ZVS Full-Bridge PWM Controller with Adjustable Synchronous Rectifier Control
ISL78223
The ISL78223 is a high-performance zero-voltage switching (ZVS) full-bridge PWM controller. It achieves ZVS operation by driving the upper bridge FETs at a fixed 50% duty cycle while the lower bridge FETs are trailing-edge modulated with adjustable resonant switching delays.
Adding to the ISL78223’s feature set are average current monitoring and soft-start. The average current signal may be used for average current limiting, current sharing circuits and average current mode control. Additionally, the ISL78223 supports both voltage- and current-mode control.
The ISL78223 features complemented PWM outputs for synchronous rectifier (SR) control.
