Short Protection by Feedback
Detection
VDD Pin Over-Voltage Protection
Over-voltage conditions are usually caused by an open
feedback loop. VDD over-voltage protection prevents
damage of SR MOSFET. When the voltage on the VDD
pin exceeds 27V, FAN6208 disables gate output.
Internal Over-Temperature Protection
Internal over-temperature protection prevents the SR
gate from fault triggering in high temperatures. If the
temperature is over 140°C, the SR gate is disabled until
the temperature drops below 120°C.
