Product details
Overview
SI9122EDLP-T1-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 500-kHz half-bridge DC/DC controller IC with integrated secondary synchronous rectification drivers, designed for fixed telecom power systems (36–75 V input) delivering <3.3 V outputs. It provides ±1 A primary high-/low-side gate drive, programmable dead-time control via BBM pin, voltage-mode PWM with feedforward, and 135 °C overtemperature protection. It enables >90% efficiency in intermediate bus converters using synchronous rectification.
For engineers reviewing the SI9122EDLP-T1-E3 datasheet, SI9122EDLP-T1-E3 pinout, SI9122EDLP-T1-E3 application, or SI9122EDLP-T1-E3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-pin MLP65-20 package, 36–75 V input range, 3.3 V reference output, dual current-sense inputs (CS1/CS2), and support for transformer-coupled SRH/SRL drive signals in isolated half-bridge topologies.
Technical Context
The SI9122EDLP-T1-E3 implements voltage-mode control with feedforward compensation and integrates a high-voltage pre-regulator (36–75 V input) to charge VCC during startup. Its internal oscillator sets nominal switching frequency at 500 kHz (adjustable 200–500 kHz via ROSC), and it features dedicated Break-Before-Make timing circuitry programmed by an external resistor on BBM pin.
It supports dual-loop operation: voltage loop via EP pin (inverting error amplifier input) and current loop via differential sense across CS1/CS2, enabling constant-current foldback and hiccup-free short-circuit protection. Secondary synchronous rectifier timing is transformer-isolated and sequenced independently from primary DH/DL outputs to prevent shoot-through.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 36 V to 75 V - operates directly from telecom -48 V bus with margin; supports ETSI 300 132-2 compliance. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 200 kHz to 500 kHz - set by external ROSC resistor; 500 kHz nominal enables compact magnetics and high power density. |
| Reference Voltage | 3.3 V ±30 mV - stable bandgap reference for feedback loop; requires 0.1 µF external decoupling. |
| Primary Driver Output | ±1 A peak - drives high-/low-side MOSFETs directly; DH uses bootstrap (BST/LX), DL referenced to PGND. |

| SRL / SRH | Secondary synchronous rectifier drive outputs | Transformer-coupled gate drive signals for low-/high-side secondary MOSFETs; sequenced to avoid shoot-through. |
| PGND | Power ground return | Low-impedance return path for DH, DL, and LX currents; must be connected to exposed pad (EP) for thermal performance. |
| DL | Primary low-side gate driver output | Drives N-channel MOSFET source to PGND; 1 A sink/source; rise/fall time ≤35 ns with 3 nF load. |
| LX | Half-bridge switch node | Connects to high-side MOSFET source and transformer primary; used as bootstrap return for DH driver. |
| DH | Primary high-side gate driver output | Bootstrap-driven (BST–LX); 1 A sink/source; VOH = VBST – 0.3 V, VOL = VLX + 0.3 V. |
| BST | Bootstrap supply for DH driver | Charged via external diode/capacitor from LX during DL on-time; supports up to 113.2 V transient. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated ±1 A primary drivers | Eliminates need for external gate driver ICs; supports direct drive of high-current MOSFETs in half-bridge topology. |
| Programmable Break-Before-Make (BBM) | Prevents simultaneous conduction of primary and secondary switches via external RBBM; avoids transformer shorting and loss spikes. |
| Voltage feedforward compensation | Uses VINDET signal to dynamically adjust duty cycle vs. input variation; improves line regulation and transient response. |
| Frequency foldback under overload | Reduces switching frequency to ~100 kHz during severe overcurrent; maintains constant current without excessive MOSFET stress. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar half-bridge controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCC2895DW | 4-phase interleaved controller with adaptive dead-time; no integrated secondary SR drivers; requires external gate drivers for SR. | Targeted at higher-power (>500 W), multi-phase designs; lacks transformer-isolated SRH/SRL outputs. | Choose UCC2895DW only if scaling beyond single half-bridge or needing phase interleaving; SI9122EDLP-T1-E3 offers simpler SR integration. |
| LT3748IMS | Isolated flyback controller with integrated MOSFET drivers; no half-bridge topology support; operates up to 1 MHz. | Designed for non-isolated or flyback-based solutions; not pin- or functionally compatible with half-bridge synchronous rectification. | Use LT3748IMS for flyback-derived isolated supplies; SI9122EDLP-T1-E3 remains preferred for fixed telecom half-bridge with secondary sync rectification. |
Compared with UCC2895DW and LT3748IMS, SI9122EDLP-T1-E3 uniquely integrates transformer-coupled SRH/SRL outputs and BBM timing for half-bridge synchronous rectification-enabling >90% efficiency at sub-3.3 V outputs without external SR drivers or complex timing coordination.

FAQ
What is the recommended minimum external ROSC resistor value for SI9122EDLP-T1-E3?
The SI9122EDLP-T1-E3 datasheet specifies ROSC values from 30 kΩ to 72 kΩ for 200–500 kHz operation. A 30 kΩ resistor yields ~500 kHz nominal frequency. Using less than 30 kΩ risks exceeding maximum oscillator frequency limits and may cause timing violations in BBM and driver sequencing. Always verify actual frequency with oscilloscope measurement under load conditions for SI9122EDLP-T1-E3.
How does SI9122EDLP-T1-E3 handle overcurrent protection during startup?
SI9122EDLP-T1-E3 employs advanced current limiting that activates immediately upon detecting VCS2–VCS1 >100 mV. During startup, it first reduces duty cycle toward DMIN; if current persists, it initiates frequency foldback to ~100 kHz. This prevents current tails and ensures safe charging of large output capacitors without triggering full shutdown-critical for reliable SI9122EDLP-T1-E3 operation in telecom modules.
Can SI9122EDLP-T1-E3 drive secondary MOSFETs without a pulse transformer?
No. SI9122EDLP-T1-E3's SRH and SRL outputs are designed exclusively for transformer-coupled drive to achieve galvanic isolation between primary and secondary sides. The outputs deliver complementary logic-level signals intended to drive center-tapped pulse transformers feeding inverter pairs. Direct MOSFET gate drive is not supported, and attempting it would violate isolation requirements and timing safety margins of SI9122EDLP-T1-E3.
What is the purpose of the REG_COMP pin on SI9122EDLP-T1-E3?
The REG_COMP pin on SI9122EDLP-T1-E3 provides frequency compensation for the external high-voltage pre-regulator when using a PNP pass transistor. It stabilizes the loop during transient events (e.g., startup or fault recovery) and prevents oscillation. Connecting an appropriate capacitor (typically 100–470 pF) between REG_COMP and GND ensures stable VCC regulation without slowing fault response-essential for robust SI9122EDLP-T1-E3 operation in telecom systems.
Does SI9122EDLP-T1-E3 support both voltage-mode and current-mode control simultaneously?
SI9122EDLP-T1-E3 operates primarily in voltage-mode control under normal conditions, using EP as the error amplifier input. However, it seamlessly transitions to current-mode behavior during overcurrent events via the CS1/CS2 sense path-triggering duty-cycle reduction and frequency foldback. This hybrid approach ensures stable regulation during steady state and fast, predictable protection during faults, making SI9122EDLP-T1-E3 suitable for demanding telecom power applications.
