Application Information
The purpose of the ZXGD3104 is to drive a MOSFET as a low-V
F
Schottky diode replacement in offline power
converters. When combined with a low R
DS(ON)
MOSFET, it can yield significant power efficiency improvement, whilst
maintaining design simplicity and incurring minimal component count. Figure 2 shows typical configuration of
ZXGD3104 for synchronous rectification in a 19V output Flyback Adaptor.

Figure 3 shows operating waveforms for ZXGD3104 driving a MOSFET with Q
g(TOT)
= 124nC in a 19V output Flyback
converter operating in critical conduction mode.
