POWER CYCLING

SWITCHING CHARACTERISnCS

These devices possess the unique ability to pass many thousands
of cycles of a stress test designed to evaluate the integrity of the
bonding systems used in the construction of power rectifiers.
In this stress test, the case of the device is not heat sunk. Full rated
'forward current is supplied to force a case temperature increase at
least 75°C, at which time, the current is removed and the case
allowed to cool. The cycle is repeated a minimum of 5,000 times to
simulate equipment being turned on and off. Extended powercycling
tests demonstrate a product capability in excess of 25,000 cycles.

The switching times of these ultra-fast rectifiers increase relatively
little, with temperature or at different currents. Even in severe
applications, such as catch diodes for switching regulators and
output rectifiers for high frequency square wave ~verters, these
devices switch many times faster than the fastest associated
transistors. Thus, the stresses on and powers dissipated in the
switching transistors are substantially less than when using other
rectifiers.

BISVN SYNCHRONOUS RECTIFIER
For Low-Voltage « 5.0V) Loads
FEATURES

DESCRIPTION

• Very Low On Resistance, Typically
14mO

The BISYN is a bipolar junction transistor specifically designed to perform the rectifying
function in the secondary of a switching power supply. Unlike a conventional bipolar,
the BISYN has a much higher emitter·base breakdown voltage (typically 50V) which is
needed for full-wave rectifier circuits. Base drive losses are kept at a minimum by the
relatively high current gain of the BISYN.

• High Reverse Blocking Vecs = 40V
• Can be PWM Controlled to Provide
Regulated Voltage to Load
• Low Temperature Coefficient of On
Resistance

The BISYN's most significant specification feature is its very low forward voltage, 0.3V
@ 20A compared with 0.6V for a typical Schottky.

• Fast Switching Times Permit Ease of
Operation at High Frequency

With a 3V 'Ioad the power loss associated with the Schottky contributes to a 20% reduction in efficiency, while with a synchronous rectifier this loss is reduced to 10% or less.

• High Gain Reduces Base Losses
• Load Regulation is Programmable

DESIGNING FOR MINIMUM POWER DISSIPATION
. particular load current is virtually the same throughout the oper·
ating temperature range.

Although used as a rectifier the BISYN is a three terminal device.
Therefore. the power dissipation due to the On Resistance and
also the dissipation due to the base current must be taken into
consideration. You will notice on Curve 1 that the change in On
Voltage (VCE) at a particular collector current is small even with
large changes in base current. Asa result. achieving the 10westOri
Voltage for a particular load current does not result in the lowest
overall power loss.

To calculate the power dissipation first estimate the operating
temperature of the BISYN. Then using the appropriate tempera·
ture curve determine the On Voltage at a circuit gain of 10 foryour
load. Multiply this voltage by 1.1 and then by the load current to
determine On Resistance power dissipation. Base current power
dissipation is calculated by finding the base drive current on
Curve 2 and then going to the applicable temperature curve for
Base Emitter Voltage vs Base Current. Curve 3. Multiplying the
Base Emitter Voltage by Base Current will give you the power
dissipation due to base current

It has been determined that operating at a base current that
achieves an On Voltage that is 110% of the On Voltage at a circuit
gain of ten gives a result that is very close to optimum power
dissipation. Curve 2 gives you the appropriate base current to
achieve 110% of this On Voltage. This same curve shows that the
appropriate base drive for optimum power dissipation at any

BISYN™ SYNCHRONOUS RECTIFIER

UBS430

For Low-Voltage «5.0V) Loads
FEATURES
• Very Low On Resistance Typically 7 milliohms

DESCRIPTION
The BISYN is a bipolar junction transistor that is specifically designed to perform the
rectifying function in the secondary of a switching power supply. Unlike a conventional
bipolar, the BISYN has a much higher emitter·base breakdown voltage (typically 50V)
which is needed for full·wave rectifier circuits. Base drive losses are kept at a minimum
by the relatively high current gain of the BISYN.

- High Reverse Blocking Voltage VECS = 40V
-Can be PWM Controlled to Provide
Regu lated Voltage to Load

The BISYN's most significant specification feature is its very low VF, 0.3V at 30A,
compared with 0.6V for a Schottky and only O.lV at lOA. Its most significant functional
feature is its programmability.

• Low Temperature Coefficient of On
Resistance
• Fast Switching Times Make Operation
at High Frequency Easy

The very low VF of this product reduces the rectifier power loss in a power supply
secondary, improving its efficiency. This becomes particularly significant as load
voltages drop below 5V. For example, with a 3V load the power loss associated with the
Schottky contributes to a 20% reduction in efficiency, while with a synchronous rectifier
this loss is reduced to 10% or less.

• High Gain Reduces Base Losses

The programmability feature gives the designer a new way to provide regulation to a
load. Its main advantage is the reduced power component count as compared with a
buck regulator and the resulting improvement in efficiency.

BISYN RECTIFIER IN A TWO
TRANSISTOR FORWARD CONVERTER.

THE OPERATION OF THE CIRCUIT IS AS FOLLOWS:
forward biased collector to base junction of BiSYN Q4. This junction acts as a voltage source (=O.7V) as long as BISYN Q4 is
conducting during the storage time. The turn-on of BISYN Q3 is
held off due to lack of base drive because winding N3 is shorted,
through diode D3 and the collector-base junction of BISYN Q4.
Meanwhile, the current through the shorted turns (the rate of rise
of which is limited by leakage inductance) is utilized to rapidly
commutate BISYN Q4 off. Diode D3 is then reverse biased and
BISYN Q3 turns on through winding Nl.

During the on·time of transistors Ql and Q2 , BISYN Q3 is biased
on and delivers output load current through filter inductor L. The
polarity of voltage developed across winding N2 is such that
BISYN Q4 remains in a blocking state. Diode D3 is also biased off.
When transistors Ql and Q2 turn-off; some of the energy stored in
the magnetizing and leakage inductance enhances the recovery
process of BISYN Q3- The recovery time (300-400nS) of BISYN Q3
extends the reset time of the core. However, in a typical design,
half of the switching period is allocated for core reset time. Thus,
the storage time has no significant effect on operation. The BISYN
Q4 starts conducting filter inductor current as soon as the voltage
across the secondary collapses. BISYN Q4 receives base drive
energy from the filter inductor L, through winding N2. The diode
Da still remains reverse biased.

The effect ofthe turn-off circuit, consisting of windi ng N3 and D3 is
toeliminate high peak currents inthe secondary. You will also find
that with this circuit there are practically no switching losses.
Application Note U-103 contains additional design information
and circuits for the BISYN.

When transistors Ql and Q2 turn-on again, the voltage across
winding N3 is clamped to approximately zero by diode D3 and the

DESIGNING FOR MINIMUM POWER DISSIPATION

Although used as a rectifier the BISYN is a three terminal device.
Therefore. the power dissipation due to the On Resistance and
also the dissipation due to the base current must be taken into
consideration. You will notice on curves 1 and 2 that the change in
On Voltage (VCE) at a particular collector current is small even
with large changes in base current. As a result. achieving the
lowest On Voltage for a particular load current does not result in
the lowest overall power loss.

It has been determined that operating at a base current that
achieves an On Voltage that is 110% ofthe On Voltage at a circuit
gain of ten gives a result that is very close to optimum power
dissipation. Curve 3 gives you the appropriate base current to
achieve 110% ofthis On Voltage. This same curve shows that the
appropriate base drive for optimum power dissipation at any
particular load current is virtually the same throughout the oper·
ati ng temperature range.

To calculate the power dissipation first estimate the operating
temperature of the BISYN. Then using the appropriate temperature curve determine the On Voltage at a circuit gain of 10foryour
load. Multiply this voltage by 1.1 and then by the load current to
determine On Resistance power dissipation. Base current power
dissipation is calculated by finding the base drive current on
curve 3 and then going to the applicable temperature curve for
Base Emitter Voltage vs Base Current (curves 4 and 5). Multiplying the Base Emitter Voltage by Base Current will give you the
power dissipation due to base current.

POWER CYCLING
These devices possess the unique ability to pass many
thousands of cycles of a stress test designed to evaluate the
integrity of the bonding systems used in the construction of
power rectifiers.
In this stress test, the case of the device is not heat sunk.
Full rated forward current is supplied to force a case temperature increase at least 75'C, at which time, the current is
removed and the case allowed to cool. The cycle is repeated a
minimum of 5,000 times to simulate equipment being turned
on and off. Extended power cycling tests demonstrate a product
capability in excess of 25,000 cycles.

SWITCHING CHARACTERISTICS
The switching times of these ultra-fast rectifiers increase
relatively little, with temperature or at different currents. Even
in severe applic":ltions, such as catch diodes for switching
regulators and output rectifiers for high frequency square
wave inverters, these devices switch many times faster than
the fastest associated transistors. Thus, the stresses on and
powers dissipated in the switching transistors are substantially
less than when using other rectifiers.

POWER CYCLING
These devices possess the unique ability to pass many
thousands of cycles of a stress test designed to evaluate the
integrity of the bonding systems used in the construction of
power rectifiers,
In this stress· test, the case of the device is not heat sunk,
Full rated forward current is supplied ,to force a case temperature increase at least 75'C, at which time, the current is
removed and the case allowed to cool. The cycle is repeated a
minimum of 5,000 times to simulate equipment being turned
on and off, Extended power cycling tests demonstrate a product
capability in excess of 25,000 cycles,

SWITCHING CHARACTERISTICS
The switching times of these ultra-fast rectifiers increase
relatively little, with temperature or at different currents. Even
in severe applications, such as catch diodes for switching
regulators and output rectifiers. for high frequency square
wave inverters, these devices switch many times faster than
the fastest associated transistors, Thus, the stresse's on and
powers dissipated in the switching transistors are substantially
less than when using other rectifiers,

POWER CYCLING
These devices possess the unique ability to pass many
thousands of cycles of a stress test designed to evaluate the
integrity of the bonding systems used in the construction of
power rectifiers.
In this stress test, the case of the device is not heat sunk.
Full rated forward current is supplied to force a case temperature increase at least 75°C, at which time, the current is
removed and the case allowed to cool. The cycle is repeated a
minimum of 5,000 times to simUlate equipment being turned
on and off. Extended power cycling tests demonstrate a product
capability in excess of 25,000 cycles.

SWITCHING CHARACTERISTICS
The switching times of these ultra-fast rectifiers increase
relatively little, with temperature or at different currents. Even
in severe applications, such as catch diodes for switching
regulators and output rectifiers for high frequency square
wave inverters, these devices switch many times faster than
the fastest associated transistors. Thus, the stresses on and
powers disSipated in the switching transistors are substantially
less than when using other rectifiers.

DESCRIPTION
The UES2604 series is· specifically
designed for operation in power switching
circuits operating at frequencies of at
least 20 KHz.
This series combines two high efficiency
devices into one package, simplifying
installation, reducing heat sink requirements and the need to purchase
matched components.

POWER CYCLING
These devices possess the unique ability to pass many
thousands of cycles of a stress test designed to evaluate the
integrity of the bonding systems used in the construction of
power rectifiers.
In this stress test, the case of the device is not heat sunk.
Full rated forward current is supplied to force a case temperature increase at least 75°C, at which time, the current is
removed and the case allowed to cool. The cycle is repeated a
minimum of 5,000 times to simulate equipment being turned
on and off. Extended power cycling tests demonstrate a product
capability in excess of 25,000 cycles.

SWITCHING CHARACTERISTICS
The switching times of these ultra-fast rectifiers increase
relatively little, with temperature or at different currents. Even
in severe applicat~ns, such as catch diodes for switching
regulators and output rectifiers for high frequency square
wave inverters, these devices switch many times faster than
the fastest associated transistors. Thus, the stresses on and
powers dissipated in the switching transistors are substantially
less than when using other rectifiers.

NOTE: The gate of the MOSFET
is double pulsed. The first pulse
ramps up the inductor current. A
short interpulse period forward
biases the device under test to
the desired 'F. The second pulse
reverse biases the device under
test creating the desired dildt so
that the reverse recovery parameters can be measured. The
pulse pair is repeated at a low
duty lactor and does not result in
device heating.

DEVICE
UNDER
TEST

NOfE: The gate of the MOSFET •

is double pulsed. The first pulse
ramps up the inductor current. A
short interpulse period forward
biases the device under test to
the desired IF' The second pulse

reverse biases the device under
test creating the desired di/dt so
that the reverse recovery parameters can be measured. The
pulse pair is repeated at a low
duty factor and does not result in
device heating.

•

High average power and surge capability
make these series of devices attractive
in many high-rei applications.

Continuous Rating:to 4A
Controlled Avalanche
Surge Rating:tolOOA
PIV: to 600 V
Miniature Package

All Unitrode rectifiers have a sleeve of
pure hard glass fused to the silicon junction. Since the silicon sees only this glass,
electrical characteristics are permanently
stable. This voidless, monolithic package
is totally unaffected by the most severe
moisture or temperature testing.

Application example: The rectifier is to be used in a cabinet at 60'C with ambient
air moving at 400 LFM. The rating is reduced (Fig. 2) by a factor of 0.81 due to the
elevated temperature, but is enhanced by 2.X (Fig. 1) due to the air flow. Hence
the DC output current is 0.81 x 2, or 1.6 times the 25'C air rating.

**These ratings are based on using "extender plates" that provide additional surface area to radiate heat. Because of possible corona effects
caused by scratches on these plates, extreme care is necessary in their handling and they are not recommended where the working voltage
exceeds 7.SKV/module. They should be carefully polished prior to installation.
tThese ratings are based on T c

Application example: The rectifier is to be used in a cabinet at 60·C with ambient
air moving at 400 LFM. The rating is reduced (Fig. 2) by a factor of 0.81 due to the
elevated temperature, but it is enhanced by 2 X (Fig. 1) due to the air flow. Hence
the DC output current is 0.81 x 2, or 1.6 times the 25·C air rating.

**These ratings are based on using "extender plates" that provide additional surface area to radiate heat. Because of possible corona effects
caused by scratches on these plates, extreme care is necessary in their handling and they are not recommended where the working voltage
exceeds 7.SKV/module. They should be carefully polished prior to installation.

t All

Zener Yoltages are measured with an automated test set using a 35 millisecond test time. longer or shorter test times will have a corres. "
ponding effect on the measured value due to heating effects.

§.Zener impedance is derived from the 60 cycle AC Voltage created when AC current with RMS value of 10% of DC Zener test current is superimposed on the test current.

*'" ~BV

is obtained by measuring the voltage change when the test current .is changed from 10% to 50% of Iz max under. DC conditions. During this
measurement the leads are heat sunk .375 inch from the body and maintained at 25°C.
.
.

*

Ratings shown are for peak sinusoidal surge current of 8.3 ms duration, non-repetitive. The 8.3 rns square pulse rating is 71% of the value
shown. Rating exceeds JEDEC Registered Specification.

§ Duration 01 applied current .. 3OOms, duty cycle .. 2%.
t Utilizing a pulse which decays exponentially to 50%01 the peak value-in 1ms. See graph entitled "Pulse Waveform".
:I: Peak Sinusoidal surge current of 8.3ms duration, non-repetitive.

APPLICATIONS
Voltage transients can be suppressed with series elements. shunt elements, or a
combination of both. These elements may be passive or active. For low and
medium power applications, a series resistor and zener clamp offer several
attractive features:
1. Simplicity of design
2. High reliability
3. Fast response time
The 1N5610 series of surge suppressors will suppress the fOllowing transients
defined by MIL-S-704A without the use of any series limiting resistance beyond
that provided by the source:
i. AII600V transients (category #1 on chart below)
2. All BOV transients except those generated by the main voltage regulator
(category #2 on chart below)
3. The overvoltage transients generated by the main voltage regulator (category
#3 on chart below) will also be suppressed by the 1N5610 series if:
a. A 20 ohm series limiting resistor is used, or
b. No series resistance is used but the zener is protected within 500 I'S by
using, for example, an SCR crowbar
The above statements ar~sed on the source impedances and dv / dt characteristics as given in ARlNc"Specification #413. This report entitled "Guidance for
Aircraft Electrical Power Utilization and Transient Protection" serves to further
define MIL-STD-704A for large aircraft electrical systems.

CHOOSING AND SPECIFYING THE PROPER TVS

The following terms are generally used in specifying Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS):

1.

Stand-off Voltage (VR) is the highest reverse voltage at which the TVS will be non-conducting.

2.

Minimum Breakdown Voltage (BV min) is the reverse voltage at which the TVS conducts
1 milli-amp. This is the point where the TVS begins to limit the transient.

3.

Maximum Clamping Voltage (Vc max) is the maximum voltage the TVS will allow during a
transient "spike."

Figure 7 graphically shows all three terms.

lmA--------

+ ----~.ct===~::...-Uv

+
Figtlre 7

The three most important factors in choosing the appropriate TVS for an application in their order
of importance are:
1.

Pulse power (Pp) - Choose the TVS series that will handle the Transient Pulse Power.
Transient Pulse Power is equal to the clamping voltage (Vel times the peak pulse current
(ipp). The pulse duration vs. pulse power graph on the TVS data sheet can then be used to
determine the maximum allowable pulse duration. (Figure 3 or 4).

2.

Standoff voltage (VR) - From the TVS series selected, choose the device with the stand-off
voltage equal to or greater than the normal circuit operating Voltage.

3.

Maximum Clamping Voltage (V eMAx ) - Determine the clamping voltage of the device chosen for the
transient given and be sure it is below the voltage that might damage any components.

For further information see Unitrode Application Note U-79, "Guidelines for Using Transient Voltage
Suppressors.' ,

• Specify 20% tolerance by changing the second numeral of type number from 8 to 9 (UZ58D9 becomes UZS909) or from 2 to 3 (UZS211 becomes
UZ5311).
t All zener voltages are measured with an automated test set using a 35 millisecond test time. Longer or shorter test times will have a
corresponding effect on the measured value due to heating effects.
§ Zener impedance is derived from the 6o-cycle AC voltage created when AC current with RMS value of 10% of DC zener test current is
superimposed on the test current.
Maximum current based on 5 watt rating. See lead temperature derating curves for proper !11ounting methods.
Figures shown are for a peak sinusoidal surge current of 8.3ms duration USing 60 cycle AC. The 8.3ms square pulse rating is 71% of the
value shown.

t All zener voltages are measured With an automated test set usmg a 35 mllhsecond test time. Longer or shorter test times will have a corresponding effect on the measured value due to heating effects.
§Zener impedance is derived from the 60-cycle AC voltage created when AC current with RMS value of 10% of DC zener test current is superimposed on the test current.
*Ratings are based on free air. T .... is 2S;C. For use at 1.5 watts see derating curve.
:tFigures shown are for a peak sinusoidal surge current of 8.3 ms duration using 60 cycle AC. The 8.3 ms square pulse rating is 71% of the
value shown.

UM4000 SERIES
UM4900 SERIES

PIN DIODE
Features
.. Power dissipation to 37.5W
• Voltage ratings to 1000V
• Series resistance rated at O.5Q
• Carrier lifetime greater than 5",s
Description
The UM4000 and UM4900 series feature
high power PIN diodes with long carrier lifetimes and thick I-regions. They are especially
suitable for use in low distortion switches
and attenuators, in the HF through S band
frequencies. While both series are electrically equivalent, the UM4900 series have
higher power ratings due to a shorter thermal
path between chip and package. High charge
storage and long carrier lifetime enable high
RF levels to be controlled with relatively low

bias current. Similarly, peak RF voltages can
be handled well in excess of applied reverse
bias voltage.
Both series have been fully qualified in
high power UHF phase shifters and megawatt peak-power duplexers, accumulating
thousands of hours of proven performance.
Both types have been used in the design of
antenna selectors and couplers, where inductive and capacitive elements are switched in
and out of filter or cavity networks.

UM4300 SERIES
UM7300 SERIES

For Attenuator Applications
Features
• Extremely low distortion performance
• Useful frequency range extends below 500 KHz
• Power dissipation to 20W (UM4300)
• Capacitance as low as 0.7 pF (UM7300)
• Voltage ratings to 1000V

series, with large cross-sectional chip area
offers the highest power capability, of the
two series. The UM7300 series offers lower
capacitance.

Both diode series are intended for use in
linear attenuators operating from HF to
beyond 1 GHz. Low distortion at low frequencies is a result of transit time frequencies
below 5 MHz.
Operated as RF switches, either diode
series can be operated at low dc reverse bias
voltages, to hold off much higher RF voltage
levels.

PIN DIODE

Features
• Voltage ratings to 1000V (UM7000)
• Wide variElty of package styles
• Rated average power dissipation to 10W
• Cost effective in volume applications
Description
The UM7000 and UM7100 series offer moderately high power handling in combination
with reasonably low levels of both series
resistance and capacitance. The UM7200
series offers the lowest series resistance,
but the highest capacitance of the group.
The differences in specified performance, for

each of the series, results from different
I.. region thicknesses. The three series have
broad applicability in many RF and microwave switch and attenuator circuits. Additionally, the UM7100 in leaded versions, is
usually the most cost-effective diode choice
in high volume usage.

PIN DIODE

UM9301

COMMERCIAL ATTENUATOR DIODE
Features
• Specified low distortion
• Low rectification properties at low reverse bias
o Resistance specified at 3 current points
• High reliability fused-in-glass construction
Description
The UM9301 PIN Diode utilizes a special
overall chip geometry with an extremely
thick intrinsic "I" region, to offer unique
capabilities in both RF switch and attenuator
applications. Volume production also makes
the diode an economical choice suitable for
many commercial low power equipments.
The UM9301 has been designed for use in
bridged TEE attenuator circuits· commonly

utilized for gain and slope control in CATV
amplifiers. Low distortion and high dynamic
range are characteristic of the diodes'
outstanding performance.
The UM9301 is also appropriate for switch
applications, when little or no bias voltage is
available. Frequent applications occur in
portable 12 volt-powered communications
equipments, operating at frequencies as low
as 2 MHz.

PIN DIODE
COMMERCIAL TWO·WAY RADIO
ANTENNA SWITCH DIODES
Features
• Specified low distortion
• Unitrode ruggedness and reliability

• Low bias current requirements
• Priced for high quantity applications

Description:

Unitrode offers a series of PIN diodes specifically designed and characterized for solid
state antenna switches in commercial twoway radios. Antenna switches using the
UM9401 and UM9415 series PIN diodes provide high isolation, low loss and low distortion characteristics formerly possible only
with electromechanical relay type switches.
The UM9401 and UM9402 diodes can
handle above 100W of transmitter power,

while the UM9415 will handle over 1000W.
The extensive characterization of these PIN

Maximum Transmitter Power
The maximum CW transmitter power,
PT(max), a PIN diode antenna switch can handle depends on the diode resistance, Rs,
power dissipation, Po, antenna SWR, 0, and
nominal impedance, Zoo The expression
relating these parameters is as follows:

PT(max) -_ Po

x
Ro

Zo

(0;0

1)

2

[Watts]

Characteristic curves are shown in the
data section which give both the maximum
and typical diode resistance, Rs as a
function of forward current. The maximum
power dissipation rating of the PIN diode
depends both on the length of the diode
leads and the temperature of the contacts to
which the leads are connected. A graph
defining the maximum power dissipation at
various combinations of overall lead length
(L) and lead temperature (T J is given in the
data section. From these curves and the
above equation, the power handling
capability of the PIN diode may be computed
for a specific application.
Curves are also presented which show the
maximum transmitter power that an antenna
DC SUPPLY

switch using UM9401s and UM9415s can
safely handle for various forward currents
and lead temperatures. These curves are
based on a typical ~esign condition of a V2
in. total. overall lead length, 50Q line
impedance and a totally mismatched
antenna (0 = co). For the case of a perfectly
matched antenna, the maximum transmitter
power can be increased by a factor of 4.
DeSign Information
A circuit configuration for a two-way radio
antenna switch using PIN diodes consists of
a diode placed in series with the transmitter
and a shunt diode placed a quarter wavelength from the antenna in the direction of
the receiver as shown. For low frequency
operation, the quarter wave line may be
simulated by lumped elements. Typical performance of antenna switches using PIN
diodes forward biased at 100 mA is less than
0.2 dB insertion loss and 30 dB isolation
during transmit; at zero bias the receive
insertion loss is less than 0.3 dB. This performance is achievable across a ± 20% bandwidth at center frequencies ranging from 10
to 500 MHz.

Features
• High Photocurrent Sensitivity
• High Reliability Construction
• Fast Rise Time
• Wide Dynamic Range
• Hardness to Neutron Bombardment
• Low Operating Voltage
Description
Silicon PIN devices are effective detectors
of nuclear and electromagnetic radiation.
This includes gamma' radiation, electrons,
and X-rays. The detectors can be used
across the temperature range of - 55°C to
+ 175°C instead of being' restricted to use at·
low temperatures.
The absorbed radiation produces electronhole pairs in the space charge region. These
charges are swept out by the applied field
and result in a current flow proportional to
the rate of absorbed radiation.
The Unitrode UM9441 series utilizes high
resistivity material and is designed to have a
uniform area mesa structure to' define the
active volume. The current 'sensitivity of

UM9441

these devices is. proportional only to the
I-region volume and is independent of temperature so long as applied voltage exceeds
the saturation voltage. This structure also
minimizes the effects of permanent damage
caused by neutrons and other high energy
radiation. Experiments on devices of the
UM9441 design show no degradation in
gamma sensitivity resulting from a total
dose of 1014 neutrons/cm 2 of 1 MeV
equivalent.

III

Package
The UM9441 is an axially leaded device
constructed by metallurgically bonding the
PIN chip in between two molybdenum refractory pins that are typically 0.125 inches in
diameter and 0.050, inches long. Hyper-pure
glass is then fused over this bond to form a
voidless seal. Leads are then brazed to ends
of molybdenum pins. This results in a highreliability package using materials so well
thermally matched that the UM9441 can
withstand temperature shock or cycling from
-196°C to + 300°C.

PIN DIODE
For Microstrip 900MHz Antenna Switches
and Microwave Applications
Features
• Low Inductance Shunt Mount Package
• Characterized for Microstrip
• Unitrode Ruggedness and Reliability
• High Power Handling Capability
• Low Bias Current Requirement
• Excellent Distortion Properties
" Cost Effective in High Quantity Applications
Description
The UM9601-UM9608 series of PIN diodes was
developed for shunt mount applications in
microstrip circuits. Good switch performance is
demonstrated at frequencies from UHF to 4GHz
and higher. This performance is achieved using
discrete low inductance Unitrode PIN diodes
assembled with special hardware to permit good
electrical and mechanical compatibility with
microstrip transmission lines.
Design information is presented for preparation of microstrip circuit boards to accommodate
these PIN diodes. A detailed design fora900MHz
quarter-wave antenna switch is given. This
switch which employs a low cost UM9401 axial
leaded PIN diode in conjunction with a UM9601,
performs with 30dB receiver isolation over a
100MHz bandwidth and with transmitter
insertion loss of less than O.4dB. This switch can
safely handle transmitter power levels up to 100
watts at infinite antenna SWR.

The Unitrode UM9601 series PIN diodes are
constructed using a fused-in-glass process
which results in a highly reliable, hermetic
package. The process utilizes symmetrical, full
faced metallurgical bonds to both surfaces of the
silicon chip. This construction greatly minimizes
the normal parasitic inductance and capacitance
found in conventional glass or ceramic packaged
diodes which employ straps, springs or whiskers.
The use of discrete UM9601-UM9608 diodes
greatly minimizes handling problems commonly
associated with passivated PIN diode chips while
maintaining good microwave performance. In
addition the power handling capibility of the
UM9601-UM9608 series is considerably higher
than PIN diode chips can provide.
Environmentally, the UM9601-UM9608 series
PIN diodes can withstand thermal cycling from
-195°C to +300°C and exceed all military
environmental specification for shock, vibration,
acceleration, and moisture resistance.

Installation in Microslrip
The cup type flange on the UM9601,
UM9602, UM9605 and UM9606 is designed to
be affixed to the ground plane surface of a
microstrip board as shown. The UM9603,
UM9604, UM9607 and UM960B were designed
to be affixed to a backi ng plate as shown. It was
experimentally determined that at frequencies
greater than 2GHz the anode of the diode
should be approximately 0.010" (.254mm)
above the top surface of the microstrip for
lowest insertion loss.

For solder adhesion the microstrip may be
heated to solder melting temperature (up to
300 0 C) with no damage to the diode.
Conductive epoxy may also be employed. The
thermal resistance of solder mounted
UM9601-UM9604 in their test boards was less
than 200 C/W; for the UM9605-UM960B thermal
resistance was less than 30 0 C/W.

Design Example - 900lVlHz Antenna Switch
An example of a practical circuit design
using a UM9601 diode is a quarter-wave
antenna switch covering the frequency of BOO900MHz. The circuit design for this switch is
shown and was constructed using 0.025"
(0.645mm) alumina microstrip.
This antenna switch uses a series mounted
diode and a shunt mounted diode. The
UM9601 was selected for the shunt mounted
device (SPST performance at 1GHz: 0.2d8
insertion loss and 25d8 isolation) and because
it is the lowest cost diode in the UM9601UM960B series. A UM9401axiai lead diode
was chosen for the series mounted device.
The performance of this switch is displayed
in the graphs and in the following table. It
should be noted that the:loss values are actual
measured numbers including losses due to the
capacitors, bias networks, connectors as well
as the board. In a typical radio application
where the antenna switch circuit board is
integrated in the same microstrip board that
contains transmitter and receiver elements the
connector loss is eliminated. This will result in
lower overall insertion loss values than
indicated here.

The CW power handling capacity is
determined by the allowable power dissipation
of the series mounted UM9401. Using a ,::ap in
the line of 0.190" (4.B2mm) and lead soldered
attached spacing of 0.250" (0.635mm) the
power rati ng of the U M9401 is 6 watts at a 25 0 C
ambient. This was determined by performing a
thermal resistance measurement on the circuit
mounted UM9401. The relationship that
derives the maximum transmitter power, PT, is:
PT = POlss . Zo (

= maximum antenna SWR

Using resistance values for the UM9401 and
UM9601 the maximum transmitter power curve
is given and shows that this circuit is able to
handle 100 watts of transmitter power at
100mA forward biased and totally mismatched
antenna at an ambient temperature of 60 0 C.
For a perfectly matched antenna the power
handling increases to 400 watts under the
same bias and ambient temperature
conditions.

Distortion is an important consideration in
the selection of a PIN diode antenna switch
design. The UM9401 and UM9601 PIN diodes
are designed for low distortion applications.
The level of distortion produced by this 900MHz
antenna switch when operated in the transmit

state (forward bias of 100mA) is expected to be
at least 90dB below the carrier for a 50 watt
transmitter level. In the receiver state (zero
bias) the.intermodulation distortion caused by
two in-band signals at OdBm are estimated to
be at least 100dB below this level.

• High Reverse Resistance
o Specified Low Distortion
o High Voltage Capability
o Good Power Handling
o Unitrode Ruggedness and

Description
The UM9701 PIN diode was designed for low resistance at low forward
bias current and low reverse bias capacitance. This unique Unitrode
design results in both forward and reverse bias.
These PIN diodes are characterized for low current drain RF and
•
microwave switch applications particularly for digital filter switch _ _
designs. The construction and geometry of these devices provide good . , .
voltage and power handling capability.
These devices are constructed using a metallurgical full face bond to
both surfaces of the silicon chip. A glass enclosure houses this bond in a
reliable and hermetic package. The axial leads are attached to the refractory pins and do not touch the glass enclosure.
Environmentally these, and all Unitrode PIN diodes, can withstand
thermal cycling from -195° C to +300° C and exceed all military environmental specifications for shock, vibration, acceleration, and moisture
resistance.

DESCRIPTION
The Unitrode ESP Switching Regulator is a unique hybrid
transistor circuit, specifically designed, constructed and specified for use in high current switching regulator applications.
The designer is thus relieved of one of the most time consuming, tedious and critical aspects of switching regulator
design: choosing the appropriate switching transistors and
commutating diode, and empirically determining the optimum
drive and bias conditions.

drawbacks to switching regulators: noise generation and slow
re$pcn$C time; there ::;, :n fuct, no dlode reverSe iecovery
spike (see note 4.).
The PIC600 series switching regulators are designed and characterized to be driven with standard integrated circuit voltage
regulators. They are completely characterized over their entire
operating range of -55'C to +125'C. The devices are enclosed
in a special4-pin TO·66 package, hermetically sealed for high
reliability. The hybrid circuit construction utilizes thick film
resistors on a beryllia substrate for maximum thermal conductivity and resultant low thermal impedance. All of the
active elements in the hybrid are fully passivated.

Switching regulators, when compared to conventional regulators, result in significant reductions in size, weight, and internal
power losses and a major decrease in overall cost. Using the
Unitrode PIC600 series, the designer can achieve further
improvements in size, weight, efficiency, and costs. At the
same time, because of the PIC600 series design and packaging,
the designer is aided in overcoming two of the most significant

NOTES:

1. In switching an inductive load, the current will lead the voltage on turn on and lag the voltage on turn·off (see Figure 2.). Therefore, Voltage Delay
Time (tov) '" tdi + tn and Current Storage Time (tsi) '" Isv + tlv.
2. The efficiency is a measure of internal power losses and is equal to Output Power divided by Input Power. The switching speed circuit of Figure I., in
which the efficiency is measured, is representative of typical operating conditions for the PIC600 switching regulators.
3. Pulse test: Duration = 300ps, Duty CycleS 2%.
4. As can be seen from the switching waveforms shown in Figure 2., no reverse of forward recovery spike is generated by the commutating diode during
switching! This reduces self-generated noise. since no current spike is fed through the switching regulator. It also improves efficiency and reliabilty,
since the power switch only carries current during turn-on.
5. To insure safe operation 13 should be 2: 120mAI during TON. Operation at 13 < 120mAI can permanently damage device.

POWER DISSIPATION CONSIDERATIONS
The tolal power losses in the switching regulator is the sum olthe switching losses, and the powerswitchanddiode D.C. losses. Once total power dissipation has
been determined, the Power Dissipation curve, or thermal resistance data may be used to determine the allowable case or ambient temperature for any
operating condition.
The switching losses curve presents data for a frequency of 20KHz. To find losses at any other frequency, multiply by 1120KHz.
The D.C. losses curve presents data fora duty cycle of .2. To find D.C. losses at any other duty cycle, multiply by 0/.2 forthe power switch and by(1·D)/.8 forthe
diode.
At frequencies much below 10KHz the above method for determining the allowable case or ambient temperature becomes invalid and a detailed transient
thermal analysis must be performed. Please see Design Note 6 (DN·6) for further information.'

DESCRIPTION
;iJe Uniirode ESP Switching Regulator is a unique hybrid
transistor circuit, specifically designed, constructed and
specified for use in high current switching regulator applications. The designer is thus relieved of one of the most time
consuming, tedious and critical aspects of switching regulator
design: choosing the appropriate switching transistors and
commutating diode, and empirically determining the optimum
drive and bias conditions.

significant rfr:lwb~cks to switching !"egu!atQ!"s: noise generation
and slow response time; there is, in fact, no diode reverse
recovery spike (See note 4.).
The PIC600 series switching regulators are designed and
characterized to be driven wih standard integrated circuit
voltage regulators. They are completely characterized over
their entire operating range of -55"C to +125"C. The devices
are enclosed in a special4-pin T066 package, hermetically
sealed for high reliability. The hybrid circuit construction
utilizes thick film resistors on a berYllia substrate for maximum
thermal conductivity and resultant low thermal impedance. All
of the active elements in the hybrid are fully passivated.

Switching regulators, when compared to conventional regulators, result in significant reductions in size, weight, and
internal power losses and a major decrease in overall cost.
Using the Unitrode PIC600 series the designer can achieve
further improvements in size, weight, efficiency, and costs. At
the same time, because of the PIC600 series design and
packaging, the designer is aided in overcoming two of the most

FEATURES
• Designed and characterized for switching regulator applications
• Cost saving design reduces size, improves efficiency, reduces noise and RFI (See note 4.)
• High operating frequency (to >lOOkHz) results in smaller inductor-capacitor filter
and improved power supply response time'
• High operating efficiency: Typical 7A circuit performanceRise and Fall time <300 ns

• No reverse recovery spike generated by commutating diode (See note 4. and Fig. 2.)

DESCRIPTION
The Unitrooe ESP Switching Regulator is a unique hybrid
transistor circuit, specifically designed, constructed and
specified for use in high current switching regulator applications. The designer is thus relieved of one of the most time
consuming; tedious and critical aspects of switching regulator
design: choosing the appropriate switching transistors and
commutating diode, and empirically determining the optimum
drive and bias conditions.

!;ignific~nt drawbarks to.switching regu!ato!"s: noise generation
and slow response time; there is, in fact, no diode reverse
recovery spike (See note 4.).

The PIC600 series switching regulators are designed and
characterized to be driven with standard integrated circuit
voltage regulators. They are completely characterized over
their entire operating range of -55·C·to +125·C. The devices
are enclosed in a special 3 pin TO-3 package, hermetically
sealed for high reliability. The hybrid circuit construction
utilizes thick film resistors on a beryllia substrate for maximum
thermal conductivity and resultant low thermal impedance. All
of the active elements in the hybrid are fully passivated.

Switching regulators, when compared to conventional regulators, result in significant reductions in size, weight, and
internal power losses and a major decrease in overall cost.
Using the Unitrode PIC600 series the designer can achieve
further improvements in size, weight, efficiency, and costs. At
the same time, because of the PIC600 series design and
packllging, the designer is aided in overcoming two of the most

2. The efficiency is a measure of internal power losses and is equal to Output Power divided by Input Power. The switching speed circuit of Figure 1, in
which the efficiency is measured, is representative of typical operating conditions for the PIC600 series switching regulators.
3. Pulse test: Duration = 3001'5, Duty Cycle $ 2%.
4. As can be seen from the switching waveforms shown in Figure 2, no reverse of forward recovery spike is generated by the commutating diode during
switching! This reduces self·generated noise, since no current spike is fed through the switching regulator. It also improves efficiency and reliability,
since the power switch only carries current during turn-on.

5. To insure safe operation 13 should be 2: 130mAI during TON. Operation at 13

< 130mAI can

permanently damage device.

POWER DISSIPATION CONSIDERATIONS
The total power losses in the switching regulator is the sum of the switching losses, and the powerswitch and diode D.C. losses.. Once total power dissipation has
been determined, the Power Dissipation curve, or thermal resistance data may be used to determine the allowable case or ambient temperature for any
operating condition.
The switching losses curve presents data for a frequency of 20KHz. To find losses at any other frequency, multiply by f120KHz.
The D.C. losses curve presents data for a duty cycle of .2. To find D.C. losses at any other duty cycle, multiply by 0/.2 forthe power switch and by(1·0)/.8 forthe
d~~
.
At frequencies much below 10KHz the above method for determining the allowable case or ambient temperature becomes invalid and a detailed transient
thermal analysis must be performed. Please see Design Note 6 (ON·6) for further information.

NOTES:

1. In switching an inductive load, the current will lead the voltage on turn-on and lag the voltage on turn-off (see Figure 2). Therefore, Voltage Delay Time
(tov) '" Idl + t,; and Current Storage Time (tsl) '" Isv + tfv.
2. The efficiency is a measure of internal power losses and is equal to Output Power divided by Input Power. 1 he switching speed circuit of Figure 1, in
which the efficiency is measured, is representative of typical operating conditions for the PIC600 series switching regulators.
3. Pulse test: Duration = 300p.s, Duty Cycle :5 2%.
4. As can be seen from the switching waveforms shown in Figure 2, no reverse of forward recovery spike is generated by the commutating diode during
switching! This reduces self·generated noise, since no current spike is fed through the switching regulator. It also improves efficiency and reliability,
since the power switch only carries current during turn-on.
5. To insure safe operation 13 should be ~ 130mAI during TON. Operation at 13 < 130mAI can permanently damage device.
POWER DISSIPATION CONSIDERATIONS
The total pow,;r losses in the switching regulator is the sum of the switching losses, and the power switch and diode D.C. losses. Once total power dissipation has
been determined, the Power Dissipation curve, or thermal resistance data may be used to determine the allowable case or ambient temperature for any
operating condition.
The switching losses curve presents data for a frequency of 20KHz. To find losses at any other frequency, multiply by 1120KHz.
The D.C. losses curve presents data for a duty cycle of .2. To find D.C. losses at any other duty cycle, multiply by 0/.2 forthe power switch and by (1·0)/.8 forthe
diode.
At frequencies much below 10KHz the above method for determining the allowable case or ambient temperature becomes invalid and a detailed transient
thermal analysis must be performed. Please see Design Note 6 (DN·6) for further information.

Notes:
I. In switching an inductive load, the current will lead the voltage on turn·
on and lag the voltage on turn-off (see Figure 1). Therefore, Voltage
Delay Time (tDV) '" tdi + tri and Current Storage Time (tsi) '" tsv + ltv·
2. The efficiency is a measure of internal power losses and is equal to
Output Power divided by Input Power. The switching speed circuit of
Figure I, in which the efficiency is measured, is representative of
typical operating conditions for the PIC600 series switching regulators.

5. To insure safe operation, absolute value of 13 should be a minimum
of 20mA during t(on)' Operation with 13 below 20mA can permanently
damage the device.
6. To insure safe operation, absolute value of 13 should be a minimum
of 30mA during ~on). Operation with 13 below 30mA can permanently
damage the device.

3. Pulse test: Duration = <; 400~s. Duty Cycle <;2%.
4. As can be seen from the switching waveforms shown in Figure I, no
reverse or forward recovery spike is generated by the com mutating
diode during switching! This reduces self·generated noise, since no
current spike is fed through the switching regulator, It also improves
efficiency and reliability, since the power switch only carries current
during turn-on.

Nates:
1. In switching an inductive load, the current will lead the voltage on
turn·on and lag the voltage on turn·off (see Figure I). Therefore,
Voltage Delay Time (tDV) '" tdi + tri and Current Storage Time (lsi)
"'tsv + tfv'
2. The efficiency is a measure of internal power losses and is equal to
Output Power divided by Input Power. The switching speed circuit
of Figure 1, in which the efficiency is measured, is representative of
typical operating conditions for the PIC600 series switching
regulators.

4. As can be seen from the switching waveforms shown in Figure 1, no
reverse or forward recovery spike is generated by the com mutating
diode during switching! This reduces self·generated noise, since no
current spike is fed through the switching regulator. It also improves
efficiency and reliability, since the power switch only carries current
during turn-on.
5. To insure safe operation, the absolute value of 13 should be a
minimum of 30 mA during t(on)' Operation with 13 below 30 mA can
permanenlly damage the device.

3. Pulse test: Duration = .. 400 ~sec.

Power Dissipation Considerations
The total power losses in the switching regulator is the sum of the switching losses, and the power switch and diode D.C. losses.
Once total power dissipation has been determined, the Power Dissipation curve, or thermal resistance data may be used to determine the allowable case or ambient temperature for any operating condition.
The switching losses curve presents data for a frequency of 20 kHz. To find losses at any other frequency, multiply by f/20 kHz.
The D.C. losses curves present data for a duty cycle of 0.2. To find D.C. losses at any other duty cycle, multiply by 0/0.2 for the
power switch and by (1-0)10.8 for the diode.
At frequencies much below 10 kHz the above method for determining the allowable case or ambient temperature becomes invalid
and a detailed transient thermal analysis must be performed. Unitrode will supply transient thermal impedance information on
request.

LOW VOLTAGE NPN TRANSISTOR

UBT430

40Amp, 50V, Planar NPN
Low Saturation Voltage (.3V @ 30A);
High Efficiency
DESCRIPTION

FEATURES

The UBT430 is a planar NPN bipolar transistor that has been designed to optimize
performance for low voltage circuits. It features a very low saturation voltage of only
.30V max at 30A, and .1OV at lOA. Because of its excellent switching speed (rise and
fall times typically under lOOns and storage times under 500ns) it offers excellent
performance even in high frequency switching circuits.

• Very Low On Resistance Typically 7 milliohms
• Reverse Blocking Voltage VECS =20V
• Low Temperature Coefficient of On
Resistance

This is the ideal transistor to use for emitter switching in off·line switching power
supplies. The low drop of this device also makes it the best choice for a battery back·up
circuit. Considerable improvement in efficiency can be achieved by using the UBT430
transistor in boost regulators operating off a 5V line and low voltage buck regulators.

• Fast Switching Times Make Operation
at High Frequency 'Easy
• High Gain Reduces Base Losses

Design Note DN-20 provides additional information on the application of the UBT430
transistor.

FEATURES

DESCRIPTION

• Maximum Gate Trigger Current: 20pA
• Closely Controlled Gate Trigger Voltage:
.44 to .6V
• Operating Current Range: 2mAto 1.6A
• Voltage Ratings: to 400V
• Low On-State Voltage
• Specified for dv/dt and Switching Time

These devices are intended for general purpose usage in Military/aerospace or severe
industrial environments. Major design parameters are specified at the temperature
extremes, thus permitting worst case design on the basis of guaranteed values.
These devices undergo 100% preconditioning, which includes high temperature
storage and temperatu(e cycling followed by a fine leak test as a regular part of the
manufacturing procedure.
The high voltage types of the 2NS724 series;!re especially useful as pulse modulator
switches in low to medium power pulse modulator applications; Specific parameters
such as rise time, delay time, holding current, and recovery time can be selected
for optimum performance in a pulse modulator circuit.

resistors can be added to meet the designer's needs in programming Eta, RBB , Ip and Iv
functions. This series also features a hermetically sealed TO-18 package for optimum
reliability in all environmental conditions. Applications include pulse and timing
circuits, SCR trigger circuits, relaxation oscillators and sensing circuits. For additional
information see Unitrode Application Note U-66.

Notes: 1. Off-State voltage ratings apply over the operating temperature range provided the gate is connected to the cathode through an
appropriate resistor, or other adequate bias is used.
2. Tolal Input Trigger Current, including current required by 2200 gate bias resistance.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
1. Curve 1 shows the off-state current, IORM of the SCR as a function of temperature. IDRM is increased by radiation damage,
but is not a design consideration at the recommended gate bias levels.
In order to optimize for radiation tolerance, reverse blocking capability has not been retained as a design feature. Devices
with reverse blocking capability can be provided.
2. Minimum critical dvldt levels are defined in Curve 2. The dv/dt capability is improved after radiation because of reduced
triggering sensitivity. dv/dt is therefore a design consideration only prior to radiation.
3. Curves 3 and 4 show the limits of Gate Trigger Voltage and Total Input Trigger Current prior to radiation. Maximum design
limits after a total radiation dosage of 3 x 10" NVT is also shown. Curves 5 and 6 show the maximum limits of Gate
Trigger Voltage and Total Input Trigger Currents as a junction of neutron dosage. The minimum level of Trigger current
prior to radiation is established by the shunting effect of a 220 ohm resistor between gate and cathode. After radiation
the device is less sensitive and Total Trigger Current will increase to a level relatively independent of the bias resistance.
The 220 ohm resistor is recommended since it raises the minimum preradiation trigger current to a level that is closer to
the past radiation limit and minimizes the percentage change in this parameter.
4. Current ratings shown in Curves 10, 11, and 12 apply after the device has been subjected to 3 x 10 14 NVT. Current ratings
prior to radiation are greater than the values indicated.
5. Gamma radiation produces a reversible ionization (leakage) current within the device which is directly proportional to the
Gamma flux level. When the Gamma flux level is in the range of 10 to 100 Roentgens per microsecond for burst durations
greater than 1 microsecond, the device will self trigger ON. For the radiation bursts associated with nuclear explosions,
the Gamma flux level will invariably cause device triggering at radiation levels significantly below the levels that would
produce detectable permanent device damage due to cumulative neutron dosage. In applications where the burst effect
triggering cannot be tolerated, it is necessary to reset the device after the radiation burst. Special circuit approaches such
as additional SCRs to c.rowbar or otherwise cancel the output function may be used.

DESCRIPTION

•
•
•
•
•

The Unitrode Nanosecond Thyristor Switch combines the turn-on'speed of logic
level transistors with the high current switching capability inherent in SCRs. With
this device engineers can now design circuits capable of switching pulse currents of
1A in less than IOns or up to 30A in less than 20ns.

Rise Time: IOns
Delay Time: 10ns
Recovery Time: 0.5 I'S
Pulse Current: to 100A
Turn-on with 20ns, 10 rnA Gate Pulse

The GAlGB200 series is specifically designed for use as switching elements in high
speed, low-to-medium power radar pulse modulators. Other applications include .
switching elements for phased array radars, laser pulse drivers, harmonic wave-form
generators, line drivers and high current replacements for avalanche transistors.
For applications requiring higher voltage levels, Unitrode has developed several
"series string" circuits which allow the series connection of virtually an unlimited
number of devices for voltages as high as 2000V with no significant decrease in
speed. These circuits are described in Unitrode's,Design Note #14.

T.-FREE AIR TEMPERATURE (0G)

TYPICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH POWER APPLIED
To determine resistance value with power applied, obtain a multiplying factor from the applicable curve below. The free-air curve is
for the condition of heat removal by free-air convection only. The heat sink curve is for the maximum cooling rate condition of a
heat sink strap, with leads attached to an infinite heat sink. Actual conditions encountered will be between these two extremes. After
selecting an applicable multiplying factor from figure 2 or 3, multiply this by the 25°C zero power resistance. This product is then
corrected for the actual ambient temperature 'by use of the appropriate temperature column in the Nominal Resistance at Various
Temperatures table.

SWITCHING REGULATOR DESIGN GUIDE

I. The Advantages of the Switching Regulator
Unlike conventional "dissipative" series or shunt
regulators, in which the power-regulating transistor
operates in a continuous-conduction mode, dissipating large amounts of power at high load currents especially when the input-output voltage difference is
large- the switching regulator has high efficiency
under all input and output conditions. Furthermore,
since the power-transistor "switch" is always either
cul Oil ur :;aluraied (excepi for a very brief transition
between those two states), the switching regulator
can achieve good regulation despite large changes in
input voltage, and maintains high efficiency over wide
ranges in load current.

industrial process control systems, instrumentation,
and communication.
Compared to the dissipative regulator, the switching
regulator does have some disadvantages which preclude its use in some applications. The primary power
source delivers current to the switching regulator in
pulses which, for efficiency reasons, have short rise
and fall times. In those applications where a significant series impedance appears between the supply
and the regulator, the rapid changes in current can
generate considerable noise. This problem can be
reduced by reducing the series impedance, increasing the switching time, or by filtering the input to the
regulator.

Because the switching regulator regulates by varying
the ON-OFF duty cycle of the power-transistor switch,
and the switching frequency can be made very much
higher than the line frequency, the filtering elements
used in the power supply can be made small, lightweight, low in cost, and very efficient- i.e., with almost
negligible power losses. It is possible to drive the
switching regulator with very poorly filtered DC (in
fact, in high-power applications, three-phase rectification without filtering of any kind is often used to
develop the input DC from the power line), thereby
eliminating large and expensive line-frequency filtering elements.

A second problem of the switching regulator, compared to the dissipative regulator, is its response time
to rapid changes in load current. The switching regulator will reach a new equilibrium only when the
average inductor current reaches its new steady-state
value. In order to make this time short, it is advantageous to use low inductor values, or else to use a
large difference between the input and output Voltage.
Improved circuits for controlling switching regulators
have been developed at Unitrode, thereby eliminating
some earlier design constraints and optimizing the
performance attainable with available hardware.
These new circuits permit taking full advantage of the
economy and efficiency of the Unitrode PIC600
Series Hybrid Power Switch.

Finally, it is possible to design switching regulators
with excellent load-transient properties, so that step
increases of load current cause relatively small instantaneous changes in output voltage, recovery from
which is essentially completed in a few hundred
microseconds.

The design approach used herein is believed to be
original, and to be clearly superior to earlier methods
of calculating the key parameters and designing the
power inductor ... yielding explicit, accurate results
in significantly less time than the approximate equations in common use.

The switching regulator has become increasingly
popular in new-equipment designs, not only in aerospace and defense applications, but in computers,

II. The Switching Regulator Described
and Characterized
The basic configuration of a switching regulator is
shown in Figure 1. It accepts a DC voltage input, Ein,
and regulates a DC ouput voltage, Eo, despite variations in Ein and load current. Although the static regulation, dynamic regulation, and ripple rejection of this
type of regulator cannot be as easily optimized as they
can in a continuous (so-called "dissipative") series
regulator, its efficiency, power density (Watts output
per cubic inch) and economy are all markedly superior
to the series regulator ... particularly for low-voltage,
high-current supplies. Unlike a series regulator, it
maintains high efficiency with high input voltages.
Switching regulators can thus be.employed with high
efficiency to derive low voltage outputs from a high
voltage unregulated supply.

load, circulating through "catch" diode D1. The input
of the LC filter is now at zero Volts, i1 decreases to
its original value and the cycle repeats.
The output voltage, Eo, will equal the time average of
the voltage at the input of the LC filter:
Eo =
where:

=

1/f

The control circuit senses and regulates Eo by controlling the duty cycle, ex = toofT. If Ein increases,
the control circuit will cause a corresponding reduction in the duty cycle, ex, so as to maintain a constant
Eo.

All of these advantages derive from the method of
regulating the output voltage: by varying the duty
cycle of a power-transistor switch, rather than varying
the voltage drop across a power transistor operating
in the linear mode. Because the switch (01 in Figure
1) is always in the saturated state when it is conducting, and is otherwise completely non-conducting (except for a brief commutation time between the ON and
OFF states), the power dissipated in the r.egulator is
much lower than it would be in a series regulator for
the same input and output conditions.

The basic switching regulator circuit functions
as follows:
The control circuit causes transistor switch, 01, to
switch on and off at a predetermined frequency, f.
During the time that 01 is on, too. the input voltage,
Ein, is applied to the input of the LC filter, causing
current i1 to increase. When 01 is off, the energy
stored in the inductor, L, maintains current flow to the

Figure 2 shows some of the important waveforms and
equations which define the operation of the switching
regulator power circuit. The following discussion is
based on several simplifying assumptions which are
explained and justified or corrected in Appendix A.
The most significant assumptions are to neglect the
saturation voltage of 01, the forward drop of D1, and
the series loss resistance, Rs, of the inductor, L.

peak to peak capacitive ripple component aVe =
aO/C = aid8fC. (The factor 8f for a triangular current waveform is comparable to 21ff for a sinusoidal
input current.)
Figure 2e shows the resistive component, VES., of the
ripple voltage which simply equals i2 x ESR, and is
in phase with i2.
Figure 2f, the total output ripple voltage, eo, is the sum
of the waveforms in Figures 2d and 2e. Note that since
Ve and v,s. are in quadrature, the greater of these two
components dominates, and for all practical purposes
the peak to peak output ripple voltage, ae o, is equal to
either aVe or aVES. whichever is greater.

Figure 2a shows the voltage across inductor, L, which
equals (Ein - Eo) during to.. and (-Eo) during toff .
Under equilibrium conditions, when output load current, 10, is constant, the average voltage across L
must, by definition, equal zero.
Figure 2b shows the current i1 through the inductor.
Under equilibrium output current conditions, the increase in current during too. ail, must equal the decrease in current during toff . The average value of i1
equals the output current, 10.

The magnitude of VESR in comparison with Ve shown in
these waveforms is not exaggerated. Indeed, when
designing a switching regulator to operate at frequencies greater than 20 kHz in order to achieve small size
and low cost in the Land C filter elements, the ESR of
the capacitor usually dominates completely. Even
when high quality capacitors (low ESR) are employed,
it is usually necessary to use a larger capacitance
value than would otherwise be required in order to
realize the ESR required to achieve the ripple objective of the design.

Figure 2c shows current i2 through the capacitor,
which is equal to (i1 - 10). The average value of
i2 = 0, and ai z = ail. Current i2 causes a ripple voltage to appear at the output. The output ripple voltage,
eo, has two components, a capacitive component, Ve,
and a resistive component, VESR, caused by the equivalent series resistance of the capacitor.

With conventional free running switching regulator . .
control circuits, capacitor ESR also causes very significant departure from the design frequency, which
can result in large ripple magnitude, inductor saturation, and switching transistor failure. In the circuits
developed at Unitrode and presented in the next
section, the frequency-variation effect caused by ESR
is effectively eliminated, leaving only the ripple consideration.

Figure 2d shows the capacitive component, Ve, of the
ripple voltage, which is the time integral of the capacitor current, i2. Note that Ve is the integral of a triangular
wave, and is not sinusoidal. Also note that Ve is in
"quadrature" with i2, in the sense ihat Ve min and Ve
max occur at times A and S, midway in the to.. and toff
intervals, when i, is zero. The total charge, aO flowing
into C is computed graphically by finding the area of
the triangular current waveform between time A and
time B (Area = Yz bh; aO = '12 X r/2 x aiz/2). The

III. Applications Circuits for Switching Regulators
The design and performance of conventional switching regulators are usually dominated by the ESR of the
output capacitor. However, in the group of circuits
described in this section, the following parametric relationships and circuit characteristics are easily and
economically attained:
• The switching frequency may be selected
and established at the optimum value for the
switching components, and will be independent of the value of the ESR of the output
capacitor.
• The value of toff is held relatively constant,
over wide ranges of load' current and input
voltage, and independent of the ESR of the
output capacitor. Constant toff results in constant ripple current and output ripple lioltage.
.• Settable overcurrent limiting is provided,
thereby protecting both the load and the
switching transistors under all conditions,
and preventing saturation of the power inductor during the startup transient period,
thereby minimizing startup overshoot.
• The overcurrent limiting circuit is significantly
lower in dissipation than conventional
current-limiHeedback arrangements.
• The drive current to the power output (switch)
stage is regulated to a pre-determined value,
for best efficiency and optimum switching
speed. Drive current is automatically increased at low temperatures and decreased
at high temperatures, thereby maintaining
optimum drive conditions for the power
switch.

3 typifies this family of regulators. ·It is shown implemented by the popularLM305 regulator IC, and a
Unitrode Series PIC600 Hybrid Power Switch, comprising a q'uasi-Darlington switching transistor,. a fast
recovery catch diode, and transistor bi.as resistors,
all matched for optimum efficiency and switching
speed (up io .100 kHz without derating). The configuration of Figure 3 is a positive output regulator, with

The circuit of Figure 3 operates in the fixed-olf-time
mode; hence, output ripple is independent of input
voltage over wide ranges. In this circuit, two feedback
signal paths are provided:
•

Note that, although the use of this circuit approach
permits essentially constant "10,," operation even with
capacitors having relatively high ESR, the output
ripple voltage is increased by high ESR. (If the ripple
developed across ESR is significantly larger than that
developed across C, then the ripple is essentially
proportional to ESR.)
Not all of the circuits that follow have all of the virtues
listed above, but the exceptions will be noted. Figure

DC Feedback. A fraction of the DC output
voltage, Eo, is fed back to the inverting in~ut
of the LM305 through voltage divider Rl, R2.
The DC voltage at the inverting input is compared to a reference voltage (approximately
1.BV) within the LM305, and the LM305 regulates Eo so that the voltage fed back to the
inverting input is essentially equal to the built
in reference voltage. The Rl , R2 divider ratio
therefore establishes the level of the DC output voltage, Eo. Resistor RS improves output
voltage regulation versus input voltage
changes by feeding a small compensating
voltage proportional to the input voltage into
the inverting input of the LM305.

• AC Feedback. Capacitor C1 feeds back an AC
voltage waveform to the inverting input of the
LM305. This voltage is proportional to the output ripple voltage plus the AC voltage developed across R" lle o + llvRI.

Current-limiting action is provided by transistor 01,
the collector of which is connected to the "gate" or
"inhibit" terminal of the LM305 (pin 7). When the load
current is normal, 01 is cut off and pin 7 floats; but
when the voltage drop across R, increases to a value
greater than the sum of V'E (01) and VRJ, 01 turns on,
cutting off the drive current from the LM305 and, ultimately, the power switch. This cutoff action is made to
"latch" by the fact that, with the drive cut off, VRl disappears. This keeps 01 on, until the current through
R, drops significantly - enough to make the voltage
drop across R, fall below the V'E of 01.

Capacitor C2 feeds back an AC voltage to the
non-inverting input of the LM305. This voltage
is proportional to the output ripple voltage plus
the AC voltage across R3, lleo + VRJ.
When the circuit values are properly established, the
same fraction of lle o is fed back to both inverting and
non-inverting inputs, thereby effectively cancelling.
The operation of the switching regulator is thus rendered independent of the output ripple voltage developed across the C or ESR of the output capacitor.

The current through R" following such an overload
cutoff action, falls linearly at the rate of Eo/L. When
01 is cut off, drive current is restored. The circuit will
then continue to switch on and off at a frequency comparable to normal operation, with the average current
limited at the design limit, and power dissipation held
to safe values.

Since the lleo components cancel each other, the
LM305 essentially compares llvRI at the inverting input
to llvRJ at the non-inverting input. Voltage llvRJ is a
rectangular waveform with a peak-to-peak amplitude
equal to I drive x R3, where I drive is the base drive
to the hybrid switching transistor provided by the
LM305, and llvRI is a triangular waveform with a peakto-peak amplitude equal io llil x R" where llil is
the ripple current through inductor L. When the drive
current is on, llvRJ is at its peak positive amplitude. As
i l increases, VRI increases proportionately. When the
positive amplitude of llvRI reaches llvRJ, this causes
the LM305 to switch off the drive current, llvRJ immediately drops to its peak negative amplitude, and h
starts to fall. When llvRI reaches a negative amplitude
equal to llvRJ, the LM305 switches the drive current
back on, and the process repeats. In this manner, the
LM305 controls the power switch so that llil is fixed.
Since toff = lli l x L/Eo, with· fixed values of Land
Eo, tOff is fixed and independent of changes in Ein
or capacitor Cor ESR values.

filter elements are reduced. However, above the frequency where the capacitor ESR exceeds its capacitive reactance, no further reduction in capacitor size
or cost will occur. This frequency, in the range of 1-50
kHz, depends upon the "quality" of the capacitor in
terms of ESR. Above this frequency, the inductor will
continue to diminish in size and cost, although when
the inductor reaches a very small size, cost will
level off.
Operation above 20 kHz is desirable to eliminate the
possibility of audio noise.
The main factor limiting high frequency operation is
the drop in efficiency caused by switching losses in
the power switching transistor and "catch" diode. The
higher cost of these fast switching semiconductors required to operate efficiently at high frequencies must
be weighed against the reduced cost, size and weight
of the Land C components to arrive at the optimum
frequency for any specific application. It may be desirable to work the design through at several frequencies in order to make a decision.

Referring to the specification for the Unitrode PIC
625/635 Hybrid Power Switch, the DC losses (Transistor VeE"" Diode V,) under the conditions of this
application amount to 10W. The following tabulation
shows the switching losses and overall efficiency at
several frequencies.

For our example, we will choose a frequency of
50 kHz, even though the efficiency is not significantly
reduced at 100 kHz. At 100 kHz most currently available tantalum and aluminum electrolytic capacitors
begin to exhibit series inductance.
Transistors and diodes which do not have the fast
switching capabilities of the PIC 625/635 will become efficiency limited at much lower frequencies.
Note that in this specific application, a dissipative
regulator design will incur power losses in the series
transistor of 350W, resulting in an efficiency of 12.5
percent!
The control circuits shown in the previous section
control the on-off switching periods by sensing and
controlling the ripple current, boil, through the inductor
L. This mode of operation results in a constant ripple
current and (assuming Eo and L are fixed) constant
off time, toff , independent of input voltage. The relationship between toff, f, Eo, and Ein is as follows (from
Figure 2a):
tOff =

(1 - Eo/Ein) / f

With toff and Eo fixed by the control circuit, f will
change when Ein changes, and f will be maximum
when Ein is maximum. In our specific example,

In the specific application defined at the beginning of
this section, the power output (Eo x 10 max) is SOW.

Losses in a practical inductor are higher
than in a capacitor with equal energy storage capacity (assuming low ESR). This
again argues for small L, large C.

One major objection to a low L/ C ratio is that it causes
large and sometimes intolerable overshoot in input
current and output voltage on startup, when the circuit
is first energized. Input current overshoot can saturate
the inductor and destroy the switching transistor. The
current limiting feature of the applications circuits
shown in Section III effectively controls the startup
transient, thereby protecting all components and minimizing voltage overshoot. With current limiting, this
problem is eliminated and no longer pertains to the
selection of Land C values.

43 kHz

The fact that the frequency changes slightly with Ein
is really not important, as stated earlier, because constant toff operation results in more constant output
ripple than constant frequency operation.
Having determined (or assumed) the maximum operating frequency and calculated toff' we next proceed to
find specific values for Land C. Land C together form
a low pass filter which reduces the rectangular waveform at the filter input to a DC output voltage, Eo, with
a small amount of ripple, Ileo, superimposed. To
achieve a specified Ileo requires a specific LC product, independent of load current. Theoretically, this
LC product can be achieved with any L/C ratio - small
L and large C, or large L and small C (or very large L
and no C at all, using instead the load resistance RL as
one element of an L/R filter). There are, however, several practical economic and performance considerations that apply to selecting specific Land C values.

Referring to Figure 2b and its associated equations,
the peak-to-peak ripple current through the inductor,
Ili I, is inversely proportional to the inductance, L. As L
is made smaller, Ili l increases. Maximum limits on Ilh
determine how small L is permitted to be, as follows:
1.

1.

Under the power and frequency ranges
commonly encountered in switching regu!ator circuits, it costs more to store energy
in an inductor than in a capacitor. Also, an
inductor will have considerably greater
weight and volume than a capacitor with
equal energy storage capacity. Small Land
large C, within the limits defined below, will
usually result in the lowest cost, weight and
size design.

The instantaneous current through L ranges
between a maximum of 10 + llid2 and a
'minimum of 10 - llid2. If llid2 is permitted
to become larger than 10, the minimum inductor current becomes a negative value. . '
This is impossible, since neither the switching transistor nor the "catch" diode will
conduct. Therefore, the switching regulator
goes into a discontinuous mode of operation which is perfectly safe, but the frequency changes considerably and regulation with output current changes becomes
relatively poor. The worst case consideration to insure that discontinuous operation
does not occur is to make llid2 equal to the
minimum load output current, 10 min, or
ilh = 2 10 min.

2.

Small L and large C results in low "surge
impedance" of the filter, hence better transient behavior with step changes in load
current.

It is not practical to apply this criterion if 10
min is very small «0.05 10 max) because
Ili l would then be very small, forcing an impractically large L value. In applications

It is favorable to push in the direction of small Land
large C for the following reasons:

where 10 min is very small, there are two
alternatives: (a) raise 10 min by preloading the supply, or (b) make ail = 2(0.05
10 max) = 0.1 10 max realizing that when
10 becomes less than 0.05 10 max, the discontinuous mode will occur.
2.

The maximum peak current is equal to the
full load current, 10 max + Aid2. As L is
decreased, the corresponding increase in
ai, will begin to cause a significant increase
in the maximum peak current. Since the inductor must be designed not to saturate at
the maximum peak current, this begins to
negate the cost, size and weight advantages
of making the L value smaller. Higher peak
currents will have an adverse effect on efficiency and transistor drive requirements,
and may require transistor and "catch" diodes with higher current ratings (and higher
cost). It is, therefore, recommended that
aid2 be no greater than 0.25 10 max, which
will limit the maximum peak current to 1.25
10 max, or ail max = 0.510 max.

The final step is to determine the requirements for
the capacitor C and ESR values which will result in the
desired output.ripple voltage, aeo. Since the two components of aeo : AVe and AVEsR, are in "quadrature",
we can consider each component separately, with a
worsi case error of iess ihan 20 percent when both
components are equal. This much error is highly unlikely, since the ESR component usually dominates
completely when operating at high frequencies.
From Figure 2d:

note that C varies inversely with f. In order to achieve
AVe less than the desired maximum Aeo, the minimUm
value for C must be determined at the lowest frequency, fm;o. calculated previously.

APPLICATION NOTE

V. Design of the Power Inductor
This simplified nomographic method facilitates selecting the smallest core that will achieve the desired
characteristics of the power inductor. This procedure
is useful in selecting the proper core and determining
wire size, number of turns, copper losses, and temperature rise. It also permits investigating the effects
of change in assumed initial conditions and in "trimming" the design.
A detailed analysis of this inductor design procedure
is contained in Appendix B.
Tables 1 and 2 give core parameters for a variety of
commonly used ferrite pot cores and Mo-Permalloy
toroids. (Note: There is no significance to the selection of manufacturers, nor is any intended. Many manufacturers make roughly equivalent cores in these
sizes, with similar magnetic properties.)
Ferrite and Mo-Permalloy powder are excellent core
materials for the switching regulator inductor. Since
the rms AC current through the inductor is small
compared to the DC current, AC losses in the winding
and core losses will be negligible compared with DC
winding losses.
Selection of the proper core for a specific application
is a process concerned with two factors: (1) The core
must provide the desired inductance without saturating magnetically at the maximum peak overload current, i 1 max. In this respect each core has a specific
(Ll2)", energy storage capability. (2) The core must
have a window area for the winding which admits the
number of turns necessary to obtain the required inductance with a wire size which will result in acceptable DC losses in the winding at the full load output
current, 10. Each core has a specific (Ll2)d;" capability
that will result in a specific power loss or temperature
rise.
The significant core parameters are primarily core
size and the magnetic gap in series with the flux path.
Consider a very small (for the application) ferrite pot
core with no air gap. The effective .permeability, /Leo
will be very large because there is no gap. Relatively
few turns will be required to achieve the desired inductance, and the power loss at 10 will be small, but
the core cannot store the required energy L(il max)2
without saturating. If we introduce a gap into this core,
the energy storage capability increases (the extra
energy is actually stored in the gap, not in the ferrite
material). However, the gap causes the effective permeability to drop, which requires more turns of finer
wire to achieve the desired inductance. If the core is

UNITRODE • SEMICONDUCTOR PROOUCTS

TEL. (617) 926·0404· FAX (617) 924·1235

too small, as the gap is increased to the point required
to achieve the necessary energy storage capability
without saturating, the DC resistance of the increased
number of turns of finer wire has increased to the
point where the power dissipation and temperature
rise is too great. This conflict is resolved by going to
a larger core with appropriate gap.
To facilitate core selection, Tables 1 and 2 contain
tabulated values of (Ll2)", energy storage capability
(saturation limited) and (Ll2bc capability (based on
power diSSipation resulting in 25°C temperature rise).
These values have been calculated for various size
cores with different gaps, by methods described in
Appendix B. Also given in the tables are the power
diSSipation corresponding to a 25°C rise for each core
size, and the effective window area for the winding,
Aw'. Tabulated AL values relate to different gaps. (AL is
the inductance index at a particular gap setting defined as the inductance in mH for 1000 turns.)
The optimum cores for switching regulator inductor
applications generally have quite large gaps, and
consequent relatively low AL values. This is fortuitous,
since the core properties are then dependent mostly . ~
on the gap itself, and variations in the magnetic ma~ ~
terials of the core are swamped out, resulting in
excellent stability and linearity. Note, however, that
in the ferrite pot core table, many of the lower AL
values are not supplied as stock items by the manufacturer, and the desired gap must be ground to size
on a special order basis.
MO-Permalloy powder cores are effectively "gapped"
by the manufacturer by means of varying the amount
of non-magnetic binder that holds the Mo-Permalloy
particles together within the core, and by the size and
shape of the MO-Permalloy particles. Thus, the "gap"
is actually distributed throughout the core material.
These cores are supplied with many different AL values
in each size.
One of the main advantages of ferrite pot cores and
ferrite E-I cores (not tabulated,.but worth considering)
is that the winding is easily formed on a bobbin which
is subsequently assembled within the two-piece core
assembly. Ferrite toroids are not recommended because of the practical difficulty of introducing a gap.
Mo-Permalloy toroids are not as convenient to wind,
but this is not a serious problem as most switching
regulator inductor designs require few turns of relatively heavy wire.

VI. Component Selection
1. Power Switching Components
Voltage ratings of the power switching transistor and
catch diode must be greater than the maximum input
voltage, Ein, including any transient voltages that may
appear at the input of the switching regulator. Low
transistor VCE,,' and diode VF at full load output current
are important considerations to maintain high efficiency (Ref efficiency calculations - Appendix A).

Fast switching diodes and transistors are required to
maintain good efficiency in high frequency switching
regulators. Transistor switching losses become significant when combined rise time plus fall time exceeds approximately 0.025 x T. Thus, for 50 kHz
operation, t, + t, should be approximately 0.5 !Lsec
or less. Transistor delay and storage times do not
affect efficiency, but cause delays in turn on and turn
off resulting in lowering the frequency of operation
and increasing ripple. Combined td + t, should be
less than 0.05 x T.
Unitrode manufactures a broad variety of fast switching
power transistors and Darlingtons, which are listed in
the Power Transistor & Darlington Product Selection
Guide. Their combinational high voltage, high current,
low saturation voltage and medium to fast switching
characteristics make them ideal for this application.
The diode reverse recovery time must be no more
than about half the current rise time through the transistor. If this requirement is not met, large amplitude
reverse recovery current spikes will be drawn from the
input power supply causing severe EMI problems.
Large transient currents through the transistor may
cause degradation or second breakdown. Referring to
Figure 1, Section II, during the time that the transistor
is off, the catch diode is conducting the output current,
10, and the transistor VCE equals Ein. When base drive
is applied to the transistor to turn it on, current through
the transistor rises from 0 to 10. During this current rise
time interval, t", the diode remains in forward conduction, but the diode current declines from 10 to 0, since
the inductor maintains the total current at a constant
value equal to 10. If the diode has recovered at the end
of the t" interval, the voltage across the transistor will
start to decrease and the diode will go into the reverse
direction. This period of time is the transistor voltage
rise time interval, t,,, which is terminated when the
transistor VCE reaches VCb., and the diode VR reaches
Ein. If the diode has not recovered at the end of the t,;
interval, it will remain a low impedance instead of proceeding smoothly into the reverse direction. Transistor
current will increase well above 10 until the diode

580 PLEASANT STREET. WATERTOWN, MA 02172
TEL. (617) 926·0404 • FAX (617) 924·1235

recovers, pulling the additional current through the
diode in the reverse direction.
This problem has probably caused more grief in
switching regulator applications than any other, and
almost completely dominates diode selection. Diode
switching losses will be completely negligible if the
diode is fast enough to minimize the recovery problem, i.e., two to three times faster than the transistor
turn-on rate.
Unitrode UES rectifiers, listed in the Rectifier Product
Selection Guide, are uniquely suited to this type of
application. With low forward drop and typical recovery
time of 20 nsec from forward currents as high as 50A,
they cause no discernible recovery spike when used in
conjunction with Unitrode's medium frequency switching transistors.
Unitrode PIC600 Hybrid Power Switches summarized
in the Switching Regulator Power Circuits Product Selection Guide combine in a single package the UES
rectifier and power switching transistor with its associated drive transistor and bias resistors. Power transistor, drive transistor and rectifier are matched to
optimize switching speeds and VeE sal' Available in NPN
and PNP versions, the PIC600 series can operate at 50
kHz with only 2.5 percent loss of efficiency compared
with operation at lower frequencies. Significant reduction of EMI can be achieved because of the reduction of
circuit wiring.

2. Output Filter Capacitor.
The most difficult component selection problem for
high frequency switching regulator applications is to
find and specify an output capacitor with suitably low
ESR. Most tantalum and aluminum electrolytic capacitor types do not have ESR specifications (probably
because ESR is not very good). In some cases, the
dissipation factor, OF, is given in the specification.
However, OF is usually specified at 60 Hz, which is
more indicative of effective parallel resistance, and is
virtually useless in determining ESR. When OF is
specified at 1 kHz or higher, it may be used to determine ESR:
ESR
OF (%) x 0.01 x Xc
OF (O;~f~ 0.01

=

=

The power circuit design example given in Section IV
requires an output capacitor with Cm;, of 114 !Lfd and
ESR m " of 0.025fl. The capacitor which comes closest
to meeting this requirement (after a limited search) is
solid tantalum, Mallory THF, 120 !Lfd @ 10V. This
capacitor has a max OF of 8% at 1 kHz, which defines
ESR m" = 0.1060. ESR is typically 0.05fl. Two of

these capacitors in parallel are required, based on
typical ESR, to achieve an ESR of 0.025,0; four in
parallel are required, based on ESR m" of the capacitor.
The aluminum electrolytic which comes closest (again
based on a limited search) is the Sprague 6720 series,
1000/Lfd @ 12V, which has an ESR m " of 0:065,0 @
50 kHz. Typical ESR is 0.025,0. In either case, a much
larger C value is required in order to achieve the desired ESR. This does have the advantage of reducing
transient voltage changes with sudden changes in
load current.
It is worth noting again that with the control circuits
shown in Section III (unlike conventional switching
regulator control circuits), the operating frequency
will remain relatively constant, regardless of ESR, although ihe output ripple voltage will vary directly with
ESR. In some cases, it may be economically advantageous to increase the value of L (and the size and
cost of the inductor) in order to reduce ripple
current, ~il = ~i2, and thereby increase the ESR,,,.

In addition to considering the C and ESR values and
appropriate volta~e derating for the application, most
capacitors have maximum RMS ripple current or max
RMS ripple voltage ratings which should not be exceeded. Actual RMS ripple current and voltage in the

which is less than the 0.05V max ripple rating of the
10V Mallory THF capacitor, and ~iRMs = 1.14A, which
is less than the 2.47A max ripple current rating of the
1000 /Lfd, 12V Sprague 6720 capacitor.
Series induciance of the capacitor is usually not significant compared to ESR at frequencies below 100
kHz. However, inductance can become dominant if
good wiring practices are not followed. Specifically,
the ground side of the catch diode should be returned
directly and as close as possible tothe ground side of
the capacitor, and capacitor lead length including
circuit wiring on both sides of the capacitor should
be minimized.

(;nntro! Amplifier and Reference.

Control circuits for switching regulators can be designed around IC operational amplifiers and separate
voltage references, or around low power voltage regulator IC's which have built-in references. Voltage regulator IC's such as the LM304, LM305, and /LA723
have the added advantage that the output current they
provide to drive the power switching transistor can be
caused to diminish at higher temperatures, which
conforms to the transistor drive requirements vs. temperature and helps to maintain optimum switching
speeds over a range of temperatures. Amplifiers used
in the control circuit should be uncompensated in order to obtain fast switching speeds, otherwise the
delay times introduced will result in lower frequency
operation and larger ripple amplitudes, and may
cause circuit instability.

Analysis of Power Circuit
(Ein - Eo)
(Ein - Eo - V"t - 10Rx)

The design equations for the switching regulator
power circuit used throughout this design guide were
based on several simplifying assumptions, which will
now be dealt with.
The simplified equations neglected the effect of
"catch" diode forward drop, VF, transistor saturation
voltage, V"" and the IR drops in the inductor and current sensing resistor, 10 Rx. If a design is implemented
using the values of L, C, ESR, and .6.i derived from the
simplified equations, then ton, toff' f, and .6.eo will differ
from the design values because of the effect of the
simplifying assumptions as follows, from Figure 2b:

The only other assumption that could have possible
significance is that the transistor switching times
are negligible at the highest frequency of operation.
The validity of this assumption is normally assured.
by selecting appropriate devices (see Section VI).
This also applies to the speed of the control circuit.
If delay time through the control circuit in addition to
transistor turn-on and turn-off times is significant with
respect to the total period, T, the consequent delay in
turning the power circuit on and off will cause a proportional increase in .6.it and .6.e o, and a proportional
decrease in frequency.

Note that .6.it is fixed, because the control circuit controls this value directly. Instead of the original design
values of too and toff, actual values too' and toff' will be
observed. Since .6.i, is fixed, we can equate Equations

Although the actual toff' is less than the assumed toff,

effect on the operating frequency is reduced. In the
worst.case, when Eo is small (5V) and Ein is high
(50V) , the actual frequency will be 25 percent higher
than the original assumed frequency, resulting in a
very slight drop in efficiency. Output ripple component .6.ve will be smaller because of the higher frequency, and .6.VESR will not change because.6.h is fixed.

lines show the voltage for the ideal diode case.) The
reverse diode current caused by diode capacitance
and recovered charge is shown by the cross hatched
area of the io curve. The transistor must conduct this
reverse diode current as well as the inductor current.
The grey area represents additional transistor dissipation due solely to the diode recovered charge and
capacitance.
Faster switching transistors will not necessarily result in
reduced switching losses. Unless a diode with recovery time 2 or 3 times faster than the transistor current
rise time is used, a faster transistor will increase the
peak recovery current in the diode and thus increase
overall switching losses. Furthermore, a diode with a
"soft" recovery characteristic will cause more dissipation than an "abrupt" type wiiil ihe same peak recovery
current. The relationship of recovery characteristic to
switching rate is discussed in Appendix B. With many
switching transistors now available a 200 nS fastrecovery rectifier will have a peak recovery current
IRM(REC) greater than shown in the io waveform of Figure 2, where it is about Va of the forward current. This
rather modest additional collector current (of 33%
above that limited by an ideal diode) can cause increased transistor power dissipation of 100 to 150%
during the turn-on period. Other serious problems can
occur from high peak currents, such as noise transients
in the line, the transistor coming-out of saturation and
forward-biased second breakdown.
Rectifiers are now available with recovery characteristics to keep these problems minimal. Their use is required for a switching supply of maximum reliability and
efficiency.
TRANSISTOR TURN-OFF BEHAVIOR:
When the transistor turns off, the diode turn-on characteristic usually has little effect on power dissipation but
may cause voltage spiking, with resulting noise and the

possibility of exceeding the transistor voltage ratings.
Diode characteristics and conditions under which
these transients occur are discussed in Appendix C.
The voltage spike is due to the forward recovery
characteristic and, when present, will occur as shown
(dotted) in Figure 3. To correct it a snubber (series RC
across the diode) may be needed. However, the choice
of an optimum diode will minimize or eliminate this
need.
POWER LOSSES IN THE
SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES
DC Losses in the buck regulator occur alternately
when the diode is forward conducting and when the
transistor is turned on. Referring to Figure 1 these intervals are t6 to t, and t3 to t. respectively. During either
Interval the dissipation is independent of input voltage,
V;, or output voltage, Vo , depending only on load current
and device voltage drop. Total circuit DC losses are a
function of VaNi because a) this ratio relates to "on"
time and b) transistor VCElsal) will probably not equal
diode VF• Neglecting switching intervals the dissipation
due to DC losses is:

~

Va

+ VCE (sal) 10 V;

Loss of efficiency due to DC losses is greatest when Vo
is low, with diode loss being more significant when Vi is
relatively high and transistor loss dominating when Vi is
close to Vo.
Transient (switching) losses in the regulator vary
considerably with voltage, being highest at "high line"
Vi (see Eq. 3). Furthermore, high voltage transistors and
rectifiers generally have longer switching times than
low voltage types. Speed and "recovery characteristic"
(see Appendix B), and consequently losses, can vary
greatly between different device types and manufacturing processes. A relationship for calculating approximate transient dissipation of practical devices during
the transistor turn-on interval is given in Appendix B.
The other component (turn-off interval) can be similarly
developed but it is not significantly affected by diode
selection. However, when transistors and/or drive
techniques are chosen for shorter fall times overall losses are reduced and the benefits of optimum diode
selection become more significant. Proper diode (and
transistor) selection is important in all switching
supplies, but the higher the voltage (and frequency) the
more significant will be the effect of selection on switching losses.
OTHER SWITCHING CIRCUITS
The pulse-width-modulated' inverter (PWM) supply
(Figure 4a) has much in common with the buck regulator. Output rectifiers also perform the catch diode
function. Current waveforms are shown in Figure 4b,

with overshoot due to diode reverse recovery and capacitance. Here again slow diodes cause additional
transistor stress, usually not reduced significantly by
transformer impedance. Leakage reactance will often
require the use of a snubber, to protect the transistor.
Transistor "on" time t and the turns-ratio control the
conversion such that

because they (0, and/or O2) are conducting the full
cycle regardless of V; to Vo ratio. Another difference is
that here the diode recovery is from half, rather than full,
load current.
The square wave inverter can be considered, in terms
of device operation, a special case of the PWM where 2t
approaches T. Regulation is achieved by varying Vi.

EMI, RFI, NOISEGiven any inductance in a circuit "loop" of wiring, a
rapid current change will generate a voltage transient,
V = L di/dt, and the energy in such a transient will vary
with the square of the current, E = V2 Ll2. The interference and voltage spiking will be easier to filter if the
energy is low and has predominantly high frequency
components.

1. IRM(REc) should be as low as possible, - accomplish
by diode selection (see Appendix B and Fig. 7).
2. L (circuit loop) should be minimum, -accomplish by
layout and interconnect geometry. (See Fig. 5).
3. Use a "soft recovery" diode (See Appendix B). However, this is an item of possible trade-off since such a
device may have longer t rr , higher IRM(AEc) and, thus,
create much higher switching loss.

At t3 transistor T2 turns on, driving full iL through O2 and

also increases proportionally.
From t. to t, both transistors are again off and at t, the

SELECTING THE BEST SWITCHING RECTIFIER
Ratings and characteristics have different priorities and
significance when they are to be applied to these power
switching circuits. Selection should be based on the
following:
1_ Peak inverse voltage, PIV of "catch" diodes must at
least equal the highest input voltage, while PIV of
center-tap output rectifiers must be at least twice the
maximum output voltage in a square wave inverter and
much greater in the pulse width modulated inverter.
More significant perhaps are the transient voltages in
practical fast switching circuits partly due to wiring
inductance and rectifier's own recovery. Unless these
are intentionally clipped, damped, or "designed out" it
is advisable to use a safety factor of 2 or 3. PIV selected

should apply over a range from lowest ambient to the
highest expected junction temperature.

Unitrode UES series is closest to the Schottky, especially at expected operating conditions.

2. Reverse recovery time tr, must be much lower than
the rise time of the transistor with which it will be used,
- preferably by at least 3 times when measured at
conditions similar to circuit operation. Selection is
complicated because rectifiers are normally specified
at conditions less severe than in power switching circuits. Furthermore, .correlation between test conditions
is not always the same (see Table I of Appendix B).

4. Maximum average rectified output current at

Following preliminary selection from available data the
devices should be compared in a circuit developing the
highest current, junction temperature and rate of current switching (- di/dt) expected.

IRM(REC) and switching loss. Note that these are the same
order of magnitude with Schottky rectifiers (due to high
capacitance, principally) as with the fastest PN
rectifiers. The figures below illustrate these points. Figure 6 shows the variation of peak current with switching
rate, using the Unitrode UES 801 in a special test circuit. Figure 7 shows the difference in IRM(REc) and t"
when representative fast recovery 00-5 devices are
measured in a JEOEC test circuit at different temperatures. In Figure 8 the incremental collector current (the
peak value in excess of 30 A) for a 30 A buck. regulator
using 50, 100, and 200 nS catch diodes is plotted as a
function of transistor rise time (and resulting di/dt). Figures ga, b, and c show the loss of efficiency due to
transistor turn-on dissipation as a function of operating
frequency, with 3 transistor rise times and 3 diode recovery times, in a regulator operated with 40 V in and 10
V out. Similar figures can be developed for other conditons using the model and assumptions in Appendix B.

maximum expected case or ambient temperature must
always be considered. Note however, that standard
curreni raiing is based on a half sine waveform. These
square wave applications at average current equal to
this rating will usually dissipate somewhat lower power,
and, thus, be used conservatively. However, regulators
with Vi :S 1.5 Vo should use a catch diode with a higher
rating than the average current it conducts at full load.

5. Peak voltage

VF(DYN) during forward recovery will
be of significance when using transistors with fast fall
times at close to the VCE rating. This is further discussed
in Appendix C. See Table II for tYflir.!l1 flp.rform;;mGEl of
representative devices. At lower values of di/dt the
peak voltages will be lower.

6. Surge current (8.3 mS) is not of great significance
because transistor saturation limits fault current. If the
power supply is designed to provide rapid charging of
a large output capacitor the "overload" requirement for
the charge time (perhaps 0.1 to 2 seconds or so) must
be considered.

2. Discussion of Variables:
Any PN junction diode operating in the forward direction contains stored charge in the form of excess minority carriers. The amount of stored charge is proportional
to the forward current level.
The diode or rectifier in a switching regulator is
switched from forward conduction to reverse at a specific ramp rate (-dlldt) determined by the external
circuit, usually by the turn-on time of the associated
switching transistor. During the first portion of the reverse recovery period, ta, charge stored in the diode is
able to provide more current than the circuit demands,
so that the device appears to be a short circuit. Transition from ta to tb occurs when stored charge has been
depleted to the point where it can no longer supply the
increasing current demanded by the circuit. The device
becomes a high impedance and during tb the reverse
voltage is permitted to increase. Reverse current, no
longer circuit determined, dwindles as excess stored
charge depletes to zero. Stored charge is depleted by
the reverse current flow and also by recombination
within the device.
At (-dl/dt) rates which are slow relative to the rate of
recombination of the specific device relatively little
stored charge is swept out. Recovery time, trr is determined mainly by the recombination rate, independent
of (-dlldt). Peak reverse recovery current IRM(REC), and
total charge associated with reverse current, QR(REC)
are almost directly proportional to (-dl/dt) (Region I,
Figure B-4). The recovery characteristic with slow
(-dlldt) rates tends to be soft.
When the (-dlldt) rate is fast compared to recombination rate (transistor turn-on faster than diode recovery
time), trr decreases as - dl/dt increases, because more
of the available stored charge is swept out sooner,

UNITRODE • SEMICONDUCTOR PRODUCTS
580 PLEASANT STREET· WATERTOWN, MA 02172
TEl. (617) 926.Jl404 • FAX (617) 924-1235

leaving little to be depleted by recombination. As
(-dlldt) increases, peak recovery current increases
and can become much greater than the original forward current level. However, QR(REC) levels off as (-dll
dt) increases because it can only approach but not
exceed the total stored charge which is a function of the
original forward current level (Region II, Figure 8-4).
Higher voltage devices have poorer recovery characteristics because they require thicker regions of higher
resistivity, resulting in greater volume of stored charge
and longer recombination rates.

With a given IF and dl/dt the QR(REC)' IRM(REC)' and trr all
increase with temperature. Recovery characteristic
changes as well (generally becoming more abrupt if
reverse current is not circuit limited, and softer if limited). Furthermore, QR(REC) increases and recovery
generally softens if higher circuit voltage is applied to a
given diode.

AppendixC
Forward Recovery Behavior and Characterization
When used in some circuits, any diode may exhibit the
phenomenon known as forward recovery. Under these
conditions, the device has an impedance which, for a
short time after initial application of forward current, is
higher than its normal "on" value. The magnitude and
duration of this transient impedance will depend on
circuit conditions and device design, varying from no
effect in many circuits to a few microseconds in the
worst case. When present, the effect is generally less
with fast-recovery rectifiers, and much less with
"computer-type" switching diodes.
Circuiis with very iast current rise time, in the direction
of forward conduction, will allow this phenomenon to
appear. Generally, these will be low-inductance circuits which allow the current to rise from zero to rated
forward current in less than the reverse recovery time
for fast stud-mounted rectifiers, and in less than 0.1 x trr
for lead mounted fast devices.
When such a source has a high voltage, of at least 10
times VF, the forward recovery phenomenon exhibits an
initial higher-than-steady-state forward Voltage. The
rise time of current is not limited by the diode and the

peak voltage decays to the specified measurement
level in the "forvv'D.rd recovery' time" tfr . The peak voltage
VFIDYNI will be strongly influenced by the current rise
time di/dt, and current IF.
When a fast-rise source has an open circuit (compliance) voltage of less than several times the diode VF,
the forward recovery phenomenon may exhibit a delay
in the rise of forward current. In this case the peak diode
voltage is limited by the source, and the "turn-on" time
is the rise time to 90% of IF.

APPLICATION NOTE

FlYBACK AND BOOST SWITCHING REGULATOR DESIGN GUIDE

Section One - Flyback Regulator'
I. Definition
A. Continuous. Mode

The flyback switching regulator described in this
application note accepts a DC voltage input and provides a regulated output voltage of opposite polarity.
This method of conversion, compared to a conventional DC to DC converter, provides advantages of
high efficiency, low cost, circuit simplicity, and a
rather wide, easily selectable choice of the regulated
output voltage, The switching transistor is not stressed
to second breakdown in either the forward or reverse
bias modes. Thus, it provides a reliable method of
converting the input voltage, The disadvantage of the
flyback switching regulator described here is that it
provides no isolation and requires a large output
filter capacitor. Primary usage of this type of regulator is in low current and/or high voltage applications,

(see Figure 1a)

In this mode of operation, a large inductor is required to insure that the inductor current never goes
to zero, Although the current through the inductor
flows continuously, the charging current to the filter
capacitor is in the form of discontinuous current
pulses, This large peak-to-peak current waveform
requires a much larger filter capacitor than the buck
regulator. Component cost is higher than with the
discontinuous mode of operation because of the
large inductance required, and transient response
is worse.

II. Design Approaches to
Flyback Regulator

B. Discontinuous Mode

(see Figure 1b, 1c)

In this mode, the regulator is designed such that at
maximum output load current and minimum input
voltage, the transistor starts conducting as soon as
the catch diode stops conducting. At a lower output
current or higher input voltage there is a dead time
when neither device conducts.

The principal difference between a flyback regulator
and a buck regulator (Ref. Unitrode Design Guide
U-68) is the manner in which energy is transferred
to the output capacitor, In a buck regulator, energy
is provided continuously, while in a flyback regulator,
energy is pumped in a discontinuous fashion. The
flyback regulator can be operated in two modes.

The output voltage can be regulated by varying the
duty cycle of the transistor switch.

III. The Flyback Switching
Regulator Described and
Characterized
The basic circuit configuration and generalized current waveforms are shown in Figure 2. When transistor Q, is turned on, the supply voltage, E'N, is applied
across power inductor L. The current through the
inductor rises linearly to a peak current level Ip:
E'N- L

Ip = - .....

This results in an energy transfer from the input
supply to the power inductor:

The voltage induced in the inductor is such that Eo

DC output current 10 is equal to the average current

a fixed frequency and varying the transistor on time,

diminishes while the switching transistor is on, and

When the transistor turns off, a voltage is induced
across inductor L which forces the current to flow
through diode 0,. All of the energy stored in the
inductor is transferred to the output capacitor and
load RL , and the inductor current diminishes linearly
from Ip to zero according to the relationship:

increases when the transistor is off. This characteristic makes it difficult to control on a fixed frequency
basis.
The simplest approach to controlling the flyback
regulator in the discontinuous mode is to establish
a fixed peak current through the inductor, which
determines a fixed diode conduction time, tD' Frequency then varies directly with output current, and
transistor on-time varies inversely with input voltage.
This is the approach used in this application note,
resulting in a simple and economical control circuit.

IV. Worst Case Design
Conditions
Design equations based on the fixed peak current
mode of operation are shown in Figure 3. The worst
case condition exists when input voltage is low while
output current is at maximum. Under these worst
case conditions, frequency is maximum and t, is zero
because the pass transistor turns on as soon as
diode stops conducting.

Since the output voltage is derived from pulses of

current, it is desirable to keep the operating frequency as high as possible in order to obtain small
size and lower cost of the filter inductor and capacitor. However, above 5-10 kHz, capacitor impedance
is usually dominated by its equivalent series resistance, ESR, rather than C value. Since the ESR
remains essentially constant regardless of operating
frequency, operation at higher frequencies does not
enable the size and cost of the capacitor to be
further reduced.
Also, at higher frequencies, transistor switching
losses become significant. Thus, a maximum operating frequency of 25 kHz is chosen for this design.

The TL497 control circuit operates in the current
limiting mode under normal operating condition.
Thus, the peak current value, Ip, is determined by the
current limiting resistor Rs. Capacitor C, is required
to prevent the TL497 from terminating the transistor
on-time prematurely. This causes an 8 p's delay,
once over-current is detected at the short circuit
sense input (pin 13 of TL497) before the transistor
switch turns off. The delay time is the time required
to charge capacitor C, to the predetermined voltage
level before drive current to the pass transistor is
removed. The current limit threshold voltage is about
1.2 volts.

The boost switching regulator is described briefly

conduction time is not fixed, but varies according
to the input voltage:

The basic circuit configuration of a boost regulator
is shown in Figure 5. When the transistor switch is
turned on, the supply voltage E'N is applied across
power inductor L. The diode is reverse biased by
voltage Eo. Energy is transferred from the input supply to the power inductor. When. the transistor is
turned off, the energy stored in the inductor L induces a voltage such that the diode conducts and
transfers the energy to the load and the output
capacitor. In addition to the energy stored in the
inductor, additional energy is transferred from the
input directly to the output during the diode conduction time.

Output voltage is regulated by controlling the duty
cycle:

This pumping action, similar to the flyback regulator,
also makes it desirable to operate the boost regulator in the discontinuous mode with a fixed peak
current through the inductor. However, unlike the
flyback regulator, in the boost regulator the diode

THERMAL DESIGN, CONSIDERATIONS FOR OPERATING UNITRODE'S TO-92

Introduction

Thermal Analysis

Unitrode'spower Darlingtons (U2TA506, U2TA508, U2TA510)
and power transistors (UPTA510, UPTA520, UPTA530 and'
UPTB520, UPTB530, UPTB540, UPTB550) in economical TO-92
plastic packages are ideally suited for use in pulsed power applications, such as lamp driving or printer driving where the inrush or
pulse drive current can be as high as several amperes. When
compared with transistors or Darlingtons in conventional power

A detailed transient thermal analysis is required to determine
the peak junction temperature and maximum allowable
power dissipation since the junctions of the transistor or Darlington are subjected to temperature excursions due to the
applied, periodic power pulses.

A) Effective Pulsed Thermal Impedance
The effective pulsed thermal impedance (6.) of a device

the advantage of a maximum operating junction temperature
(TJfmaxl of 175°C versus 150°C or 125°C) for other plastic packaged devices.
Thermal considerations are of prime concern when the TO-92
power transistors and Darlingtons are used in pulsed power
applications. This Design Guide provides a method for determining the junction temperature and maximum allowable peak
power dissipation for the U2TA506, U2TA606 and the UPTA51 0
and UPTB520 series when they are operated atfrequencies of
10kHz or less; where the switching losses ·are·negligible and
can be ignored. This method is valid for the vast majority of
pulse applications.

Peak Power

Design Examples

The peak power can be expressed as follows:
p.,=(VCE !SATI) (I •• ) + (VBE !SATI) (IB) ........... (S)

1. An incandescent lamp is controlled by a U2TAS06 Darlington operating from a 12V battery. When switched on
the lamp draws an inrush current of 3A which decays
exponentially to a steady-state value of 300mA. The time
constant of the inrush current is SO milliseconds and the
worst case ambient temperature is SS·C. The Darlington's
base drive is 30mA dc.
.

Where I pk is the peak collector current of a square pulse of
current equivalent to the applied current pulse, VCECSATl is

the transistor or Dar!ington saturation voltage at !pk, VSE,SAii
is the base-to-emitter saturation voltage and I B is the base
current. Figures 3, 4, and S are plots of VCECSATI for the
U2TA506, UPTAS10 and UPTBS20 series Darlingtons and
transistors. Figures 6 and 7 are plots of the VCECSATI. These
curves can be used in determining Ppk.

Problem:
Calculate the peak junction temperature due to the inrush
pulse and the steady-state junction temperature.

~

Solution:
The inrush current can be approximated by a square wave
of 3A peak and SO milliseconds duration. The equivalent
square pulse of current will have the same energy as the
exponential pulse if the VeE!SAT) of the Darlington is assumed to remain constant. Since the Vc ...,.n will ar.tually
drop as the inrush current exponentially decays, the result
obtained from using the square wave approximation will
be conservative.

0= .1mSec = .OS
2mSec
r(t+T) = r(2.1mSec) = 4.2·C/W (from Figure 2)
r(T) = r(2mSec) = 4.1·C/W (from Figure 2)
r(t) = r(.lmSec) = 1.1·C/W(from Figure 2)

The base drive is 200 mA and the worst case ambient
temperature is 6S·C.

Therefore:
= (lSS·C/W) (.OS) + (.9S)(4.2"C/W) - 4.1·C/W
+l.l°C/W
= B.7soC/W
Using equation (S)
p•• = (VCE!SATI) (I •• ) + (VBE!SATI) (IB) .................. (S)
1•• = 1.SA
VCE!SATI + 2V (from Figure 3)
(The VCE!SATI value at 3A was chosen to give a conservative
answer. If Tj is found to be greater than 17S·C it may be
necessary to recompute using a closer approximation of
the actual VCE!SATI which varies as the current increases
from 0 to 3A.)
IB= 20mA
VBE!SATI = 2.1V (from Figure 6)
(Again the VBE!SATI value at 3A was chosen to give a
conservative result.)

Problem:
Determine the junction temperature to insure it is within the
maximum rating of 17S·C for the UPTAS30.

Solution:
Using Equation (1)

e. = (2000C/W) (.1) + (.9) (S2°C/W) -

From equation (S) and Figures 4 and 7.
p•• = (2.3V (.6A) + (1.2V)(.2A) = 1.6W
(Again VCE!SATI and VB"SATI values at .BA rather than .6A
were used to insure a conservative answer).
Therefore, from equation (2)
Tj = 6SoC + (1.6W) (37.B·C/W) = 126·C

Therefore:
p•• = (2V) (l.SA) + (2.1V) (.02A) = 3.04W
Now Tj can be determined from equation (2)
Tj = Tambient + (P•• ) (e.) ........................... (2)
= BOOC + (3.04W) (B.7soC/W) = 107·C
This is well within the maximum rating of 175°C for the

GUIDELINES FOR USING TRANSIENT VOLTAGE SUPPRESSORS

1.0 Introduction
During transient periods, system voltages and currents are often many times greater than their steadystate values_ These transients must be considered in
overall electronic systems design to insure required
circuit performance and reliability both during and
after the transient.
Transients may resultfro'm·a variety of causes. The
most common of these are: normal switching operations (power supply turn:on and turn-off cycles),
routine AC line fluctuations, or abrupt circuit disturbances (faults, load switching, voltage dips, magnetic
coupling by electro-mechanical devices, lightning
surges, etc.). Voltage transients are a major cause of
component failures in semiconductors. Random high
voltage transient spikes can permanently damage
these voltage sensitive devices and disrupt proper
system operation. Catastrophic power supply conditions should not necessarily be the designer's prime
concern, since lower level transients can cause
improper operation of a system even though no component failures are caused. Normal power supply onoff cycles have the potential of emitting spikes with
sufficient energy to destroy an entire semiconductor
device chain. Any surviving devices are also suspect.
Trouble shooting, isolating, and replacing damaged
devices is time consuming and costly; especially
when performed in the field.

operating life. Unitrode has performed full power
pulse life tests for 100,000 pulses with negligible
change in characteristics. These devices are suitable
for almost any equipment and environment.

Suppressor for
the Application
Certain critical terms must be defined before any
discussion of "how to" choose the correct TVS.
1. Stand-Off Voltage (VR) is the highest reverse
voltage at which the TVS will be nonconducting.
2. Min. Breakdown Voltage (BVm;n) is the reverse
voltage at which the TVS conducts 1 mA. This
is the point where the TVS becomes a low impedance path for the transient.
3. Max. Clamping Voltage (VCma~ is the maximum
voltage drop across the TVS while it is
subjected to the peak pulse current, usually
for1mS.
Figure 1 graphically shows all three terms.

Unitrode's TVS305 and TVS505 series of transient
voltage suppressors (TVS) offer the designer significant price/performance advantages over other protection methods. Their miniature size permits Simple
"close-in" installation in applications where circuit
boards are dispersed throughout one or more electronic racks. Dispersed usage aids system trouble
shooting and affords transient voltage protection
where internal system disturbances such as those
caused by inductive load switching could occur.
In spite of their small size, the TVS305 and TVS505
suppressor series can dissipate 500 watts and 150
watts (respectively) of peak pulse power for 1 millisecond. Response time to transients is just about instantaneous - about 1 x 10- 12 seconds. These
devices perform to their data sheet specifications
without significant degradation throughout their

2. Stand-off voltage (VA) - From the TVS series
selected, choose the device with the stand-off
voltage equal to or greater than your normal
circuit operating voltage. This insures that the
TVS will draw a negligible amount of current
from the circuit during normal circuit operation. The electrical specifications for the
TVSSOS series are shown in Figure 3.
3. Maximum Clamping Voltage (Vemax) - Determine the clamping voltage of the device
chosen for the transient given and be sure it is
below the voltage that might damage any
components in the protected circuit. See
Figure 3.

2.1 Determining Pulse
Power Levels
Since a zener TVS has an almost constant clamping
voltage throughout a transient pulse, the transient
pulse power (PP) equals the peak pulse current (Ipp)
multiplied by the clamping voltage (Ve).

If the actual pulse power and pulse width are different
from those listed on the data sheet, the clamping
voltage can be calculated. The actual calculation
method is beyond the scope of this note. Instead, we
offer a graphical approximation using Figure 4. The
approximation is based on the ratio of the actual and
rated pulse power.

The procedure is as follows:
a. Calculate Pp (actual)::::1.3BV m;n Ipp.
b. For Pp (rated) use value from TVS data sheet
curve (See Fig. 2 for example).
c. Calculate Pp (actual)/Pp (rated).

4.3 Protecting
Microprocessor
Based Systems
While most microprocessor and Ie semiconductor
manufacturers design some form of diode-resistive input clamping network on the chip itself, transient
voltage protection offered is very minimal - on the
order of a few watts of pulse power. Manufacturers
are also reluctant to make device performance and
reliability claims when power supply operation

extends beyond the maximum rated level of the individual device for even relatively short durations
such as those that may be encountered during on-off
transitions. Therefore, there is a need for some external protective device to suppress voltage transients,
as shown in Figure 13.

APPLICATION NOTE

5.0 Alternative Protection
Devices
TVS products do not significantly degrade even after
100,000 transients.

Other protective devices such as MOVs, spark gaps,
and crowbars have one common disadvantage when
compared to zener TVS products; the response time is
from nanoseconds to as much as tens of microseconds as compared to 1 pS for an avalanche zener
diode. Even 50nS is long enough to allow a transient to
destroy the small junctions used in most integrated
circuits, logic, fast transistors, etc.

In many cases, the zener TVS and one of the alternative devices can complement each other. For
example, when used with an SeR crowbar, the zener
TVS will keep the voltage during a transient to an
acceptable level until the crowbar, which may take
10ILS to short the line, can protect the load circuits,
and in the case of a heavy transient protect the
smaller TVS as well.

In circuits where transient pulses are fairly common,
device degradation becomes a significant problem.

printed onto the BeO substrate and then fired
in high temperature furnaces. For optimum performance, the tolerances of the thick film resistors
are maintained within 10% of their design values.
The semiconductor devices used in the circuit are
all silicon planar passivated devices and are gold
eutectic mounted. Aluminum ultrasonic wire
bonding is used for interconnections.
In the second stage the BeO substrate is soft
soldered to the header for good heat -transfer.
A copper slug is interfaced between the BeO substrate and nickel plated steel header. The copper
slug is used to relieve mechanical stress between
the BeO substrate and the header and to provide
heat spreading resulting in lower thermal resistance.

ABSTRACT
Hybrid circuits offer many advantages over the
conventional discrete approach in switched-mode
converters. This paper deals with the construction
of the hybrid circuit and its thermal considerations. It examines the efficiency of a buck regulator employing a saturated transistor versus the
optimized darlington configuration. Also considered are the effects of reverse recovery of the
rectifier and base spreading resistance of the transistor on the efficiency of a switching regulator.
Finally, applications of standard hybrid circuits
for switched-mode converters are discussed.
I. INTRODUCTION
Recently a rapid increase in the use of hybrid
circuits in switched-mode power converters is
evident due to their inherent advantages. Some of
these advantages are: dc and high frequency
electrical isolation, ease in heat sinking mUltiple
power components within the single hybrid package, reduced stray parasitics, and finally, lower
overall cost compared to the discrete approach.
The hybrid circuit approach requires careful consideration of thermal design for maximum reliability and proper selection of silicon chips for best
electrical performance. This paper provides an
overview of the construction of a typical power
hybrid switching regulator circuit and its thermal
design considerations. Also considered are the
effects of the reverse recovery time of the rectifier and the base spreading resistance rBB',of the
power switching transistor on the efficiency of the
switching regulator. Applications and advantages
are also discussed for types of hybrid circuits
which are designed for low voltage applications
and other types designed for "off-line" switched
mode converters.

111. THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
The design of the power hybrid circuit requires
careful consideration to optimize important
thermal requirements; thermal cycling, resistance,
and partitioning. To obtain maximum thermal
resistance, overlapping heat flow should be avoided.
As shown in Figure 2, heat flow from silicon chips
#2 and #3 overlaps, thus reducing the thermal
capability. No overlapping heat flow occurs from
chip #1.
Thermal resistance of the package can be calculated by the formula:
t

RT = P""A
where t is the thickness of material through which
heat flows, P is the thermal resistivity of the material and A is the average area through which heat
flows.
In making a conservative calculation, it is assumed
that heat flux diverges at approximately a 45°
angle for all the materials except the copper slug
(62.5°) due to high conductivity.
The thermal resistance calculation of a hybrid
circuit is shown in Figure 2. The copper slug
between the BeO and header reduces the thermal
resistance of the package (by about .32°CIW) by
spreading the heat flow through a large area of
the steel header.
This calculation assumes that no voids are present
at the interfaces.

II. CONSTRUCTION
The power hybrid circuit PIC600 is the power 'Output stage of a buck type switching regulator as
shown in Figure 1. It consists of a high speed
darlington-connected transistor pair, a commutating diode and two thick film biasing resistors.
These components are housed in a 4 pin electrically isolated TO-66 package.
The manufacturing procedure for these devices is
divided into two stages. First, a BeO substrate
is chosen because of its excellent thermal
conductivity, - - 70% as good as copper. The
interconnection paths, pad areas for the wire
bonds and the thick film resistqrs are screen

Schottky rectifier because it has lower forward
drop than most PN junction devices. The Schottky
rectifier is a majority carrier device and has zero
reverse recovery time. However, the Schottky's
high junction capacitance (10 times greater than
PN junction devices) produces' the same effect as
the trr of PI')! junction devices. Junction capacitance does not change appreciably with temperature, so the effective reverse recovery time remains
the same with respect to temperature. Since
commercially available Schottky rectifiers have
only a 45V PIV rating, the absolute maximum
input voltage of the buck type regu lator is limited
to only 45V.

duration in the active region. This significantly
increases RFI and also increases the power dissipation in the transistor, and may cause second
breakdown.
For reliable circuit operation, trr should be much
less than the" current rise time of the tiansistoi.
This ensures minimum current overshoot in the
transistor and also minimizes the amount of time
the transistor spends in the active region during
turn-on, resu,lting in lower power dissipation and
increased efficiency. However, to obtain maximum
efficiency, all switching times, (including current
rise time) should be as fast as possible. The re.s:tifier
should be selected such that its trr is one third or
less of the current rise time of the transistor. In
swiichiny reguiaiur alJlJiic1000V) power supplies, it is desirable to have
abrupt reverse recovery time for optimum efficiency. In low voltage, high current power supplies
a soft reverse recovery rectifier is better suited
from the RFI viewpoint.

Figure 4. Effect of rBB. on Switching Times
and Dynamic Saturation

The internal biasing resistors of these transistors
are sufficient for fast turn-off without requiring
any 182·

The resistor turn-on biasing method works satisfactory up to 10A for a low voltage device without
affecting the efficiency of the switching regulator.
Another advantage of the resistive turn-off circuit
is that it limits current crowding during turn-off
thus increasing the reliability of the circuit. Since
the driver transistor operates in a saturated mode,
the device should have a high gain-bandwidth
product to minimize overall storage time.

The table shown in Figure 5 compares the efficiency of a saturated transistor (2N4150) versus
the hybrid darlington as the switching element in
a 50 kHz buck regulator. In each case, the output
device has the same size silicon chip.

The hybrid circuit PIC600 consists of two transistors connected ina darlington configuration.

In the saturated transistor approach, the transistor
is driven with a forced Beta of 5 during turn-on
and turn-off. However, in the darlington configuration, no turn-off base drive is employed. Typical
measured switching times and saturation voltages
are used to calculate losses.
From the table in Figure 5, it is evident that the
hybrid darlington approach provides best results
in terms of efficiency when the ratio between the
output and input voltage is less than 0.25. In a
darlington configuration, if the output device is
kept out of saturation, then the rise, fall and storage times will be reduced compared with the
saturated transistor. Even at higher output/input
voltage ratios the loss in efficiency because of
higher VCE(SAT) is minimal compared to the
complexity and cost of a drive circuit required for
a saturated transistor.

V. APPLICATIONS
Different applications of power hybrid circuits are
discussed in this section.
Low Voltage Hybrid Circuits «100V)
Some applications of low voltage hybrid circuits
are: low and high current positive and negative
buck-type regulators, bidirectional motor driver
circuits, PWM push-pull and half bridge converters.
Each is discussed briefly as follows:
a. Buck Type Switching Regulator
The schematic of the low cost, free running
buck switching regulator is shown in Figure 7. When the output voltage is lower than
the reference voltage, transistor Q2 is off
and transistor Q1 is on and provides the base
drive to the power hybrid circL'it PIC600.
The current in inductor L1 increases linearly
and continues to charge the output capacitor
Co. When the output voltage exceeds the
zener voltage of diode D1 (plus some fixed
fraction of VBE of transistor Q2) transistor
Q2 turns on and removes base drive current
from transistor Q 1 and hybrid circu it
PIC600. Resistor R6 and capacitor C1 are
used to provide fast switching times. The
output voltage is trimmed with resistor R3. . . . .

The plot in Figure 6 shows dc power dissipation
of a PIC625 at various duty cycles and temperatures. The efficiency of the regulator depends
heavily upon output voltage. Switching losses of
the PIC625 under conditions shown in Figure 6
are:
25°C - 0.875W
-55°C - 0.525W
125°C - 1.476W

Low voltage hybrid circuits can be operated
as high as 250 kHz due to their fast switching times. When these devices are used above
100 kHz, the storage time of the driver
transistor must be reduced. This can be done
by using a Baker clamp with resistor R1 and
diode D1 as shown in Figure 8.

PWM Push-Pull Converter
The circuit schematic shown in Figure 11 is a
width modulated push-pull converter. It utilizes
the Unitrode PIC636 power hybrid circuit.
Flux symmetry5 in the transformer core is provided by introducing an air gap in only one leg of
the EE core configuration. The voltage developed
across resistor R1 and capacitor Cl is proportional
to the flux density in the center leg of the EE
core. This developed voltage is fed back into the
control circuit at the output of the error amplifier. The output pulsewidth is corrected by the
developed voltage across Cl and R1, providing
flux symmetry in the power transformer.

Extending Output Current Capability up to
20A
The output current capability of a buck
regulator can be extended by (1) paralleling
the output devices as shown in Figure 9 and
(2) the use of a high current device as shown
in Figure 10.
The advantages of paralleling output devices
are that it allows the device to operate with
a relatively simple drive circuit and provides
simplicity of heat sinking. On the other
hand, proper current sharing .during the ontime period and turn-off time is required.
The circuit shown in Figure 9 provides the
circuit technique to do just that. The only
drawback is that it requires a dead-band
period which must be greater than 0.1 L,
where L is the inductance value of the common mode choke L1.

Bidirectional Motor Drive Circuit
These power hybrid circuits can be employed to
drive inductive loads, such as DC motors, stepper
motors, and hammer drivers. Small inductors L1
and L2 limit cross-conduction. current during
switching times of the two hybrid circuits. The
excellent switching properties of the hybrid circuit allow the circuit to be operated with high
efficiency up to 100 kHz, improving transient
response of the circuit.

A wide variety of power hybrid circuits in standard
packages for switched-mode converter applications

power supply by reducing production labor and
repair cost.

Active inrush-current limiters-unlike fuses and circuit breakersprevent dangerous situations instead of only reacting to them.
Apply limiting techniques, and you need not employ extra-hefty
rectifiers just to ensure rectifier survival during turn on.
The input filter capacitor employed in many
power-supply designs creates a potential problemhigh inrush current. Fortunate!y, though, adding a
few extra components can prevent inrush current
and its associated circuit damage.
How does the input capacitor cause such problems? Intentionally chosen for high storage capacity and low equivalent series resistance (ESR), it
behaves like a nearly perfect short circuit when the
supply first turns on. The resulting short-duration
peak inrush current can reach levels much greater
than the tolerable single-cycle ratings of the
supply's semiconductor rectifiers (thus destroying
them) and still not contain sufficient total energy
to open protective fuses or circuit breakers. Additionally, the supply's rapidly rising voltage and
current levels could cause dv/dt- or di/dt-sensitive
devices in neighboring hardware to fail or malfunction.

if the resistor is large enough to effectively control

The thermistor, while more efficient, offers little

active soft-start designs offer a best-of-both-worlds

and high operating efficiency_ This type of circuit,
shown in Figure 5, essentially incorporates a current-limitina resistor (R 11 and a bvoass switch

This circuit recovers rapidly enough to limit inrush currents that could occur as a result of even
short line dropouts. When the ac input voltage
goes to zero, the voltage across Q, also goes to
zero, and Q, turns off. When the input voltage
reappears, Q2 keeps Q1's gate circuit OF F until
R, has allowed C, to become almost fully charged.
Figure 6 graphically depicts this design's inrushlimiting ability. Note how the ISR, voltage level
(upper trace) tracks the diminishing inrush-current
pulses (lower trace) for the first three cycles. At
the '7-msec point (slightly after the third current
pulse). the peak detected voltage has dropped
below the zener breakdown point, and Q, switches

Another effective inrush-current limiter is the
phase-controlled triac design shown in Figure 7,
which operates by controlling the conduction time
of the current surges. Initially, the dc voltage (Va)
across C1 builds up slowly because of R 1 's currentlimiting action. This dc voltage helps establish a
reference (via R 11 and zener diode D 1) for the
programmable unijunction transistor (PUT) 04 and
charges the phase-control timing capacitor C2(via
R3). The PUT fires when its trigger point is
reached, turning the triac on. Thus, when Va is
initially low, C2 charges slowly, and the triac
triggers on late in the half cycle. As Va rises 01
turns on earlier in each c':,c!e until nearly 100%

DESIGN GUIDE - POWER SCHOTTKY RECTIFIERS
IN A SWITCHING REGULATOR

1.

Introduction

2.

Basic Structure

The basic construction of a Schottky rectifier is
shown in Figure 1. The starting material is a heavily
doped N+ silicon wafer on which an N-type epitaxial
layer is deposited. The resistivity of this lay~r
deteriTlines the reverse blocking voltage capability
of the rectifier. The Schottky barrier is formed by
depositing a metal layer on the N-type epitaxial
layer, and the junction formed between the metal
and the semiconductor is an abrupt junction.

Present technology is stimulating the development
of more efficient power supplies. The switching
regulated power supply is fast becoming the most
popular type especially in industrial and military
applications because it offers t-ligr.er efficiency than
a linear power supply.
Schottky rectifiers are widely used in switchedmode converters due to their inherently lower forward voltage characteristics compared with PN
junction devices. Losses in the power supply are
reduced considerably by the use of Schottky rectifiers, resulting in increased efficiency, improved reliability, and reduced size, weight and cost of the
switched-mode converter.
In a +5V T2L logic power supply, the efficiency of a
switched-mode converter is reduced 11 to 15% due
to rectifier losses. The trend is for information processing circuits to be operated at even lower voltages, making the forward characteristic of a
Schottky rectifier even more important.
Since the Schottky rectifier is a majority carrier
device, there is no reverse recovery charac.teristic
caused by minority carrier storage when the devices
switch from forward conduction to the blocking
state. However, due to the large junction capacitance, Schottky rectifiers will exhibit reverse recovery time like a fast PN junction rectifier.

The most commonly used barrier metals or alloys
are chromium, platinum, nickel platinum, molybdenum tungsten. A performance comparison of different barrier metals is summarized in Table 1. The
chromium barrier provides low forward voltage with
a very high leakage current. However, the tungsten
barrier provides low leakage current with high forward voltage. Since efficiency is a major consideration in switched-mode converters, the tlickel platinum barrier provides the best choice due to its low
forward drop with a minimum of leakage current.

3.

This application note describes, in brief, the theory
of Schottky rectifiers and compares Schottky rectifier characteristics using different barrier metals
and their effects on switching regulator efficiency.
The discussion also covers the parasitic elements in
the Schottky rectifier and considers the effects of
these elements in switched-mode converters.
Design rules are derived for optimum snubber networks to protect agai nst transient voltages and mi nimize RFI. Guidelines are provided for selecting the
proper Schottky rectifier for different types of
switched-mode converters.

Theory And Discussion of Parasitic
Elements in a Schottky Rectifier

The energy bands of a metal and semiconductor
separated by a vacuum are shown in Figure 2a. This
system is not in equilibrium. However, if an electrical connection is made between the semiconductor
and metal, charge is allowed to flow from the semiconductor to the metal. Equilibrium will be established and the Fermi levels will become aligned.
When intimate contact is made between the metal
and semiconductor, Figure 2b, the Fermi levels will
line up and there will be an accumulation of positive
charges at the surface of the semiconductor. A barrier will exist for electron flow from the metal to
semiconductor and the barrier height will be the
difference between the work function of the metal
and the semiconductor.

3.1 Forward Biased Junction
When the barrier or a junction is forward biased, the
energy level of the conduction band in the semiconductor is raised, which allows electrons to flow into
the metal as shown in Figure 3a. A small barrier does
remain, but the electron energy distribution is sufficient to overcome this remaining barrier. Increased
forward bias will overcome the barrier and current
flow will be limited only by the series resistance of
the device. Most of the forward drop at high current
occurs in the high resistivity epitaxial layer which
determines the reverse blocking voltage capability.

Since holes cannot exist in the metal, none can be
injected into it. As a result, conduction is entirely
due to electrons. This eliminates the minority carrier
related reverse recovery time.
3.2 Reverse Biased Junction
When the device is reverse biased, the conduction
band in the semiconductor is lowered by the applied
reverse biased voltage as shown in Figure 3b. For
any conduction to occur, electrons must surmount
the potential barrier created at the metal-semiconductor junction. Some electrons in the metal g2!r
sufficient thermal energy from the lattice structure
to overcome the barrier while others are able to
tunnel through the barrier. This leakage current is
temperature dependent.
3.3 Junction CapaCitance
The barrier metal and uniformly doped N-type epitaxiallayer create an abrupt junction. This results in
at least 5 times higher junction capacitance when
compared with similar slightly graded ultra-fast PN
junction devices. The depletion capacitance of a
Schottky rectifier under reverse biased conditions
can be expressed by the equation:

As can be seen from the equation, the junction capacitance is inversely proportional to the square
root of the applied reverse voltage and is practically
independent of temperature at reverse voltages
greater than 1V. When the device switches from
forward biased condition to the reverse blocking
state, current is required to charge the depletion
capacitance. Thetime requiredto charge up capacitance
is determined by the circuit impedance. This charging
current has the same effect as the reverse recovery
current of a Unitrode fast recovery "UES" PN
junction rectifier!

In a switched-mode converter, the apparent reverse
recovery time is determined by the leakage inductance
of the transformer and the junction capacitance of the Schottky rectifier. Since capacitance
does not vary with temperature, the apparent recovery
time and current overshoot remain constant with
temperature. Ringing resonance of leakage inductance
and Schottky capacitance can cause voltage overshoot.
In a high frequency switched-mode converter where
the transformer is designed with very low leakage
inductance, careful consideration must be given in
selecting the Schottky rectifier because of dv/dt
limitations.

Applications of a Schottky Rectifier in
Switched-Mode Converters

The simplified power output stage of a half-bridge
switched-mode converter is shown in Figure 4a.
When switching transistors 0, and O2 are in the "off"
condition, diodes D3 and D, conduct in the forward
direction to provide a current path for inductor L,.
Each diode carries half of the load current. When
transistor 0, turns on, current in diode D3 starts to
change from half the load current to full load current, while current in diode D, starts to change from
half the load current into the "off" condition. Current transition time in the rectifier will depend on the
current rise time of the transistor and the leakage
inductance of power transformer T2 • When current
in rectifier D3 increases to full load current, current
in rectifier D, decreases to zero.
Since a Schottky rectifier is a majority carrier
device, it should turn off instantaneously. However,
because of the larger junction capacitance of the
Schottky, rectifier compared with PN junction devices, transistor 0, supplies additional current to the
secondary winding to charge up this larger junction
capacitance. Note that the junction capacitance of the Schottky rectifier varies with reverse
bias voltage as shown in Figure 5. Also the capacitance is five times that of equivalent PN junction
devices.

As current'is increased, the voltage across the junction capacitance of the rectifiers builds up toward
the full reverse blocking state. The primary current
will be higher than the output load current divided
by the transformer turns ratio. During this period,
energy is stored in the leakage inductance due to
the excessive current on the primary side. As the

The loaded Q L should be 0.5 for a critically damped

4.1 Snubber Network Design
The equivalent circuit referred back to the primary
side when the junction capacitance is charging up is
shown in Figure 4b. The junction capacitance ofthe
Schottky and the leakage inductance of transformer
T2 form a resonant circuit. The winding resistances,
Rpw and Rsw, and saturation resistance, R" provide
very little damping to this LC tuned circuit. Therefore, its effect on damping can be neglected. The
interwinding capacitance of the power transformer
is much lower than the junction capacitance of the
Schottky rectifier and may be neglected. The simplified circuit referred back to the secondary side is
shown in Figure 4c.
Since Schottkys are prone to excessive heating and
possible damage in the breakdown mode, a proper
snubber is required. The design of the snubber network minimizes voltage spikes and snubber losses.
The snubber network also helps to reduce conducted and radiated RFI.
The optimum snubber network'should be designed
on the basis of critical damping of the LC tuned
circuit and limiting the maximum excursion of the
voltage below the PIV ratings of the rectifier.
Shown below is the LC tuned circuit with resistor
Rsnb paralleled across the junction capacitance of
the Schottky rectifier for a critically damped

4.3 Practical Example
A detailed diagram of a 150W, multiple output
switching regulated power supply is shown in Figure 10. The power supply is designed to operate
with a line input voltage of 117Vac, 60 Hz or 220V ac,
50 Hz. The regulated output voltages are +5V @ 1A,
+12V @ 1.2A, -12V @ 1A and -5V @ 1A.The output
voltage is regulated by power switching hybrid circuits
and O2 which are housed in four pin electrically isolated packages.

The output circuit of the switched-mode converter
utilizes coupled inductor L, to provide bettertracking among all the output voltages and improve transient response. Coupled inductor L2 (which is not in
the control loop) maintains the sawtooth current in
the +5V winding of L, (which is in the control loop)
providing stability in the control circuit.

a,

Since the case is electrically isolated from the active
devices, it provides the following advantages:
a) lower conducted and radiated RFI
b) ease in mounting - two devices can be
mounted on the same heat sink.
The selected switching transistor provides fast
switching time «100ns) and the diode in the hybrid
circuit provides low reverse recovery «50ns) and
forward recovery time. The proportional base drive
current to the switching transistor is supplied by the
current transformer T,.
One of the output voltages (+5V) is regulated with a
pulse width modulated (PWM) control chip
Unitrode's UC3524. The auxiliary voltage to power
the control circuit should be electrically isolated
from the line voltage. Conventionally, the 60 Hz
transformer is utilized to provide isolation and the
transformer output voltage is rectified and regulated to supply bias voltage to the control circuit.
Transistors, 0 3 and 0 4 , provide a low cost approach
in developing bias voltage for the control circuit
without the use of a 60 Hz transformer. The operation of the circuit is described in detail below.

Calculations of Snubber Network:
In the 150W switching regulator shown in Figure 10,
first calculate the current overshoot IRMIREc), the ringing frequency and the apparent reverse recovery
time without the snubber network. Then determine
the resistor and capacitor values (for critically
damped case) of the network across the Schottky
rectifier.

4.4 Thermal Stability Considerations
The reverse leakage current of a Schottky rectifier is
much higher than PN junction devices because of
the Schottky's lower barrier height. The magnitude
of this leakage current doubles approximately every
ten degrees Centigrade. Since it is temperature sensitive, the thermal stability of the system should be
checked over to avoid thermal runaway. In a PWM
switched-mode converter (i.e. push-pull, halfbridge, etc.) the rectifier can be operated at 50%
duty cycle in the reverse blocking state while the
remaining 50% of the time it will operate in the forward conduction mode under worst case conditions. However, forWard drop is also a temperature
sensitive parameter and this should also be considered when thermal stability calculations are made.
The criteria for thermal stability is defined as: "the
rate of change in power pumped into a device with
respect to temperature (dPin/dt) should be less than
the rate of change in power removed (in the applicable thermal environment) in the form of heat from
the device with respect to temperature (dPoul/dt)".

Smaller chip size will have less chance of

the reliability of the system is improved.
The disadvantage of paralleling rectifiers is that
some kind of circuit technique is required to share
the current among the paralleled devices. If the current is not shared equally, the junction temperature
of the device which conducts the higher current will
increase. The forward voltage of the device will
decrease due to its increased temperature and will
conduct an even larger share of the load current. If
adequate matching is not provided, this regenerative process continues; and if not checked in time,
the junction temperature will exceed the maximum
rating. and the device will be damaged.

4.5 Paralleling Rectifiers
When the output current required is greater than the
maximum rated forward current of commercial rectifiers, it becomes necessary to parallel the devices.
In some instances, it may be preferable to parallel
devices even when a single device of higher current
ratings is available. The advantages ot" paralleling
these devices are:
1) Heat is easier to remove when compared to a
single device with a higher current rating
because the heat is spread between two or
more devices.
2) The transformer is easier to wind since the
wire size is smaller, using a separate winding
for each rectifier.

Conclusion

Complete design guidelines for Schottky rectifiers
used in switched-mode converters have been provided. The Schottky, when compared to a fast PN
junction rectifier, offers the advantages of !O\A!sr
forward voltage and a faster reverse recovery time
which is independent of temperature. Efficiency is
improved at least 3 to 5% when Schottky rectifiers
are used in place of PN junction devices for power
rectification in switched-mode converters. Schottky
rectifiers are available with a maximum reverse
blocking voltage up to only 50 to 60V. Thus, applications of Schottky devices are limited to low output
voltages (+5V) in PWM switched-mode converters
(except for buck type and 50% duty cycie converiers). When the rectifier requires voltage blocking
capability of greater than 60V, fast PN junction devices like UES800 series rectifier offers the optimum
choice without sacrificing speed and forward voltage.

USING BIPOLAR SYNCHRONOUS RECTIFIERS
IMPROVES POWER SUPPLY EFFICIENCY
INTRODUCTION
In an off-line, switching regulated,lowvoltage power supply
for applications such as high density CMOS logic, high
speed ECl logic, etc., the power dissipated in the output
rectifiers accounts for 20-30% of the total input power.
These rectifier losses could be reduced significantly with a
synchronous rectifier technique. The bipolar synchronous
rectifier (BISYN'M) provides a cost -effective approach compared to power MOSFET synchronous rectifiers. A low

...........................

The BISYN not only provides low forward voltage but also
has a lower temperature co-efficient compared to power
MOSFETs. Thus, it maintains the high efficiency of a
switching regulated power supply. The storage time of a
BISYN Is on the order of 300-400 nano seconds. However,
the circuit presented in this paper eliminates even this
storage time lim~ation of the BISYN. The device characteristics are also briefly described.

BISYN are compared when used as output rectifiers. The
half-wave and center-tapped full-wave BISYN output circu~ for a switching regulated power supply is presented.

ohms is accomplished by cancelling two forward biased
junctions while in saturation. The BISYN is designed for low
«S.OV) voltage outputs and has the following featllres:
a) low saturation voltage with high forced gain.
b) Ultra-fast switching times.
c) First and third quadrant switching capability.

CONVERSION EFFICIENCY
The power conversion efficiency for a switching regulated
power supply is a measure of heat generated and lost in the
system. The temperature rise in the system affects the
reliabil~y. Note that the failure rate increases rapidly (log
function) with an increase in operating junction temperature. lower efficiency not only affects the reliability but also
increases the operating cost of the system. Higher efficiency results in a compact and lighter power supply w~h
simple thermal management requirements. In a typical
line-operated switch-mode converter, as shown in Figure
1, the power lost in the output rectifiers accounts for 2030% of the total input power. The circuit shown is a single
ended forward converter. Energy from the input bulk
capacitor CIN is transferred to output filter inductor land
the load, through a power transformer T, and rectifier diode
0" when transistor Q, is on.

>--.-__--.,15:1

However, when transistor Q, is off, diode 0, becomes
reverse biased and the output load receives the energy
from the output filter inductor l, through rectifier diod~ O2 .
During this period the transformer core is reset with an
eqljal and opposite voH-second product. Note that maximum conduction duty for transistor Q, is SO% and that one
of the rectifiers (0, or O2 ) is always conducting. From
Figure 1, the fraction of input power lost in the rectifier can
be calculated as follows:

APPLICATION NOTE
The above calculation shows that rectifier losses are a
significant portion of total power lost in a low voltage output
supply. The reduction in efficiency due to these rectifier
losses can be represented in terms of forward voltage drop
by a simple equation:

increased by utiiizing a power MOSFET with a low onresistance. Unfortunately, the power MOSFET synchronous rectifier is not a cost-efficient approach because:
1) Twice the silicon chip area is required when compared
with a BISYN for the same forward voltage drop at
room temperature.

Note that the temperature dependent forward offset voltage VF and and output voltage influences the efficiency of
a switching power supply. The rectifier losses are minimized with the low forward voltage of a Schottky rectifier;
but it still represents 20% of the total input power lost in
these rectifiers when used in 2.5V supply. From the above
equation, it is obvious that there is a nearly fixed fraction of
input power lost in the output rectifiers regardless of load
current. To improve the efficiency of the switching power
supply, one must select an altemative such as synchronous rectification using either a power MOSFET or a
BISYN.
The typical application of a synchronous rectifier using a
power MOSFET is shown in Figure 2.

ROs IOn) of a power MOSFET increases three times
faster with temperature than RCE of a BISYN.

As such the power MOSFET requires three to four times as
large a silicon chip for the same output current and performance as the BISYN.

BIPOLAR SYNCHRONOUS RECTIFIER
Unlike a bipolar transistor, BISYNs offer features such as
low saturation resistance (8 milliohms for 4.5mm sq. chip)
with light base drive (forced gain;::: 25) and symmetrical
voltage blocking capability for both positive and negative
input voltages. The device is specifically designed for synchronous rectifier applications with low output voltages
such as required for high density CMOS logic and high
speed ECL.
Like a power MOSFET, the saturation resistance of the
BISYN has a p0sitive temperature co-efficient; however, it
is three times smaller in magnitude. Thus it maintains high
efficiency even at elevated temperatures. The switching
times are optimized through a lightly doped, narrow base
region. The storage time and fall time of the device is on the
order of 300 and 80 nano seconds, respectively.
Unlike a power MOSFET,the BISYN has both positive and
negative input voltage blocking capability. This opens the
door for new applications, such as a synchronous PWM
regulator in which the output voltage is regulated with a
BISYN by controlling the conduction period in synchronization with the primary switching voltage.
The cross-sectioned area of a BISYN and waveforms of its
electrical characteristics are shown in Figures 3 through 6.

FIGURE 2. POWER MOSFET SYNCHRONOUS RECTIFIER.

During the on-time of primary transistor 0" power
MOSFET 02 is tumed on with a voltage generated across
winding N2, this allows secondary current to flow through
the low source-to-drain resistance ROSlon). When primary
transistor 0, is off, the power MOSFET 02 reverts to its
blocking state. The MOSFET 03 tums on and facilitates a
path for inductor current. Some inductor energy through
winding N3 is used to tum on power MOSFET 0 3. Since a
power MOSFET is a majority carrier device, the turn-off
delay is negligible. The switching losses are negligible due
to its fast switching times. The fraction of power lost in this

A BISYN is a classical low voltage bipolar transistor. When
both junctions are forward biased, the forward drops
cancel each other and provide a low drop from collector to
emitter. The saturation resistance of a BISYN is less than 2
milliohms while the rest of the 6 milliohms is contributed by
metallization, wire bond and package resistances. This is
the main reason for low composite temperature coefficient of saturation resistance. Both positive and
negative collector to emitter voltage blocking capability of
the device, with base open, are shown in Figure 4. The first
and third quadrant VeE vs. Ie characteristics of the BISYN
are displayed in Figure 5. It is obvious that the DC gain is as
high as 200 in the first quadrant and 40 in the third quadrant;
and is practically independent of collector to emitter'
voltage. First quadrant VCE vs Ie characteristics up to 100A
arc presented in Figure 6. The saturation resistance Rct:lsatlt
independent of collector current, is less than 8 milliohms;
and the device has a high gain (30) even at 100 amperes.

The devices are normalized to the same size chip and

available power MOSFET IRFZ40 has 28 milliohms ROS(on)

that of a BISYN, however, the normalized MOSFET with
Bvoss = 25V, not commercially available, will have only 18

BISYN. Similarly, the power Schottky rectifier is a 25V
Schottky (not yet commercially available). Again the area
of the silicon chips is normalized against the BISYN area.

BF : Forced gain to keep BISYN in saturation
IR: Emitter to collector leakage current IEcx

In a single ended forward converter, the output voltage is
developed by half wave rectification in the secondary circuit as previously shown in Figure 1. The rectifier diode O2,
which carries filter inductor current, must recover fast,
when primary switch 0 1 is closed to prevent problems due
to shorting the secondary through diode 0 1 . During the
recovery period high peak current will be reflected back to
the primary side. Besides EMI generation, the high peak
current will increase the power dissipation in the swttch 0 1
and can damage the power switch. Therefore, diode O2
must have very short reverse recovery time. However, the
BISYN utilized for diode O2 had long recovery time (storage
time), on the order of 300-400 nano seconds. This necessitated development of a unique circuit as shown in Figure 9,
which eliminates the storage time limitation.

VR: Emitter to collector voltage
From the above equation, it is obvious that the lower the
saturation resistance and higher the forced beta, the lower
the rectifier losses. The individual components of power
loss at 125°C junction for the BISYN are presented in
Figure 7. The worst case BISYN rectifier losses are reali:zed
at elevated temperatures. Unlike the Schottky rectifier, the
power losses are a square function of the output load
current instead of linear function.
The rectifier losses in a secondary output circuit are compared for a Schottky, a power MOSFET and a BISYN at a
typical operating junction temperature (75°C) in a single
ended forward converter, as shown in Figure 8. All the
curves are normalized for devices with equal blocking voltage and silicon chip area.

The operation of the circuit is as follows. During the on-time
of transistors 0 1 and O2, BISYN 03 is biased on and
delivers output load current through filter inductor L. The
polarity of voltage developed across winding N2 is such
that BISYN 04 remains in a blocking state. Diode 0 3 is also
biased off. When transistors 0 1 and O2 tum off, some of the
energy stored in the magnetizing and leakage inductance
enhances the recovery process of BISYN 0 3 . The recovery time (300-400 nano seconds) of BISYN 03 extends the
reset time of the core. However, in a typical design, half of
the switching period is allocated for core reset time. Thus,
the storage time has no significant effect on operation. The

TOTAL SECONDARY RECTIFIER

The BISYN rectifier uses a 4.5mm sq. silicon chip. For a
2.5V output supply, and output load current below 4A, the
power MOSFET offers high efficiency because there are
no VaElon) losses. At elevated temperatures the output current crossover point favoring the BISYN will be even lower
due to·the higher temperature co-efficient of Ros lOn) for the
MOSFET. At high output currents use of a BISYN reduces
the power losses to half of the losses of Schottky rectifiers.

During the on-time of primary transistor 01, BISYN 0 3 is on.
At this time all other devices in the secondary circuit are in
the off state. The energy from the primary side is being
transferred to the secondary through the transformer and
the BISYN 03. When primary transistor 01 turns off, current
flow in the secondary winding ceases and the vo~age
across the secondary winding collapses. The catch diode
0 1 provides the patl) for inductor current. The filter inductor
energy causes current flow through diode O2 and speeds
up the turn-off process of BISYN 03. When 0 3 recovers,
diode O2 becomes reverse biased. The induped voltage,
caused by stored magnetizing energy in the core, will turn
on BISYN 0 4 and remains on until magnetizing current
drops below diode 03 current. When both transistors 0 1
and 02 are off, 03 remains off. The catch diode D1 provides
the current path for the filter inductor. Since BISYN 0 3 is off
prior to turn-on of primary transistors 02, recovery time of
the BISYN is of no consequence other than limiting maximum dead-band period oi the circuij. The input voltage and
current waveforms of the BISYN are shown in Figure 10a.

SYNCHRONOUS PWM REGULATORS
In a typical switching regulated power supply only one of
the outputs is regulated through a closed loop; while other
auxiliary outputs may provide rough regulation. When
these outputs require tighter regulation, usually linear or
switching regulators are utilized.
In a synchronous PWM regulator, the regulated auxiliary
output is derived in one step through rectification and regulation of the secondary winding output voltage. A BISYN is
the only device which can perform this function because of
its unique third quadrant characteristics. Also, its low saturation resistance maintains high efficiency. The output voltage is regulated by gating the input pulsating DC voltage
(from secondary winding) to the LC filter, in synchronism
with the primary switching cycle. The detailed schematic of
the regulator is shown in Figure 11 .

Note that there is no standard commercially available PWM
circuit which can perform these functions without some
additional circuitry. The biasing requirements of the BISYN
03 necessitate the use of a positive and negative supply
voltage for the PWM control chip.' A commonly required
±12V output voltage can serve as a bias supply for the
PWM circuit. However, in this circuit the PWM supply voltage is developed directly from the secondary winding as
shown in the previous figure.

A level shifter is required to feed back the output voltage
sample because the control chip ground reference is different from the output Voltage. The circuit consists of transistor Oe, diode De and resistors R9 and R". A diode De
temperature compensates for the VBE of transistor 0 6. The
transistor 06 in conjunction with resistor R" converts the
output voHage into an output voltage dependent current
source. The output voltage, referenced to the negative
supply rail, is developed across resistor R9 and diode De.

The BISYN is controlled by one olthe totem-pole outputs of
the control chip 3525A. The drive current (200mA) is
limited by resistor Rs during on-time. However, during initial
turn-on, it receives a large peak value of bias drive current
because the emitter of BISYN 0 3 is maintained at a negative O.7V potential by catch diode 03 which carries the fiRer
inductor current. I he turn-on wavetorm shown In I-igure
12a demonstrates that turn-on drive current is three times
higher than steady state base drive current.

The sync pulses, referenced to the negative supply voltage, are developed with transistors Os, diode Os and the
associated Rc circuit. The resistor R2 and capacitor C2
function as a differentiator circuit, while" Os clamps the
negative voHage excursion to prevent a malfunction of the
control chip. The free running frequency is set about two
times higher than the primary transistors switching irequency by capacitor C4 and resistor R4 .

SUMMARY
In addition to synchronous rectifier, the application of a
BISYN is demonstrated for voltage regulation with
improved transient response through a synchronous. PWM
regulation technique. This is possible due to its unique third
quadrant characteristics, unlike power MOSFETs. Ultra
fast switching times allow the switching regulator to be
operated up to 250kHz.

The BISYN has extremely low «8 milliohm) saturation

compared to power MOSFETs and Schottky rectifiers. The
output current capability can be extended by paraneling
these devices,' which is possible because of the positive
temperature co-efficient.

HOW TO MEASURE KT and Kv
WITHOUT MEASURING
TORQUE OR ANGULAR VELOCITY
INTRODUCTION

minute (ft Ib/min). Borrowing some typical horses, and with
the aid of harness, weights, ropes, pulleys, and a handful of
whips, Watt determined by actual measurement that a
horse can do work at the rate of 33,000 It Ib/min - on the
average. This number is used to this day to define the unit
of mechanical work known as the horsepower:

Motor manufacturers must be able to supply a good deal of
technical details conceming the mechanical, electrical,
and thermal specifications of their motors to enable the
equipment designer to optimize their use. Among these
specifications, there are two that state a motor's performance in converting electrical into mechanical energy,
namely the torque constant KT, and the voltage constant
Kv.

1HP = 33,000 It Ib/min
or
1HP = 550 ft Ib/sec

The torque constant relates the torque produced at the
motor shaft to the applied current, and is measured in units
of torque per ampere. Thus, a motor having a KT of2 Nm/ A
will produce a torque of 2 Nm when driven with a current of
1 ampere. (The Newton-meter, Nm, is equal to 141.6.12 in
oz.) To measure KT, one applies a known current to the
motor winding - or windings - and measures the resulting shaft torque.

Suppose a certain motor can produce torque of T It Ib at a
speed of M rpm. The work done in one revolution is 21T T ft
Ib, and the rate of doing this work is 21T TM ft Ib/ min. This,
divided by James Watt's measured horse equivalent, will
be the motor's horsepower rating.

The voltage constant is a measure of the motor's back emf,
which is the voltage generated in the windings as a consequence of the rotor's movement.·This back emf increases
directly as the angular velocity increases, and is usually
given in units of volts per thousand revolutions per minute,
or V/KRPM, in this country. But there are certain advantages in stating this parameter in terms of volts per radian
per second, or Vsec/rad. To measure it, you must measure
voltage and angular velocity. This, by the way, applies to
DC tachometers as well. Torque and angular velocity are
not easy to measure, and measuring current in the
amperes range is at best inconvenient. Can one obtain
reliable values for KT and Kv through a simple measurement that is easy and inexpensive to make? A positive
answer to this question is given below.

HP - horsepower
TE-ft Ib
M - RPM.
33,000-ft Ib/HP min

If, instead of M (RPM) we prefer to use c.J (rad/ sec) for the
angular velocity, this relationship becomes
HP =

TEc.J
550

c.J - rad/sec
550 - It Ib/HP sec

Finally if we express power jn Watts instead of horsepower,

It was James Watt, the Scottish engineer and inventor
(1738-1819), who first thought of defining the output power
of his steam engines in terms of horse-power. There was a
demand for these engines to replace the working horses
that were used in the various industrial operations of the
time, such as textile, flour mills, etc. In those early days of
the Industrial Revolution, Watt and his helpers must have
been up to their necks in problems that ranged from
strength of materials, fuel selection and handling, lubrication, corrosion, mechanics, dynamics, thermodynamics,
noise, and safety, to the effects of mineral deposits in
boilers, and so on. And then, there was the problem of how
to rate the engine's power so that a given customer could
be assured that his engine, once installed, would be adequate for the job.

. which tells us where the number of watts per horsepower
comes from. Consequently, the shaft power in watts is

SCHOTTKY RECTIFIERS FOR
lOW-VOLTAGE OUTPUTS
ABSTRACT
Schottky rectifier device designs are reviewed with the aim
of obtaining minimum power loss for output rectifier applications operating in the 2 to 3 volt range. The performance
of a new low VF Schottky design is described.

Nd, Wn: doping and thickness of the n-type epitaxial

Xj:

INTRODUCTION

CPa: barrier height (V) for the Schottky junction

Schottky rectifiers are routinely used as output rectifiers in
switching power supplies. For output voltages of 5 volts or
more, the efficiencies achieved are satisfactory for most
applications. As output voltages decrease to the 2 to 3 volt
range needed for the latest MOS ICs and t02V needed for
bipolar ECl, we need to look critically at the Schottky
rectifier to see whether there is anything that can be done
to reduce the losses in this device.

n+

In this paper the circuit and device are treated together as
one problem. The circuit operating conditions are taken as
parameters and the device design is varied with the aim of
achieving minimum rectification loss. The intention is to
present results in terms which are familiar to most device
users and circuit designers. Device physics nomenclature
and analyses are kept to a minimum.

FIGURE 1. SCHOTTKY RECTIFIER CROSS-SECTION.

The paper concludes with a discussion of a new low VF
Schottky rectifier design which is currently in production.
The implications of improved cooling techniques on the
optimum Schottky design are also discussed.

'R

DEVICE DESIGN
A cross-section of a typical Schottky rectifier is shown in
Figure 1. Recent Schottky designs make use of a p-n
junction "guard ring" which is the p-type region that is used
to terminate the edge of the Schottky. A major reason for
incorporating the guard ring is to provide a transient voltage
suppressor with good energy absorption capability as
close as possible to the main Schottky junction.

Device Variables
Consider the behavior under reverse bias. If the current
flowing over the guard ring is I" and 12 is the current in the
Schottky portion, then the two components will behave with
voltage as indicated in Figure 2. The guard ring is designed
to give a breakdown voltage BV, slightly less than BV2 , the
breakdown voltage of the Schottky junction. With this
approach, transient reverse current, e.g. due to transformer
leakage inductance, which would be destructive if carried
by the 12 path will be safely shunted by the p-n junction.

FIGURE 2. REVERSE I-V CHARACTERISTICS SHOWING THE CURRENT
COMPONENTS I, AND 12 of FIGURE 1.

The vertical dimensions Wn and Xj together with Nd determine the breakdown voltage and thereby the reverse
voltage rating of the rectifier. These variables are usually
chosen to meet a given BV requirement and at the same
time minimize the series resistance contributed by the epitaxial layer.

There are five variables which are generally used to describe each design. These are:

The (electron) barrier height rpB is defined here in volts, and
it refers to the energy band diagram shown in Figure 3,
where qrpB is the distance in eV from the metal fermi level at
the surface to the conduction band edge in the silicon. The

A full-wave or push-pull type of output circuit with each

in Figure 4. Actual waveforms will show a recovery type of

switching frequencies comparable to 1MHz. For this analy-

The choice of barrier height represents a compromise
between trying to achieve a low forward drop (small rpB)
and the ability to survive high temperatures without thermal
runaway (large rpB). The influence of barrier height on
rectification losses is considered later in the paper.
From a manufacturinQ standpoint, it is desirable to limit the
number of variations of the list of five variables while still
providing a product line that meets market needs. Usually
what is done is to fix everything except AJ which is then
varied by selecting various die sizes to meet a·range of
forward current ratings.

For each application we assume that these quantities are
defined:
IF: the peak rectified forward current
VR: peak reverse voltage

The next level of adjustment involves designing to meet a
different reverse voltage while still keeping the same barrier
height. This is the type of design variation considered at the
end of the paper.

TA: ambient temperature
R8JA: junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. This
value includes the junction-to-casethermal resistance
of the package.

Adjusting rpB can be done, but it represents the most costly
of the changes available in terms of capital equipment and
process development. Therefore, manufacturers need to
be convinced of a satisfactory market size before they
undertake a change in barrier material.

If we use (1 ) to convertTAand R8JA input data to TJ, then this
list is equivalent to defining three quantities which mustbe
met by a design which is a function of the five device
variables. That is, there are two degrees of freedom in
selecting the device design. The usual procedure is to try to
minimize both the power losses PL and the device size,
which is roughly equivalent to minimizing the device cost.

Device Model
Accurate predictions of device performance can only be
achieved if one has an accurate device model. We have
found that the usual Schottky model of an ideal barrier in
series with a fixed resistance works well for a wide range of
Situations, but it is also frequently necessary to account for
conductivity modulation of the n-Iayer. This modulation is
not due to the guard ring, which injects a relatively small
amount of excess charge, but is due to the Schottky barrier
itself (1). For a given barrier this effect becomes more
important when Nd is small (higher BVs) or when the junction temperature is raised.

The curves of Figure 5 show the comparison between
measured and calculated forward I-V characteristics for a
BV = 55V Schottky, which is similar to a Unitrode USD545
(AJ = 0.176 cm2 ). The dashed line shows the calculated I-V
curve assuming a fixed series resistance, that is, no conductivity modulation. Note that there is a significant discrepancy between this and the solid curve at high currents and

MEASURED

When there is significant conductivity modulation, most of
the current is still carried by electrons. The major effects of
hole injection are to reduce the series resistance of the
n-Iayer and to increase the magnitude of recovered charge
during turn-off [1], [2]. For these reasons high-voltage
Schottky rectifiers (BV ;;: 1OOV) tend to look more like p-i-n
rectifiers than a Schottky. The junction vs. Schottky rectifier
trade-off study of Page [3] does not take into account
conductivity modulation, and it is probably worthwhile to
re-examine some of the conclusions of this paper. For the
device designs discussed here, conductivity modulation
effects are generally negligible except for the larger values
of rpe at high junction temperatures.

more advanced microwave and VLSI technologies, but the
cost of using such an approach should be weighed against
the fact that the major benefit appears to be a reduction in
high temperature leakage current by abouttwo orthreefold.

Reverse Current
Figure 6 shows a plot of high-temperature leakage current
for a device similar to that of Figure 5. The increase in
leakage current with reverse voltage is due to "barrier
lowering" or Schottky effect[4], in which the magnitude of
I::!..rp indicated in Figure 3 increases with VR.

Thermal Instability
The major consequence of the temperature dependence
of IR is that the reverse power increases with TJ and at some
point the combination of the device and its heat sink
become thermally unstable. Some device data sheets
reflect this situation by giving a TJ MAX value, but this number
can only approximate the onset of thermal instability.

Barrier lowering effects can be greatly reduced by using an
embedded grid of p-type regions under the Schottky to
achieve the "pinch rectifier" proposed by Baliga [5]. Unfortunately the dimensions of these p-regions have to be
rather small compared to Wn to avoid a severe increase in
series resistance that penalizes high-current performance.
This means p-regions with lateral metallurgical dimensions
of about 1JIm or less for the device designs being considered here. Dimensions in this range can be achieved by the

One way to describe the problem is shown in Figure 7. Here
the solid curves represent the power IR·VR which will be
"generated" by the Schottky junction under reverse bias VR.

forward power. The dashed curves are plots of (1 ) which
gives the value of TJ that must occur if PR is to flow through
ROJA to some ambient temperature TA.

The results of this type of comparison are conveniently
displayed as plots of total power lost PL vs. RoJA. Various
combinations of device variables and input conditions are
used to give an accurate picture of the tradeoffs involved.

If the system is to be stable, the heat sinking system must
be capable of removing more power than the junction can
generate. That is, the dashed curve must lie above the solid
curve for some value ofTJ.ln the example shown, it can be
seen that for a TA of 75°C, there is no problem with thermal
instability for a wide range of ROJA values.

For the first set of comparisons (Figures 8-13) the following
conditions are used:
AJ = 0.176 cm2 , which is the same as for the US0545.
Nd

The second set of dashed curves shows the situation when
TA is increased to 175°C, which is the TJMAX for the
US0545. In this case, ROJA must be less than 2°C/W if the
system is to be stable. These curves correspond to a
CPs = 0.695V. If cps is decreased, for example, to reduce
forward power losses, then the solid curves will shift
upward. Over the temperature range shown, PR will double
for a decrease of about 22 mV in cps. Thus if barrier height is
to be used as a method of decreasing losses, more effective cooling methods must accompany this change. These
tradeoffs are considered in more detail in the next section.

Influence of Forward Current

175°C

The relation between power loss PL and forward current is
shown in Figure 8, where the waveforms of Figure 3 are
assumed. PL is approximately proportional to IF, with the
change being slightly greater than calculated from this rule
due to an additional term which varies logarithmically with
current. The slight negative slope of the curves in Figure 8
is due to the decrease in VFthat occurs as TJ increases. For
each curve, PL is calculated as ROJA is increased from zero.
The plot is terminated when thermal instability is reached.

For the plots of Figures9-13, IF is fixed at1 OOA. Figure8 can
be used to extrapolate most of these results, at least up to
the point where a minimum in PL is reached.

POWER LOSS COMPARISONS
One way to see the benefits and penalties of various
changes in the device design is to use the model to calculate total power losses under a variety of conditions. To be
strictly correct, the influence of each of the five device
variables should be examined separately; however, the
problem is simplified by combining Wn, Xj, and Nd into a
function which minimizes the series resistance for a given
breakdown voltage. A slightly different procedure has been
used to analyze a foward converter [6], but the results
obtained are in general agreement with the method used
here.

1.4E16 cm 3 , Xj = 1 .1 Jim, Wn = 1 .9 Jim, corresponding
to a breakdown voltage (BV, of Figure 2) of 25V.

This value of breakdown voltage is approximately one-half
that of the US0545. The ratio VR to output voltage VRIVa,
ignoring any inductive voltage spikes, is typically less than
about 5 for a forward converter and 2.5 for a push-pull
output. If we consider an output voltage of2.5V, then a BV of
25V will provide a margin of at least 12V for any inductive
spikes. Probably the BV could be reduced even further, and
for this reason the tradeoff is considered later in Figure 14.
In this connection it should be noted that the guard ring is
capable of absorbing inductive spikes, but the corresponding power will contribute to the temperature rise of the
Schottky.

range. These results show that for a given barrier height
there will be a minimum power dissipation that can be
achieved.

Figures 11 -13 show power loss curves with cpa as the
parameter for three different values of ambient temperature. These figures provide additional quantitative detail to
the arguments advanced in connection with Figures 9 and
10.

This minimum can be further reduced by decreasing CPa as
shown in Figure 10; however, ambient temperature must
also be reduced significantly in order to avoid thermal
instability. That is, approximately 6W could be saved, in this
example, by going from a combination of TA = 75°C/W,
R9JA = 4°C/W (point 'a') to TA = 25°C, R9JA = 1 °C/W (point
'b'). The second pair of numbers would probably require
liquid cooling, which is currently used in some mainframe
computer designs.

Surface mount conditions represent extremes in the other
direction. For example, Figure 13 shows that a TA of 100°C
and R9JA of 7°C/W can still be accommodated by a
Schottky giving a respectable PL of 21 W provided cpa is
increased to 0.75V. In this case, increasing the barrier
height is beneficial.

(17.6mm2 ), the VF becomes dominated by the Schottky
junction. For this suuation the terminal VF will change logarithmically with AJ, and an order of magnuude increase in
AJ is needed to reduceVF by 60mV at 25°C.

Influence of Breakdown Voltage
It is desirable to minimize the series resistance of the
epuaxiallayer by keeping the avalanche breakdown voltage BV small. Note that this BV is equivalent to the BV,
defined in Figure 2. The effect of changing BV on power
losses is shown in Figure 14. Two sets of conditions are
assumed corresponding to "low:' and "high" temperature
designs. The device AJ is 0.176 cm2 , the same as the

THE COMPLETE POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT
The compl ete 250 wett switching power supply schematic is given
in Figure 2.
This supply meets all of the specification
requirements defined on page 1.

LINE INPUT AC TO DC CONVERSION
The input rectifier/fil ter section converts the AC line vol tage
into a crudely filtered and unregulated DC voltage, Vin' which
powers the downstream switching regul ator.
The input section is
configured as a full-wave bridge when operating from the 230 vol t
line, and as a vol tage doubl er when operated from 117 vol ts.
This provides approximately the same Vin range (200-380 vol ts)
for the switching regul ator with either line vol tage.
Minimum
input vol tage, Vmin, is 200 vol ts at low line.
The design of the input section is covered extensively in Section
11 of the Design Reference Addenda at the end of this book.
The power input required in this application equals power output
(250W) divided by efficiency (75%), or 333 watts.
Circuit values
for this application can be obtained by multiplying the 100 watt
input values given in Table I of Section 11 by "Pin/100 = 3.33,
using the worst case vol tage doubl er configuration:

SWITCHING CIRCUIT TOPOLOGY
The two transistor forward converter configuration shown in
Figure 3 wes used in this 250 watt switching power supply for the
following reasons:
1. Transistor voltage ratings are half the voltage required in a
comparable single transistor circuit (400V vs. BOOV).
Only 1/4
the silicon chip area is required for the same current rating,
and the switching speeds will be twice as fast.
2. The snubber networks are for load line shaping only and are
not required to absorb all the energy stored in the transformer
leakage reactance.
Instead,cl amp diodes 05 and 06 conserve most
of this energy by returning it to the input, improving the
effi ci ency •
3. Closed-loop stability is easier to achieve than with a
flyback converter because there is no right half plane zero.
4. Filter capacitor reqllirements are much less severe than in
boost or .flyback converters because of the output fit ter
inductor.
5. Transformer construction is simplified because there is no
need for a cl amp winding (N a is used for the auxiliary supply),
6. Reliability' is improved because faster transistors result in
reduced switching losses, and each transistor ~ssipates only one
half of these reduced losses.

transistors,

The transistors should have good VCE(sat) and switching speeds at
a collector current of at least 4.0 amperes, which includes an
allowance for unusual conditions such as short circuit current.
(Disregard spec sheet "maximum current ratings" which are
inflated for competitive marketing reasons, and focus on the
speci fied test condi ti ons.)

I!I

The collector voltage rating must be greater than maximum Vin, or
3BO volts in this application.
Conservatively, this should be
the BVCEO rating, but with careful load line shaping to make
certain the transistor is compl etely off before vol tage is
applied, a less conservative designer might specify BVCEX greater
than Vin(max).
The UMT13007 satisfies the above requirements, with BVCEO of
4DOV, VCE(sat) less than 2.0V at 5A, and worst case fall time of
4DOns under the proporti ona I base dri ve condi tions prov'; ded.
SNUBBER NETWORK DESIGN

The turn-off snubber networks shown across each transistor in
Figure 3 provide shaping of the load line to ensure that it
remains below tha reverse bias safe operating area (RBSOA) of the
transistors.
Capacitors C3 and C4 accomplish this by holding the
vol tage across each transistor ,low duri ng current turn-off.
The

that otherwise woutd have been dissipated in the transistors (see

The fil ter introduces a two-pol e characteristic at its resonant
frequency (2 KHz).
Above resonance, the gain drops 40db per
decade, and the phase shift becomes -1 80 degrees.
Combined with
the -180 degree phase shift of the feedback network, this will
cause instability ,and oscillations unless compensated.
Closing the loop involves feeding back the error voltage from the
output terminal of the supply (vo) to the IC control voltage port
(vc) through the UC1524A error amplifier. The approach taken is
to make the gain of the feedback networ.k such that the overall
loop gain crosses zero db (with adequate phase margin) at one
half the switching frequency.

m

As shown in Figure 6, control to output gain is 13.2db at low
frequencies, rolling off above 2K Hz at -40db per decade, so that
at 20 KHz the control to output gain is 13.2 - 40, or -26.8db.
For overall loop gain of zero,the feedback network gain must be
made +26.8 db at 20 KHz.
From 20KHz down to 2Kz, there is a net single zero in the
feedback network which cancel s one of the two fil ter pol es and
reduces the phase shift in this region to -270 degrees.
Below the fil ter resonant frequency the two fil ter pol es are
gone. However, the resonant frequency may be less than 2KHz
because of pi us tol erances on the fil ter capacitor. The feedback
network is therefore designed to transi tion from a net si ngl e
zero to a single pole at 1 KHz, half the resonant frequency.

the overall feedback loop.

PROPORTIONAL BASE DRIVE
In Figure 2, transistors 0.2 and 0.3 and base drive transformer T1
provide proportional drive to the bases of power switching
transistors 0.4 and 0.5. The proportional- base drive technique
provides excellent performance from high voltage bipolar
trensistors.
It provides large base current pul ses for fast
turn-on and tu·rn-off, but with modest drive power requirements.
Sustaining base drive is provided regeneratively from a collector
current winding on the drive transformer.
The transistors are
never overdriven, even under light load conditions, since the
sustaining base drive is proportional to the collector current.
Oesign considerations for the proportional base drive technique
are given in Section 01 in the design section at the back of this
book.

AUXILIARY POWER SUPPLY
A 15 volt auxiliary .supply powers the control and driver
circuits, obtaining its energy from capacitor C3. Flyback energy
is normally provided by T2 through winding Na and DS to maintain
the charge on C3 every switching cycl e.
However, at initial
power-up it is neccessary to provide separate means to activate
the Vdd supply.
Otherwise, the control and driver circuits could
not become functional and the supply could not start to switch.
The unique under-voltage lockout feature of the UC1524A
facilitates this technique.
All of its internal circuits are
disabled (except the reference) until the Vdd voltege reaches 8
vol ts.

Enough energy ~s
stored in C3 to operate the control/drive circuits for several
switching cycles, until flyback energy from winding Na can take
over and mai ntai n the vol tage on C3'
It is also necessary to eliminate base drive to 0.3 during initial
pow·er-up, otherwise 0.3 will draw current through. R4 which will
prevent C3 from initially chargi.ng.
This is accomplished by
transi stor 0.1 which di sconnects base d rive source capaci tor C4.
When the, UC1524A becomes active, its second output turns 0.1 on
periodically to charge C4.
The amount of energy stored in the power transformer is twice the
drive/control circuit requirements.
Excess energy is dumped into
15 vol t zener diode D7 whi ch establ i shes the Vdd suppl Y vol tage
at that level.

During the time the power switching transistors are. on, o.s is on,
applying Vo to the primary of T3. Through 02, this provides a
real-time feedback voltage to the control circuit across CS.
When o.s is off, 05 cl amps the flyback voltage to 15 volts. Core
reset is accomplished well before the end of the "off" time,
since the "off" time of the forward converter is always more than
50%.

Nevertheless, recovery is smooth and there is no evidence of

HIGH FREQUENCY SERIES RESONANT
POWER SUPPLY - DESIGN REVIEW
By Raoji Patel and Roger Adair

I. INTRODUCTION
In the past decade, power conversion technology has advanced from linear to switching due
to the inherent high efficiency, smaller size, and lower cost of the latter technology. Recently,
designers involved with conversion technology have started to consider resonant sine wave
power supplies because they offer even smaller size, improved reliability, and reduced EM!.

It is possible to operate these power supplies at high frequency for two reasons. First,
low-cost power MOSFETs, which, unlike bipolar transistors, have no storage time, are now
available. Second, series resonant topologies are tolerant of some undesirable features of
power semiconductor devices, (e.g., switching transition time and reverse recovery times.)
This paper explains the basic operation of the power output stage of a series resonant
converter and examines its advantages and disadvantages compared to a conventional
switching-regulated power supply. To provide a practical example, the paper details the
design of an off-line series resonant power supply. The Unitrode low-cost UC3S24A PWM
Control Circuit is utilized to provide control for the series resonant power supply.
The 200kHz resonant power supply developed herein, as shown in Figure I, operates from a
117V(±IS%), 60Hz line and meets the following requirements:
1. Output Voltage

Basic Principle and Operation
The power output stage and its associated waveforms at typical input voltage are shown in
Figures 2 and 3. During the on-time of power switch QI, the energy is delivered from the
input supply to the output load and series resonant capacitor CR. During the on-time of
transistor Q2, the energy is transferred from capacitor CR to the output load. Note that the
rectifier diodes, CR I and CR2, clamp the voltage across capacitor CR by providing a current
path through the Yin supply or ground. The AC current in the secondary winding of the
transformer is rectified by rectifier diodes CR3 and CR4 and flltered with output fllter
capacitor Co.
Under steady state condition, the output voltage Vo is reflected back to the primary side by
NVo, where N is the transformer turns ratio. The polarity of the reflected voltage depends
upon the state of transistors Q I and Q2. When transistor Q I turns on, the input voltage Vin is
applied across the series resonant network LRCR and the primary of the power transformer.
Since voltage across the primary is fixed by its turns ratio and the output voltage, the current
iR in the primary increases in a sinusoidal manner (starting at zero) because it is controlled by
the series resonant network. The voltage across capacitor CR increases in a sinusoidal manner
starting at zero, while the voltage across the inductor decreases toward zero. When the
voltage across the inductor reaches zero, the current in the resonant network ceases to
increase. At this instant, the peak current IRP can be expressed by the equation:

IRP

The other element contributing to average heating in bipolar transistors is power dissipation
during switching (see Equation 2). Power pulses-which are large in magnitude compared to
the average power, but short in duration-occurboth at tum-on and tum-off of the power
transistor in switched-mode supplies.

In some topologies, turn-on losses are negligible when compared to turn-off losses. Figure 5
shows a basic flyback converter, with the associated transistor ie and Vee waveforms.
Transformer leakage inductance, L f , is in series with the switching transistor and prevents ie
from rising significantly until v ce has fallen at turn-on. Therefore, the peak power dissipation,
which is proportional to the area of the shaded region under the curves of Figure 5, is not
great. During turn-off, Lf again restJ::ains ic from changing significantly until Vee has
completed its transition. In this case, however, a large power pulse occurs because both ic and
Vee momentarily have large values. Figure 6 shows an expanded scale of this turn-off period.
In order to calculate the energy dissipated during this transition, a method of triangular
approximation is well suited. The energy under the curves is given by:

Reducing Losses
In order to minimize bipolar transistor switching losses in any given circuit (for which ic(on),
Vce(off) and fs are fIxed), the designer has two methods available. First, he can seek to
minimize· tf and tr by providing appropriate base drive. Second, designers can alter the
switching waveforms by using snubber circuits.

1. Drive Circuit Optimization
Stored.minority carriers in the base region are the cause of bipolar transistor storage and, to a
lesser extent, fall times. Fall time, as seen above, relates directly to switching power
dissipation. Storage time, while typically having little effect on power dissipation, must
nevertheless be controlled in order to avoid problems of flux imbalance and poor dynamic
response with some topologies.
Designers commonly use two techniques to mInimize stored-charge-induced transition
times. First, the amount of stored charge is kept low by driving the transistor with the lowest
possible turn-on base current (ibl)' This current is usually chosen to drive the transistor just
into "hard" saturation at maximum ic in order to keep Vee low and minimize on-state losses.
Higher base currents would cause increased switching losses without signifIcant
improvement in on-state losses. When switching losses are extremely critical, as in high
frequency circuits (see Equation 10), a Baker clamp is sometimes used to keep the transistor
out of hard saturation altogether. Second, designers seek to remove from the base region as
quickly as possible that stored charge which does develop. This is accomplished by reverse
biasing the base-emitter junction during turn-off so that an. electrical fIeld is set up in the base
region which acts to drive out the unwanted minority carriers.' Storage and fall times are
inversely related to both turn-off curent (ib2) and voltage (Vbe(off), as shown in Figure 9.

This method must remain within the limitations of allowable on-state dissipation and base
drive circuit complexity. Further improvements can resultfrom innovative practices such as
proportional base drive and "speed-up" capacitors.
2. Snubbers
Figure 10 shows a simple turn-off snubber used to limit switching power dissipation in the
transistor by delaying the collector-to-emitter voltage rise until after the collector current has
fallen. Power previously dissipated in the transistor is now lost in the snubber resistor R a •
This leads to improved transistor reliability, but does not increase overall circuit efficiency.

Designing for a worst-<:ase junction temperature of 150° C, we can expect a transistor MTBF
of 7 . 107 hours (from Figure I). The required heat sink is determined as follows, from

Figure AI shows that with natural convection cooling (no fan), a 10 in3 heat sink would be
needed to fulfill this requirement. In order to reduce this volume, we consider using a tum-off
snubber which can reasonably be expected to reduce total switching losses by 40% to I2W.
Calculating as above, we obtain ROSA = 3.5 ° Cf W, requiring a 5.3 in 3 sink. The addition of a
tum-off snubber can therefore decrease the required transistor heat sink volume by nearly
one half. Conversely, keeping the same heat sink, the transistor can be operated cooler:
TJ= 80°C + 13.7W • (1.4

Now a MTBF of -1.7' 108 hours can be anticipated, so that the snubber improves transistor
reliability by a factor of -2.4.

Values of rds(on) for MOSFETs are of such a magnitude as to produce greater on-state losses
than with the equivalent bipolar transistor operated in saturation. Furthermore, rds(on)
increases markedly with junction temperature, as illustrated in Figure I I. Note that rds(on),
and therefore on-state dissipation, doubles with an increase in junction temperature of
100°C.
Switching times, however, do not increase with temperature, as they do with bipolar devices.
Low switching losses somewhat offset the high on-state MOSFET dissipation, particularly
at high frequencies. Since MOSFETs are majority carrier devices, they are immune from
stored-charge related switching constraints. MOSFET switching times are dependent on the
rate at which the input capacitance, Ciss, can be charged or discharged by the gate drive
circuit. Transition times of 1O-20ns are readily achievable with MOSFETs driven from

somewhat slower MOSFET switching in order to avoid rectifier recovery problems. This
will be discussed later.
With bipolar transistors, the power supply designer is faced with a complex trade-off among
on-state losses, switching losses, drive circuit dissipation and complexity, and reliability.
MOSFET designs are more straightforward, largely because on-state and switching losses
can be independently optimized.

As mentioned earlier, rectifier recovery can also cause increased power dissipation in
switching transistors. In the buck regulator circuit of Figure 13 rectifier recovery results in a
collector (or drain) current overshoot at tum-on. Since the collector voltage cannot fall until
the rectifier is beyond transition period t a, large power dissipation occurs in the transistor
throughout that period. In Figure 14 cross·hatched area II corresponds to transistor
switching dissipation in addition to the losses incurred due to tri (area I). Figure 15 shows how

SECTION 2. OTHER FAILURE MODES
The previous section described how to design against unreliable semiconductor performance
.due to excessive average power consumption. The assumptions were made that the entire
semiconductor junction or active region.was at a safe temperature which varied little through
the switching period. These assumptions allowed .the use of the very simple time invariant
thermal model of Appendix A.. However, these assumptions can become invalid if a
semiconductor is exposed to transient overheating conditions reSUlting froin excessively high
rates of change of current or voltage, or by extreme energy levels. Generalized time-variant
thermal models can be developed for such situations, but are too complex to serve as useful
design tools. Instead, designers address separately each such potential problem by relating
circuit conditions to device ratings or safe operating area curves.

One such potential problem relates to transient voltage "spiking" which can drive
semiconductors into their highly-dissipative or possibly unreliable breakdown regions. This
problem is particularly important when using Schottky rectifiers because their energyhandling capability when reverse biased can be significantly less than the forward biased
capability. The usual approach. to reliable designs when voltage spiking is possible is to limit
the spike voltage, using clamps or snubbers, to a level \Jelow the rated breakdown voltage of
the endangered semiconductor device.
Figure 18 shows a buck regulator circuit, in which the catch diode is susceptible to voltage
spiking. During turn-on of power switch Q I, parasitic wiring inductance Lw charges to a
peak current (ipk) which exceeds the filter inductor current (ir) by an amount determined by
the ta portion of the catch diode recovery time. After period ta , the catch diode can no longer
support that portion of ipk which exceeds iL, except by operating in the breakdown region.
The solution is to provide an alternative current path through a snubber network as shown in
Figure 18. This snubber also helps to reduce conducted and radiated RFI.

lose its ability to sustain its rated voltage and lapse into destructive second breakdown. The
result is a collector-to-emitter short.

The extent to which current flow is restricted depends largely on the turn-off reverse bias
voltage and current across the base-emitter junction. Increased negative bias results in
narrower current constriction. While VBE(off) determines the effective device area for
dissipating inductive energy, the inductance value L determines the total amount of energy
which is coriverted to heat within that area:

Figure 21. Photomicrograph of Damage Due to ES/B
Transistor manufacturers supply several pieces ofinformation which can be used as guides to
, preventing Es/b failure. First, -a minimum ''unclamped Es/b" specification is sometimes given.
This figure guarantees that the given amount of inductive energy can be safely dissipated by
the transistodor, a specific set ofturn-off conditions. Designers must keep in mind, however,
that E./b capability will vary with base drive parameters as shown in Figure 20.
Often, in switched-mode converters, the unclamped E./b capability of the power transistor is
inadequate to handle the highly inductive load. In these cases, designers. provide a voltage
clamp which diverts inductive energy while keeping the collector-to-emitter voltage below
the level sustainable by the bipolar transistor. Figure 22 illustrates the use of non- at which this can occur varies inversely with VCE. Manufacturers determine the

parasitic effect can limit the user's ability to utilize the entire "SOA". Figure 29 shows a
parasitic npn transistor which can cause problems when a MOSFET is operated at high
turn-off dvds/ dt.

If "collector-base" junction capacitance Ccb cannot be charged through shorting resistance
Rbe at the desired rate of dVds/dt (= dvce/dt), the "base" voltage Vbe will rise. This can cause
turn-on action in the parasitic npn which opposes the desired MOSFET turn-off. The initial
effect is delayed turn-off, but observations show that with repetitive pulses second
breakdown can occur.
This undesirable effect can be minimized by keeping shorting resistance rbe low. Unitrode
power MOSFETs use a hexagonal geometry which is optimal for achieving low rbe, and have
far better dVds/dt capabilities than do devices with other constructions.

Figure 29. Power MOSFET Construction Showing Parasitic npn
Power MOSFET Gate Voltage
Power MOSFETs are constructed with a very thin (-IOOOAO) dielectric oxide between the
gate and source. Because of its thinness, this oxide is unable to withstand large gate-to-source
voltages, and most manufacturers have ±20V ratings for this parameter. MOSFET gates are
highly susceptible to damage caused by transient circuit voltages or electrostatic discharge.
This is particularly true of low-current devices, because their small die have low gate-tosource capacitance. Evidence of this type of failure includes high gate-to-source leakage
current (IGss) and degraded transfer characteristics (VGS(th), gfs).
A simple method of protecting against gate oxide breakdown is to clamp the gate-to-soure
voltage with an avalanche breakdown transient suppressor such as the Unitrode TVS3l5
(see Figure 30). This device will clamp positive gate transients to approximately l8V, without
leading-edge overshoot.

Selecting and Applying Rectifiers
for Optimum Performance
In Switching Power Supplies
Fred Blatt
Abstract:
Rectifier behavior pertaining to switched
mode power supply applications is examined.
Characteristics important to rectifier selection
and other relevant factors are reviewed in the
context of several important applications.

General Perspective
To achieve smaller and less noisy power supplies, switching power converters are being
designed with shorter transition times and
higher switching frequencies. Historically this
has required overcoming various limitations
which have impeded progress. These usually
appeared sequentially; solving one problem
allowed a step-wise advance. Each step might
allow increasing the switching frequency or
power level until another limiting cause arose.
In this process the limiting characteristics of
various components have eventually been overcome. Power supply circuits have also been improved and new topologies developed. Some of
the advances that have taken place are:
• faster, more efficient bipolar transistors
• high efficiency ultra-fast recovery rectifiers
• power Mosfets
• integrated control circuits
• rugged Schottky rectifiers
• low ESR output capacitors
• surface-mount construction
• resonant converter designs
• high voltage ultra-fast rectifiers

Rectifier Limitations
As switching frequencies increase (and as
output power at a given frequency increases),
rectifiers may be a limiting component. Their
recovery times can impose an extra burden on
the Mosfet switch during turn-on. In resonant
converters a similar. situation may exist, but at
much higher frequency. Clamp diodes (in

bridge inverters, etc.) and output rectifiers for
medium and high voltage supplies can have
losses or noisy transient voltages which are
more important than DC losses. These probiems arid their causes are reviewed herein" and
some solutions are discussed.
Forward conduction losses: One limitation
of swithcing power supply output rectifiers is
that of forward losses. In the popular full-wave
configuration, rectifiers are conducting either
alternately or together at all times. The rectifiers in any buck derived topology, including
push-pull and forward converters, conduct the
full output current, la. Thus the DC loss equals
VF· la. Forward conduction losses are higher in
Ryback converters, since conduction is for only
a fraction of each cycle so that peak current
(and associated VF) are necessarily higher.
Forward conduction losses limit the overall
power conversion efficiency. This is a substantial limitation when the output voltage, Va, is
low. Even a Schottky rectifier, with typical VF
of O.6V, introduces a loss of 12% of the output
power in a 5V supply, 20% in a 3V output.
Designs covering the military range of input
voltages typically specify a peak inverse voltage
rating of 7 times Va. This limits the use of
most Schottkys to 5V outputs--those with PIV
above 45V are less popular and have higher VF
approaching the high efficiency, ultra-fast PN
junction devices which have the additional benefits of lower reverse loss, lower capacitance
and higher operating temperature.
When used in a 15V output, a conventional
fast recovery type (1.2V forward) loses 8%; the
high efficiency PN loses 5.3%. In higher voltage
applications, forward current is usually lower,
so this DC loss is of less concern than losses
from other components. However, other rectifier losses, transient voltages, and noise generation may be more sIgnificant.

t. interval: During ta the current has reversed, but the rectifier remains a very low
resistance. Charge (minority carriers) stored
before and during tf must be swept out before
reverse voltage can appear across the device.
During ta the switch turns on while current is
highest (output current plus IBM). In a buckderived regulator, this occurs with high voltage
across the switch, causing high peak power dissipation. It will help to reduce IBM by:
a. Using afaster rectifier (If not characterized
under conditions similar to the intended use,
be sure to compare devices under identical
test conditions), and
b. Increasing tf.This is done by not turning the
Mosfet on any faster than necessary. It is
often better to have more power dissipated
in the switch and avoid the high IBM.
Keeping IBM low has -the additional benefit
of reduced snubber needs, lower transient voltage generation, and reducing the switch drive
requirements.
With a moderate switching time relative to
the recovery time of the rectifier, IBM will be
less than /Po Under these conditions ta is constant, equal to the lifetime, and not varying
with dil dt, or even with /P if the device temperature is constant. IBM will thus be proportional to dil dt.
Significantly faster switching will make IBM
much greater than IF and approach the condition where Oa equals OF, the cIiarge stored by
/Po In this case ta will decrease somewhat and,
although IBM may be un4esirably high, it will
not increase as fast as dil dt.
For various switching conditions it is helpful
to characterize IBM vs. dil dt (or vs. current rise
time), as in the data sheets for the recently
introduced UHVP types. Measurements require
current sensors with extremely low inductance,
otherwise IBM will appear incorrectly high.
tb interval: The characteristic waveshape,
soft or abrupt, as shown in Fig. 3 during tb, will
affect device heating and circuit behavior
(generation of transient voltages and circuit
noise). The waveshape is influenced by both
device design and circuit interaction.
Device effect: Diffusion profiles including
concentration gradients, resistivity and width of
the high resistance region have a major
influence on the tb value and shape. Soft

purpose is the "multiplier diode": long lifetime

frequency.
Although soft recovery is desireable relative
to damping transients it causes more device
heating which in turn increases ta and IBM. It is
important that total dissipation be compatible
with available heat sinkillg to maintain thermal
stability.
Abrupt recovery devices have the advantage
of dissipating less power during recovery and
should thus be operable at higher frequencies
than otherwise equivalent soft types. However
more electrical noise may require filtering and
cause a higher peak voltage, VRM, which must
be examined to ensure it will not impair the
reliability of the switch or the rectifier by
driving them into the breakdown region. These
problems are controllable by snubbing; energy
is then absorbed in a resistor instead of heating
the rectifier, or the snubber energy is partly
returned to the circuit.
Whether the goal is a soft or an abrupt characteristic, a-trade-off in other features is to be
expected--refer to Fig. 3.

In low voltage, low energy applications, or in
circuits with compliance voltage less than
VFRM, this phenomenon can even delay the rise
of forward current until sufficient charge has
been injected (conductivity modulation) to reduce VF. Generally this condition is limited to
fast, low voltage logic circuits or to poorly
chosen devices in medium power circuits.
In well-designed r(!ctifier circuits the limiting
VFRM is well below the compliance voltage so
there is no delay in current rise time attributable to the rectifier. This is even true for most
low voltage output circuits (5V), where higher
pulsed compliance voltage is available due to
the inductance of circuit elements (output
inductor, transformer inductances, etc).
Devices with high forward recovery voltage:
Equation (11) shows that wide base width and
h~gh resistivity worsen the forward recovery
characteristi{:. However, these are device design
parameters required to achieve. high reverse
breakdown voltage. Fortunately these factors

can be optimized for particular requirements;
This is not normally done for reasons of device
standardization and lower manufacturing costs.
It is particularly important to optimize ultrafast reverse recovery, high voltage device types
because reducing minority carrier lifetime may
significantly increase VFRM. Unitrode recently
introduced the UHVP product line, with optimized forward recovery and other features.
Applications likely to have forward recovery
problems: Rectifier applications which experience high diF/ dt and which require high reverse blocking voltage capability are most likely
to have significant forward voltage overshoot.
An example is the clamp diode in an "off-line"
half-bridge (or full bridge) inverter, particularly
when transistor switches with fast current rise
times are used.
Misapplications (usually unintended), where
the best device has not been chosen, are also
candidates for high VFRM. It is common semiconductor industry practice to "downgrade"
devices that are really designed for higher PIV.
Also, users seeking high reliability often specify
higher voltage devices than required. These
practices cause problems not only in the high
voltage clamp application-they also generate
undesirable transients in low voltage output
rectifier and catch diode applications. This, in
turn, requires higher voltage switches and/or
wider use of turn-off snubbers or transient
suppressing components.

Selecting the Best Device
This section focuses on those characteristics
which will optimize performance in a specific
application. Thus, when there is a range of
devices with appropriate current and voltage
ratings to choose from, the circuit designer can
rank the desireable characteristics for each
major usage. First, however, we should review
the effects of each characteristic:

PROTECTING CIRCUITS FROM TRANSIENT ENERGY SOURCES

Transient energy pulses are notorious among designers of all kinds of electronic hardware
for their ability to cause failures in circuits of apparently conservative design. Logic circuits,
for example, are subject to "glitches" and timing problems if even small transient voltages
appear on supply lines. The problem is not limited to sensitive integrated circuits. Transient
energy "spikes", either coupled from AC lines or internally generated in medium and highpower equipment, can generate blown fuses, misfired thyristors and other problems having
various degrees of subtlety. Worse, unsuppressed transients can drive reverse biased
semicond uctor junctions into their highly dissipative breakdown regions. The heat generated
at these jurictions can then lead to the onset of second breakdown and permanent
degradation or outright failure of semiconductor devices and the equipment of which they
are a part. Even circuit failures of short duration or apparently minor importance can cause
serious damage to the reputations of manufacturers and designers.
Fortunately, various devices exist for protecting circuits from damage due to transient
energy pulses. The method chosen depends on the type of transient expected.

Transient Pulses Characterized
In terms of capability of causing damage, the key characteristics of a transient energy pulse
are its total energy and energy distribution in time. A large amount of energy delivered in a
short period of time is most damaging to semiconductor components. Unfortunately, total
energies of transients from many sources are unpredictable. Figure I shows where transients
produced by various common sources fall on a scale of energy predictability.

Flg.1 Predictability of Common Transient

Energy Sources

Some common transient energy pulses are quite unpredictable; still, designers want to
protect their circuits from these transients as best as is practical. What, then, can be said to
characterize these transients as much as is possible?
Figures 2a and 2b show generalized models which are widely useful in evaluating the effect
that transient energy sources can have on circuit-protecting devices (transient suppressors).
Some transient sources behave like voltage sources (Figure 2a), and can deliver to a transient
suppressor currents which are limited only by the source-to-suppressor impedance. Other
energy sources behave more like current sources (Figure 2b). One or the other of these
models can help us to understand some of the kinds of transients shown in Figurc l.

Transient Source Models

b. Current Source

Lightning is a voltage source having virtually unlimited available current. Voltages of I kV to
lOOkV for l,us to 50,us are typical at the point at which lightning strikes an AC power line.
The source-to-suppressor impedance can be thought of as having two resistive components:
Z.

= RUne

+ Rint

where RJine is the resistance of the AC line between the strike point and the susceptible
equipment, and Rint is any additionalline-to-suppressor resistance internal.to the equipment.
Commonly, Rint = Oil; the transient suppressor is directly across the AC line in the
equipment. Rline depends very much on where the lightning strikes, and is, therefore,
extremely unpredictable.
Transients produced on AC power lines due to sudden load changes differ qualitatively from
those produced by lightning, and cannot easily be interpreted as arising from voltage sources.
In fact, no simple model composed of discrete components is particularly useful in describing
these transients, because their nature is determined by the complex distributed impedance of
the AC line. In general, it can only be stated that energy stored in inductive components of
the distributed line impedance-when some load is drawing current from the line-is
released as transient energy when that load' is switched off of the line. The transient so
generated can then be thought of as arising from a current source and as having a peak
amplitude that does not exceed the peak current drawn by any single piece of equipment
located near the circuit being.protected. Experience shows that these transients are typically
less than lOOms in duration.
Up to this point, we have been discussing transients produced on AC power lines and have
reached rather tentative conclusions. Transients generated internal to the equipment being
protected are another matter and can be much better described and predicted. Designers
simply know much more about the equipment they are designing than they do about AC
power distribution systems or long-range meteorological forecasts. The generalized models
of Figure 2 can be replaced by detailed schematic diagrams showing the transient sources
and their connection to sensitive components. The tools of circuit analysis can be used to
predict with great precision the power dissipation, as a function of time, required of a
transient suppressor.

SEMINAR TOPICS
For example: bipolar transistors are commonly used to switch inductive loads in switching
power supplies. Often the circuit has the basic form of Figure 3a. In this case, the danger is
. that the energy stored in the inductor while the transistor is on cannot safely be dissipated by
the transistor after· it turns off.· The common method of protecting the transistor is to provide
a voltage clamp which prevents the reverse biased collector-base junction being operated
beyond breakdown. This, too, is shown in Figure 3a. Inductor current k is forced through
the transient suppressor when the transistor is off. This k is about the same as just before
turn-off, since the current through an inductor cannot change instantaneously. After that, k
decreases at a rate determined by the inductor voltage VL and the inductance value L:

This type of internally generated transient is so common and its effects so precisely definable,
that the current waveform it generates has become a standard waveform for testing transient
suppressors. Figure 4 shows two specific linearly decaying waveforms used by manufacturers
" and users of semiconductor transient voltage suppressors. (The finite slopes of the leading
edges of these waveforms reflect the fact that in a real circuit, di/ dt is limited by wiring
inductances and transistor fall times.) These test waveforms have the additional advantage
that they can be closely approximated by an easily generated exponential waveform (see
Figure 5).

Desired Transient Suppressor Characteristics
In principle, it is possible to limit the transient energy that can be delivered to a sensitive
component by limiting either the voltage or the current that that component can experience.
In practice, however, transient current limiting is difficult to implement, and most designs
employ some type of transient voltage suppressor (TVS) connected in parallel with the
circuit to be protected. What, then, are the qualities required of a practical TVS?
First, a TVS must not interfere with the normal operation of the circuit; i.e., at voltages less
than the maximum non-transient circuit voltage, a TVS must initially draw little current. We
define that voltage at which a TVS can be guaranteed to draw less than some specified
current as the stand-off voltage (VR) for that current. A second requirement of the TVS is
that it quickly clamps the voltage to a safe level when a transient does occur. Clamping
voltage (V c) is defined as the maximum voltage that will appear across the TVS under some
pulsed current condition after the TVS has been fully activated. Clamping time (tc) is the
time it takes the TVS to activate. "Protected" circuits may experience voltages in excess of Vc
during this defined clamping time. A figure of merit commonly used to describe TVSs is the
clamping ratio (CR), defined by:
CR =

Vc
VR

An ideal clamp would have CR = 1.
A third TVS requirement is that it be capable of safely dissipating expected transient energy
pulses. This capability is usually described in terms of allowable power dissipation as a
function of pulse time.

SEMINAR TOPICS
Earlier, we discussed the predictability of various types of transients. Predictability greatly
influences the process by which TVS power requirements are determined. For predictable
pulses, the procedure is to minimize cost by specifying power requirements just safely in
excess of the expected power for the known pulse duration. The design process is more
complex for unpredictable transients. In this case, greater TVS power capability translates
into great reliability. Therefore, the designer must make a trade-off between reliability and
cost.
Other qualities desired of a transient voltage suppressor include freedom from the need to be
"reset" after a surge and the ability to allow the protected circuit to function even during the
transient period. With respect to these qualities there are two classes of TVS widely in use.
Passive devices are those with monotonic characteristic curves, as shown in Figure 6a, while
active TVSs are switches, with negative resistance regions on their I-V curves (Figure 6b). A
passive TVS has CR > I, does not need to be reset, and allows many circuits to function
during a transient. Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs) and semiconductor avalanche TVSs'" are
passive. An active TVS works by switching to a near-short condition when it senses a
transient pulse; so that CR O. Circuits protected by an active TVS do not funciton during
the transient period (since they effectively become shorted out) and, in fact, will continue not
to function after the transient period until the TVS "switch" is somehow turned off. Active
transient suppressors include spark gap, gas tube and thyristor "crowbars". Combinations of
active and passive TVSs, together with isolating elements and special reset circuits may be
designed to keep circuits functional during most transients while utilizing the best features of
both types of TVS.

Comparison of Commonly Used Suppressors
Active TVSs, in addition to their need to be reset, have the added disadvantage of being
bulky and costly in comparison to passive devices. Furthermore, they do not protect below
Ve during the clamping time te. Their advantage, and the reason for their continued use, is
their ability to safely handle very large pulse currents. Passive devices cannot operate at
extreme current levels for two reasons. They clamp at higher voltages and are physically
smaller than the active TVSs, and therefore-at any given current level-the passive devices
dissipate more power and operate at higher current densities. An advantage of
semiconductor TVSs is their freedom from overshoot during the transient.
MOVs have other limitations. They degrade with use, and their rated pulse currents decrease
markedly as the number of lifetime pulses they are to experience increases (Figure 7). MOVs
have higher clamping ratios than those of equivalent semiconductor TVSs (Figure 8). MOVs
are bidirectional devices, i.e. they clamp at approximately the same voltage in each direction.

SEMINAR TOPICS
Semiconductor TVS devices are preferred by power supply designers who must guard
against predictable, moderate energy transients. The following section describes these
devices in more detail, and offers selection guidelines and design examples.
Semiconductor TVSs
Unitrode offers several semiconductor TVS lines to commercial, industrial and military
customers. Unitrode TVSs exploit the extremely rapid avalanche breakdown of a p-n
junction in order to function as voltage clamps. TVS power ratings are specified for I ms (for
50% decay) exponentially decaying pulses (ref. Figure 5). Units are available with 150W and
500W power ratings for industrial/commercial applications, and 500W and 1500W military
types meet MIL-S-19500/551 and /434 respectively. Also, Unitrode markets zener diodes
(I to lOW DC) which have the same avalanche characteristics as the TVS devices, and can be
used as transient suppressors.
To select the appropriate TVS for a given application, begin by determining the required
stand-off voltage. VR should be equal to or greater than the maximum non-transient voltage
that is expected to appear across the TVS. Next, determine the TVS power requirements.
Unitrode publishes room temperature pulsed power curves, in conjunction with junction
temperature derating curves, for each TVS family (Figure 9). The pulse power rating curves
(Figures 9a and 9b) apply to exponential pulses. If the expected pulse is not exponential, or
approximately so, then construct an exponential pulse having the same peak power and total
energy (i.e. area under the power curve) as the expected pulse (see Figure 5). Use the duration
of this pulse when using the peak pulse power curves to determine which device family has
adequate capability. The power and stand-off voltage considerations should point to one
TVS part number.

As a final step in the selection process, determine if the clamping voltage of the tentatively
selected TVS is low enough at the expected pulse current. Figure 10 is a convenient graph
used to quickly determine if the clamping voltage will be adequate. If not, try a TVS with a
higher power rating.

To illustrate this selection process, let us consider in detail an inductive switching application
of the type earlier mentioned. Figure Iia shows such an application.
Determining the required stand-off voltage rating is simple. The greatest non-transient
voltage that will appear across the TVS is just the supply voltage Vee = 15V. So a TVS with
VR = 15V will not interfere with the normal operation of the circuit.
As discussed before, the transient current induced in the TVS will show a linearly decaying
time response (see Figure II b). The peak current ip is equal to the inductor current just prior
to the turn-off of QI. Making the worst-case assumptions that this system is in equilibrium
before Q I turns off, and that Q I is then well saturated;
ip = idt = 0-) = 15V flO = 15A
The peak pulse power pp is given by:

For a first estimate of this power, assume Vc

=1.3 VR =19.5V.

Then:
pp

= 15A x 19.5V = 290W

The time for the current pulse to decay to zero is:
ipL _ 15A x 2mH =
1.5ms
Vc 19.5V

The equivalent exponential pulse would have tp"'" t1/2 = .75ms. Referring to Figures 9a and
9~, We can see that a Unitrodc T\'S300 serie5 device \vcu!d net be adequate for this
application, but that a TVS515 would operate with a comfortable margin for error.
Finally, we check to see if our estimate that Vc = 1.3 VRis reasonable. To use Figure 10, we
first calculate:
pp (ACTUAL)
pp (RATED)
The clamping ratio,. curve then gives Ve/VR "'" 1.32. Had our original estimate been less
accurate, we could have re-itterated the calculations, using the clamping voltage obtained in
the final step.

If available TVS devices do not meet all the needs of a particular application, consider using
a U nitrode zener diode. These diodes are not characterized as conveniently as are the TVS
series for use as transient suppressors. However, designers can assume that these zeners will
stand off voltages up to 85% of their minimum Vz, and that they follow the clamping voltage
curve of Figure 10. Other requirements for improved P and/ or CR can be serviced by series
connected TVSs or zeners.
Designers often ask about the use of bidirectional semiconductor TVSs. Bidirectional
suppressors should only be used when the non-transient voltage is bidirectional; i.e. when
both positive and negative non-zero stand-off voltages are required. This applies regardless
of the. expected transient polarities. The reason for this is that the unidirectional TVS has a
lower· voltage clamp for negative polarity transients than does the bidirectional. Consider the
protection of a bipolar transistor, as shown in Figure 12. If a bidirectional TVS is used
(Figure 12a), then a negative transient current is will break over the transistor's emitter-base
junction if the TVS has Vs greater than the breakdown voltage of that junction. On the other
hand, a unidirectional TVS (Figure 12b) becomes forward biased and clamps at no more
than a few volts even at very high currents. The low voltage emitter-base junction is safe in
this case. Knowledge of the usefulness of this low voltage negative clamping characteristic
has prompted the military to include reverse clamping voltage specifications for new IN-type
transient suppressors. (See, for instance, MIL-S-19500 /55 I.)

The predictability of transient energy sources was earlier discussed. Often, it was found, the
designer cannot accurately characterize expected transients.
It is possible, then, that a TVS could experience a pulse with energy in excess of that
predicted by the designer. Faced with this potential situation, the designer should consider
how the TVS behaves if overpowered.

A TVS, operating at a power level it cannot sustain, must react either to decrease the current
that is flowing through it, or to decrease the voltage across which the current flows. Either the
TVS tends toward an open circuit, or it becomes nearly 'a short circuit.
From a design standpoint, it is most often advantageous for the TVS to become a short
circuit or very low resistance when subjected to a high energy transient. The primary purpose
of the TVS is to protect other components. This is not accomplished if the TVS becomes
highly resistive.
When overpowered by high transient field conditions, Unitrode Transient Voltage
Suppressors and zener diodes fail in the "shorted mode. The mechanism is the sam~ "second
breakdown phenomenon observed in power transistors.

Only under very extreme pulse conditions will Unitrode TVSs fail "open". The pulse would
need to have enough energy to initiate the second breakdown of the silicon junction followed
by enough "follow through" energy to cause considerable heating in the now 10wTesistance
silicon.
Unitrode TVSs are of a voidless construction, so that even at very high chip temperatures the
units cannot "explode" by igniting a contained gas. Cracking and chipping of the glass can
occur, but this does not normally result in damage to surrounding components.
Reliability has always been important in electronic equipment; today it is even more so.
Complex military and industrial systems must be ,built with circuit blocks of unquestioned
reliability, if the overall system reliability is to be acceptable. Consumers now rightly demand
long life for the products they buy. By better understanding the nature of transient energy
sources and of available transient suppressors, the designer is better able to meet toughening
reliability goals.

LIMITING INRUSH CURRENT TO A SWITCHING POWER SUPPLY
IMPROVES RELIABILITY, EFFICIENCY

Active inrush-current limiters-unlike fuses and circuit breakersprevent dangerous situations instead of only reacting to them.
Apply limiting techniques, and you need not employ extra-hefty
rectifiers just to ensure rectifier survival during turn on.
Roger Adair, Unitrode Corp

The input filter capacitor employed in many dc
power-supply designs creates a potential problemhigh inrush current. Fortunately, though, adding a few
extra components can prevent inrush current and its
associated circuit damage.
How does the input capacitor cause such problems?
Intentionally chosen for high storage capacity and low
equivalent series resistance (ESR), it behaves like a
nearly perfect short circuit when the supply first turns
on. The resulting short-duration peak inrush current
can reach levels much greater than the tolerable
single-cycle ratings of the supply's semiconductor
rectifiers (thus destroying them) and still not contain
sufficient total energy to open protective fuses or

Turn on an analysis before
you turn on a power supply
circuit breakers. Additionally, the supply's rapidly
rising voltage and current levels could cause dv/dt- or
di/dt-sensitive devices in neighboring hardware to fail
or malfunction.
Computer analysis proves useful
To appreciate the inrush-current problem, consider
an estimate of its magnitude before examining possible
control techniques. Fig 1 depicts a model of the ac-input
and rectifier/filter sections for a typical dc power
supply. Although shown in a straight off-the-powermains configuration, the model should be valid for any
other design with the same output-power capability.
An ECAP computer analysis performed for this
circuit assumed worst-case conditions: switch closure at
160V (peak voltage). The results (Fig 2) indicate that
an inrush current greater than 200A can exist for
several milliseconds.
Now compare this predicted performance with the
measured characteristics (Fig 3) of a typical design.
The current pulse's high level and short duration could
generate severe, localized hot spots in rectifier
junctions or cause false triggering of rate-sensitive
devices elsewhere in the circuit.
A standard approach to current limiting is depicted in
Fig 4a-a resistor. It's simple, reliable and easy to
design in, but efficient it isn't. At any current level, it
dissipates power that would otherwise be available to

Fig 3-Measured Inrush current appears close to that predicted in FIg 2. This large current inrush could cause junction
hot spots and generate troublesome EMI.

the load. The resistor does perform a surge-currentlimiting function, however.
Alternatively, a thermistor-controlled current limiter (Fig 4b) alleviates the resistor's efficiency problems
to some extent, but it aggravates the dropout-recovery
problem. The same cold-to-hot resistance variation that
permits turn-on current limiting and high efficiency at
low operating currents fails in dropout-recovery
situations: The thermistor's long thermal time'constant
prohibits fast recovery.
SCR spells efficiency
In view of resistor and thermistor drawbacks, active
soft-start designs offer a best-of-both-worlds

solution--effective inrush limiting, fast recovery and
high operating efficiency. This type of circuit, shown in
Fig 5, essentially incorporates a current-limiting
resistor (R,) and a bypass switch (Q,). At turn on, Q, is
OFF, and the surge current (Is) develops a voltage
across R,. This voltage is peak detected by D2 and
stored in Cz• When the voltage exceeds D,'s zener
breakdown-an event that should occur almost
instantaneously-Q2 .turns on, disabling Q,'s gatetriggering network (R 3C3). As the power supply's filter
capacitor C, charges up, the inrush peaks diminish until
the detected IsR, voltage falls below D,'s zener
breakdown. Qz then turns off, and the RaCa network
charges up and fires Q" bypassing R,.
This circuit recovers rapidly enough to limit inrush
currents that could occur as a result of even short lin~
dropouts. When the ac input voltage goelS Lo zeru,·LlIe
voltage across Q, also goes to zero, and Q, turns off.
When the input voltage reappears, ~ keeps Q,'s gate
circuit OFF until R, has allowed C, to become almost
fully charged.
Fig 6 graphically depicts this design's inrush-limiting
ability. Note how the IsR, voltage level (up·per trace)
tracks the diminishing inrush-current pulses (lower
trace) for the first three cycles. At the 17-msec point
(slightly after the third current pulse), the peak
detected voltage has dropped below the zener breakdown point, and Q, switches on, bypassing R,. Then R2
limits inrush currents.
.
After determining your design's maximum continuous dc output current (1 0 ) and inrush limit (Is), you can
select an appropriate SCR. (The major SCR considerations are the peak repetitive blocking voltages and the
maximum average plus peak current levels.) Typical
SCRs exhibit a gate-turn-on voltage (VGT) of about
O.6V; typical power-supply circuits exhibit a rate

operates by controlling the conduction time of the

builds up slowly because of R,'s current-limiting action.

Switch out the limiting resistor
when the inrush is over
timing capacitor C~ (via R3). The PUT fires when its
trigger point is reached, turning the triac on. Thus,
when Vo is initially low, C2 charges slowly, and the triac
triggers on late in the half cycle. As Vo rises, Ql turns
on earlier in each cycle until nearly 100% conduction is
achieved.

Fig 8-Triac conduction follows the gradually increasing dc output
voltage, decreasing the would-be inrush current. When the out·
put voltage reaches design level, the triac is bypassing the current
limiter nearly 100% of the time.

The remaining circuit components (D a, Q2, Qa, etc)
discharge timing capacitor Cz on each half cycle,
thereby assuring cycle-by-cycle current limiting and
fast recovery from dropouts. Fig 8 depicts the
relationship between the ac input voltage, the dc output
voltage and the varying conduction angle of the
triac.

MOUNTING AND THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
The leads of the TO-220 rectifiers and Schottky diodes may be
formed, but they are not intended to be flexible or ductile enough for
unrestrained lead wrapping.

The advantages of mounting the flange to the printed circuit
board is that improved thermal heat transfer allows operating at
higher levels of power dissipation. The individual specification
sheets give the safe operating area as a function of a case
temperature.

The figures show the typical device and hardware recommended.
Several typical configurations of lead forming are illustrated.

BENDING THE LEADS
Whenever the leads of the T-220 are to be formed, whether by a
special fixture or by the use of long-nosed pliers, several important considerations must be followed. Internal damage to the
device or lead damage may result if anyorall ofthese precautions
are not considered.

7. Forming fixtures or pliers should not touch the plastic case
because axial strain of= .005" could cause irreversible internal damage.
8. The leads must be fully restrained during the lead ,forming
operation to prevent relative movement between the body
and the leads.

1. Minimum bend distance between the plastic body and the
bend is

'Is inch.

2. The minimum radius of the bend is

'A. inch.

SOLDERING INTO THE CIRCUIT

3. Avoid repeating bending at the same flexure point.

The leads on the TO-220 are solderable; however, there are a few
precautions that must be observed.

4. Whenever possible, use one of the lead forming configurations which relieve strain induced by mechanical or thermal
loads.

1. Soldering temperature must not exceed 270· C.

5. Leads should not be bent greater than 90 degrees.

2. Maximum soldering temperature must not be applied for
more than 5 seconds.

6. Avoid axial pulling or bending that would induce axial strain.
The maximum axial component is 4 pounds.

3. Maximum soldering temperature should not be applied
closer than 'I. inch from the plastic body of the device.

MOUNTING THE FLANGE
Flange mounting is recommended for maximum power handling
applications. A 6·32 machine screw is recommended. Eyeletting
(hollow rivet) is acceptable ifcare is taken not to distort the flange.
For insulated mount. a 4·40 screw and a shoulder bushing is
recommended (see figure). Suggested material for bushings are:
Diallphthalate. fiber·glass·filled nylon. or fiber-glass·filled poly·
carbonate. Note unfilled nylon should be avoided. The flange
should not be directly soldered because the use of lead·tin could
produce temperatures in excessofthe maximum storage temperature. See the individual specification for the device.

2. Always fasten the flange prior to lead soldering.

4. Maximum mounting torque-is 8 inch·pounds.·-

Check list and summary for flange mounting:

7. Use recommended insulation bushings. Avoid materials that
exhibit hot·creep problems.

3. Do not allow the forming tool to come in contact with the
plastic body.

5. Avoid modifying the flange by machining and_ do not use
oversized screws.
6. Provide axial and transverse strain relief of the leads.

INTRODUCTION TO TRANSIENTS
Unsuppressed transients can cause circuit malfunctions
or even circuit failure. Voltage transients from sources
external to a circuit occur randomly, and with a frequency
which is virtually impossible to predict. Transients which
are created by the circuit itself can be very specifically
defined. Figure 1 illustrates the range of predictability of
both internally and externally generated transients.

The lower frequency components could, of course, see a
much lower impedance which would be the impedance of
the network associated with the 60 hertz transmitted power
frequency. The value of impedance could be significantly
lower if the lightning were to strike at a point close to the
susceptible equipment.
In other words, the effective impedance in such a case is
hard to estimate, and thus the surge current would be difficult to resolve. Figure 3 illustrates response to such a random transient.

TRANSIENT MODELS
The models in Figure 2 represent transient sources. As the
diagram illustrates, externally generated transients may
appear to be like a voltage or a current source. In circuits
which switch inductive loads, internally generated transients appear to be from a current source.

When considering how to protect against transients generated from external sources, the value of impedance in
series with the transient is relevant. If it is known, an approximation of the current - and therefore of the surge power
handling capability of the required suppressor - can be
determined. However, this impedance value is often difficult to determine accurately.

EXAMPLES OF EXTERNALLY
GENERATED TRANSIENTS
An example of an externally generated transient would be
lightning striking a power transmission line. The effective
impedance of a typical U.S. residential branch network
could be as much as 300 ohms. The peak currents associated with the high frequency components of the transient
could be limited by this effective impedance.

Another type of external transient is generated when parallel inductive loads are switched on and off on the same
branch of a power distribution system. These transients
would appear to come from a current source.
Still another transient source of concern to many designers
today is the Nuclear Electromagnetic Pulse (N.E.M.P.).
In the event of a nuclear explosion, voltage fields of very
high intensity are generated. These transients are of great
concern because of their far reaching effects.
For example, a nuclear explosion occuring at a height of
300 miles above the center of the United States would generate an intense electromagnetic field that would affect
electrical circuits from coast to coast.
While the explosive power of such a blast is classified, it is
of sufficient military concern to have started a major effort
to develop E.M.P. hardened systems.
While shielding may help to provide proper protection from
such transients, the effects from input and output lines
would remain of concern. Ultimate protection, therefore,
would have to involve effective suppression of voltage transients on these lines.

EXAMPLES OF INTERNALLY
GENERATED TRANSIENTS
Internally generated transients, unlike external, can be very
specifically defined.· When swITching inductive loads,
energy built-up in the magnetic field of the inductor during
the transistor on time must not be transferred to the voltage
sensitive load. Such a transfer could have a serious detrimental effect on the performance of the circuit. A solution
isto provide a fast acting voltage clamp which would safely
limit the peak voltage across the load. An example of a
voltage sensITive item would be the reverse biased collector-base junction. The value of voltage, in this case, should
never exceed the applicable BV rating of the transistor.

voltage suppressor in an inductive switching situation.

CHOOSING AN APPROPRIATE
TRANSIENT VOLTAGE SUPPRESSOR
With this brief discussion of transients behind us, it now
becomes time to get a clearer understanding of how to
choose an appropriate transient voltage suppressor (TVS).
The key items of concern are as follows:
1. Stand-off voltage
2. Peak pulse power capabiiity .
3. Maximum clamping voltage
4. Maximum junction temperature
5. Response time
First, a definition of terms is warranted.

Stand-off Voltage
This isthe circuit operating voltage which relates to the suppression device. At the stand-off voltage, the TVS will be
essentially non-conducting such that the insertion loss will
be minimal. A device should be chosen with a stand-off
voltage equal to, or greater than, the maximum normal cir-.
cuit operating voltage. The stand-off voltage of a device is
clearly defined in the manufacturer's electrical specifications table.

TEL: (617) 926-0404 • FAX (617) 924-1235

Peak Pulse Power
The peak pulse power is equal to the clamping voltage
times the peak current. A device must be chosen which
has the capability to handle this peak pulse power. The
pulse power vs pulse duration graph on manufacturers'
datasheets can be used to determine whether a particular
device would be operating within its safe operating region.
(For examples of these types of curves see the individual
datasheets.)
Maximum Clamping Voltage
This is the maximum voltage that will occur across theTVS
for the duration of the transient. A device must be chosen
which will clamp below the voltage that may damage any
components. For effective use, it is necessary to define the
surge current that will equate to the clamping voltage.
Maximum Junction Temperature
The junction temperaiure is equal to the pulsed thermal
impedance times the peak pulse power, plus the junction
temperature just prior to the transient pulse. An understanding of the maximum junction temperature is vital with
regard to reliability of the TVS itself..
Response Time
When protecting sensitive components, the response time
of the protection device is also of importance. Special
attention must be paid to insuring that the protection
device is inherently fast enough in ITs response time and
that parasitic inductance is kept to a minimum. The intrinsic
characteristics of a semiconductor TVS enable it to effectively respond to transients of extremely short duration, or
transients of longer duration with very fast rise times. Other
forms of protection are much slower in their response. A
semiconductor TVS is the fastest device available, re- .
sponding in pico seconds.

SELECTION CRITERIA
To properly select a device, it is essential to understand the
maximum clamping voltage as accurately as possible,
since this value impacts on whether proper protection has
been achieved. It is also necessary to know this value to
determine the peak power and peak junction temperature.
Unitrode TVSs are characterized as having a minimum
breakdown voltage at some very low current, usually 1
milliampere. For reverse currents other than this, the TVS
voltage will differ due to three factors:
1. TVS dynamic impedance varies as a function of bias
current and is avid.ent at intermediate currents (less
than 1 ampere). Dynamic impedance is closely tied
to the physics of the breakdown mechanism.'

2. Surge impedance dominates the TVS's I-V characteristics at large reverse currents. The surge impedance is essentially the sum of ttie semiconductor
bulk resistance, contact, pin, and lead resistance and
varies little with bias current.

PRINTED IN U.S.A.

TVS200

3. Power dissipation in the TVS, varies directly with
reverse current. As a result, an increase in reverse
current will create an increase in junction temperatura Power related heating gives rise to increased
reverse voltage in TVSs because of the positive temperature coefficient of reverse voltage associated
with the semiconductor junction.

AVTVS (thermal):
Power is dissipated at a semiconductor junction as heat
and acts to raise the temperature of the junction and, in
turn, the semiconductor bulk, the pins, and the leads. To
understand how heat transfer occurs it is useful to consider
both the thermal resistance and thermal impedance
models.

Model to Determine Clamping Voltage
The expected TVS voltage under bias conditions other
than the low current condition described in the data table
would therefore be:
Vclamp = VTVS at 1mA + AVTVS (dynamic)
+ AVTVS (surge) + AVTVS (thermal)
Where: AVTVS (dynamic) = change in TVS voltage due
to dynamic impedance.
AVTVS (surge)
= change in TVS voltage due
to surge impedance.
AVTVS (thermal) = change in TVS voltage due
to ambient and power induced temperature
excursions.
Vclamp
= voltage which will occur
across the TVS as a result of
the surge.

AVTVS (dynamic):
A rigorous way to obtain a value for AVTVS (dynamic) involves the integration of the impedance-current product
over the current range from the low current test point to the
surge current. The results of this integration, for Unitrode
axial TVSs are:

In a situation where a repetitive transient occurs at a fixed
frequency, it is simple to determine the average and estimate the peak junction temperatura To determine the average junction temperature one should derive the average
power diSSipation by using the following relation:
Pd (average) = (Vclamp x Isurge) tp/t
Where tp = duration of the rectangular equivalent pulse

Where: VTVS = low current breakover voltage which is
defined in the data table.
Isurge = peak surge current.
Itest = low level test current; defined in manu- .
facturers' data tables.

AVTVS (surge):
Figure 5 shows surge impedance as a function of stand-off
voltage for Unitrode axial transient voltage suppressors.
The voltage increase due to surge impedance is simply:
AVTVS (surge) = Zs (Isurge -Itest)

The average junction temperature then becomes:
Tj (average) = TA + (RaJ-A) x Pd (average)
where: TA = ambient temperature
RaJ-A = thermal resistance, junction to' ambient
In order to assure a safe operating junction temperature,
the designer must achieve a sufficiently low thermal resistance, junction to ambient.

To carry the thermal analysis one step further, and to be
more rigorous, ohe can consider the effective thermal
impedance for a given repetitive pulsing situation to be as
follows:
Zeeff = (ReJ-A) (tiT) + (l-tlT)[r(t + T)]- r(T)+ r (t)
Where: Zeeff

t
T
= period
r (t + .T) = transient thermal impedance at time
t + T
r (t)
= transient thermal impedance at
timet
== transient thermal impedance
r (T)
at time T
The peak junction temperature of a device subjected to a
periodic train of power pulses can be calculated by using
the following relation:

ReJ-A· is dependent on both device construction and
mounting conditions. It is useful to separate these dependencies by invoking the relation:
ReJ-A = ReJ-L + ReL-A
Where: ReJ-L = thermal resistance junction t() lead and
is device construction dependent.
ReL-A = thermal resistance lead to ambie~t and
is mounting dependent.
For a simple conservative estimate of the peak junction
temperature, the designer needs only add to the average
junction temperature the excursion of junction temperature
obtained by utilizing the thermal impedance model. Figure
6 offers a qualitative representation of the effects produced
by a transient which ()ccursat a fixen frequency.

A clear understanding of the junction temperature is
important to the. designer for two reasons:
1. The maximum junction temperature is the fundamental
criterion for device reliability assurance. Unitrode transient voltage suppressors will operate with virtually no
permanent degradation if the junction temperature is
kept below 175°e. This criterion allows the designer to
choose the proper TVS (body size/rated maximum
power dissipation) for his application.
2. The thermally related change in VTVS is given by
AVTVS (thermal) = Tj x TCI100 x BVmin
Where Te = temperature coefficient of reverse
•
vciltage in percent of BVmin/oC
BVmin = minimum breakover voltage

Thermal Impedance Model
Under single pulse reverse bias conditions the thermal
capacitance of the TVS becomes evident, and its thermal
behavior is best characterized by a pulse-width-dependent thermal impedance. For pulse widths less than one
half secondin duration, heat flow from the lead to a typical
mounting is minimal, and the thermal response is nearly
independent of mounting conditions. In this situation:
ATj = PDX Ze
Where: PD = pulsed power
Ze = pulsed thermal impedance
Figure 7 shows pulsed thermal impedance versus pulse
duration for Unitrode transient voltage suppressors. These
curves give Ze values for rectangular power pulses. A designer should determine the pulse energy equivalent for
his speCific pulse, and use the duration of that pulse when
employing Figure 7.

often used alone or in combination with other types of
transient voltage suppressors. Often a snubber can be
chosen which would limit the voltage across a sensitive
component until the current has reached a safe level. However, in certain situations, an R-C network designed to minimize transients can have negative effects. R-C networks
may cause undesirable time delays in relay or solenoid
applications. The use of a semiconductor TVS would minimize the problem and the component count would be less.

Although, as stated above, the junction temperature is
clearly related to the long term reliability of the TVS, it must
be noted that a failure mechanism not strongly related to
junction temperature, but rather to current density manifests itself - when the transients are very short in duration
(less than 1 micro second) and the values of current are
very high. Conditions which may generate this type of transient may possibly occur in some equipment as a result of
an electromagnetic pulse.

In conclusion, the advantages of a semiconductor transient suppressor are as follows:

NmE: Though the values in this column are useful for companng'suppressortechnologies on a oneto one basis it must be noted that for shorter pulse
widths a semiconductor TVS is capable of sustaining hundreds of amperes. For example the smallest TVS component Unitrode presently offers was tested
with a 200 nanosecond exponentially decaying waveform with a rise time of 10 nanoseconds. This device did not suffer degradation until peak values of
BOO amperes had been reached. This is an extremely important point as the other technologies have response times which severely limit their effective·
ness when the pulse widths and the associated current rise times are ofthls nature. Non·semiconductortypes are excessively slowin response such that
the circuit is not adequately protected. In cases where the transients are of very short duration the only viable solution is to use semiconductorTVS.
