MP6922—DUAL FAST TURN-OFF INTELLIGENT CONTROLLER
stops switching. The part will return to normal
low after about 20ns turn off delay (defined in
Fig.4) by the control circuitry. Similar with turn-on
phase, a 1.6us blanking time is added after the
switch is turned off, during which the MOSFET is
never turned on to avoid error trigger.
operation after the junction temperature has
dropped to 120oC.
Turn-on Phase
When the switch current flows through the body
diode of the MOSFET, there will be a negative
VDS (VD-VSS) across it (<-500mV), the VDS is
much lower than the turn on threshold of the
control circuitry (-70mV), which then turns on the
MOSFET after 200ns turn-on delay (defined in
Fig.2).
Fig.3 show the MP6922 operation at heavy load
condition. Due to the high current, the driver
voltage will be saturated at first. After VDS goes to
above -70mV, driver voltage decreases to adjust
the VDS to typical -70mV.
Fig.4 show the MP6922 operation at light load
condition. Due to the low current, the driver
voltage never saturates but begins to decrease
as soon as the synchronous power switch is
turned on and adjust the VDS.
As soon as the turn on threshold (-70mV) is
triggered, a blanking time (Minimum on-time:
~1us) will be added during which the turn off
threshold will be changed from 0mV to +50mV.
This blanking time can help to avoid error trigger
on turn off threshold caused by the turn on
ringing of the synchronous power switch.
