DESCRIPTION
Si9123 is a dedicated half-bridge controller IC ideally suited to
fixed telecom dc-dc converter applications where high
efficiency is required at low output voltages (e.g. <3.3 V).
Designed to operate within the voltage range of 12-72 V and
withstand 100 V, 100 ms transients, the IC is capable of
controlling and directly driving both primary side MOSFET
switches of a half-bridge circuit.
High conversion efficiency is achieved by use of synchronous
rectifying MOSFET transistors in the secondary. Due to the
very low on-resistance of the secondary MOSFETs, a
significant increase in the efficiency can be achieved as
compared with conventional Schottky diodes for today’s low
output voltages. On-chip control of the dead time delays
between the primary and secondary signals keep efficiencies
high and prevents accidental destruction of the power
transformer or wasted energy from self timed approaches.
Such a system can achieve conversion efficiencies well in
excess of 90%.

DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED)
Si9123 has advanced current monitoring circuitry to permit the
user to set the maximum current in the primary circuit. Such a
feature acts as protection against output shorts. Upon sensing
an overload condition, the converter is shut off for a period of
time and then soft-start cycle is re-initiated, achieving hiccup
mode operation. Current sensing is by means of a sense
resistor on the low-side primary device. An integrated
over -temperature shutdown circuit also protects the system.
The 100-V depletion mode MOSFET integrated pre-regulator
circuit permits direct operation from input voltage with only one
series resistor during startup. The pre-regulator automatically
disconnects from the input supply when the output voltage is
established by means of a feedback winding from the filter
inductor.
Si9123 is available in
TSSOP-16
pin package. In order to
satisfy the stringent ambient temperature requirements,
Si9123 is rated to handle the industrial temperature range of
–40 to 85_C.
