FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
SYNCHRONOUS RECTIFIER CONTROL
The control circuitry for the synchronous rectifier does not
influence the operation of the main controller. The
synchronous rectifier is turned on during the minimum off
time, or whenever the SENSE pin is less than –18mV.
During transitions where the primary switch is turned on
before the voltage on the SENSE pin goes above –18mV,
the gate of the synchronous rectifier is discharged softly to
avoid accidently triggering the current-mode comparator
with the gate discharge spike on the sense resistor.
The part will also operate with a Schottky diode in place
of the synchronous rectifier, but the conversion efficiency
will suffer.
CURRENT LIMIT AND MODES OF OPERATION
The normal operating range and current limit point are
determined by the current programming comparator. They
are dependent on the value of the synchronous rectifier

Three operational modes are defined by the voltage at the
SENSE pin at the end of the off-time: discontinuous mode,
continuous mode, and current limit. The following values
can be used to determine the current levels of each mode:
Inserting the maximum value of V

determine the maximum current levels for each
