The LT8309 is a synchronous rectifier designed for An external resistor connects the part’s DRAIN pin to the boundary conduction mode/critical conduction mode drain of the MOSFET. This resistor sets the trip point of and discontinuous mode flyback converters. Existing the comparator with a precise internal current source. To solutions use a pulse signal from the primary side to set the trip point to –10mV, a 3000Ω resistor is needed. control the synchronous rectifier, but the LT8309 senses The trip point decreases by 1mV for every 100Ω added the drain-source voltage of the MOSFET to control the to this drain resistor. This trip point will be referred to as synchronous rectifier. This technique not only elimi- VOFFSET.
