Product details
Overview
SI9122EDQ-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 integrates ±1 A primary high-/low-side gate drivers, programmable dead-time control via BBM pin, voltage-mode PWM with feedforward, and current sensing on the primary low-side MOSFET source. It enables >90% efficiency in intermediate bus converters and brick modules.
For engineers reviewing the SI9122EDQ-T1-E3 datasheet, SI9122EDQ-T1-E3 pinout, SI9122EDQ-T1-E3 application, or SI9122EDQ-T1-E3 equivalent, key selection considerations include its TSSOP-20 package, 36–75 V input range, 3.3 V reference output, 500 kHz nominal oscillator frequency set by ROSC, and dual-stage synchronous rectifier timing coordination with programmable break-before-make delay.
Technical Context
The SI9122EDQ-T1-E3 implements voltage-mode control with feedforward compensation, using VINDET to scale duty cycle against input voltage variations. Its error amplifier accepts inverted feedback (0–2 V at EP) from an optocoupler on the secondary side, enabling isolated regulation of low-voltage outputs.
It features dual-loop protection: primary current limiting via CS1/CS2 differential sensing (100 mV lower/150 mV upper threshold), and thermal shutdown at 135 °C. The BBM circuit uses an external resistor (22–50 kΩ) to set non-overlapping delays between primary (DH/DL) and secondary (SRH/SRL) drive signals, preventing transformer shorting.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 36 V to 75 V - supports fixed telecom bus; withstands 80 V continuous, 100 V transient |
| Oscillator Frequency | 200 kHz to 500 kHz - set by external ROSC resistor (30–72 kΩ); 500 kHz nominal minimizes magnetics size |
| Reference Output | 3.3 V ±30 mV - stable internal bandgap reference for feedback loop; 0.1 µF decoupling required |
| Primary Driver Output | ±1 A peak - drives high-/low-side N-MOSFETs directly; DH uses bootstrap (BST/LX), DL referenced to PGND |
| Secondary Drive Capability | ±100 mA peak - provides sequenced SRH/SRL signals for pulse-transformer-coupled synchronous rectifiers |
| Current Sense Thresholds | 100 mV (lower), 150 mV (upper) - sets primary overcurrent limits; enables constant-current startup into capacitive loads |

| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +85 °C - rated for industrial ambient; OTP deactivates at 113 °C after 135 °C trip |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-20 package (JEDEC MO-153, 6.5 mm × 4.4 mm, 0.65 mm pitch), lead (Pb)-free, RoHS compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | High-voltage start-up supply input | Connects to telecom bus; powers internal pre-regulator during startup before VCC is established |
| REG_COMP | External PNP pass transistor compensation | Stabilizes high-voltage pre-regulator loop when using external PNP; requires small capacitor (≤1 nF) |
| VCC | Internal logic and driver supply | 10.5–13.2 V operating range; clamped at 14.5 V; requires ≥4.7 µF bulk capacitance |
| VREF | 3.3 V precision reference output | Supplies optocoupler LED or secondary-side error amp; disabled in shutdown mode |
| GND | Analog ground reference | Signal return for VREF, EP, ROSC, CL_CONT; separate from PGND to minimize noise coupling |
| ROSC | Oscillator frequency programming node | Resistor to GND sets fOSC (200–500 kHz); 30 kΩ = 500 kHz nominal |
| EP | Inverted error amplifier input | 0–2 V input controls duty cycle inversely; 0 V = max duty, 2 V = min duty; requires optocoupler interface |
| VINDET | Input voltage monitor and feedforward input | Resistive divider from VIN sets UVLO (7.15–9.8 V) and provides line-voltage feedforward |
| CS1 / CS2 | Differential current sense inputs | Monitor voltage across low-side primary sense resistor; CS2 positive, CS1 negative |
| CL_CONT | Current limit compensation node | Capacitor here sets foldback response time; discharged during overload to reduce duty/frequency |
| BBM | Break-Before-Make timing resistor connection | 22–50 kΩ to GND programs non-overlap delay between primary and secondary drive edges |
| SS | Soft-start capacitor connection | 20 µA internal current charges external CSS to 8 V; longer time reduces inrush stress |
| SRL / SRH | Secondary synchronous rectifier drive outputs | Drive center-tapped pulse transformer; SRL/SRH phase relationship controls rectifier sequencing |
| PGND | Power ground return | Return path for DH, DL, SRH, SRL drivers; must be low-inductance, separate from analog GND |
| DL | Low-side primary gate driver output | Drives N-MOSFET source to PGND; 1 A sink/source capability; initiates bootstrap charging |
| LX | Half-bridge switch node | Connects to high-side MOSFET source and transformer primary; critical for BST capacitor charging |
| DH | High-side primary gate driver output | Bootstrapped drive (VBST referenced to LX); requires external diode/capacitor network |
| BST | Bootstrap supply input | Accepts charged capacitor (VBST ≈ LX + VCC); supplies DH driver high-side rail |
| EP | Error amplifier input (repeated for clarity) | Same as above; dedicated pin for feedback signal injection into control loop |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar half-bridge DC/DC controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCC28950PW | 4-phase interleaved controller with adaptive dead-time; no integrated secondary drivers; requires external SR controllers | Targets higher-power (>200 W), multi-phase telecom PSUs; lacks native synchronous rectifier timing coordination | Choose UCC28950PW when scaling beyond 100 W or requiring phase interleaving; SI9122EDQ-T1-E3 better suits compact single-stage designs with integrated SR drive. |
| LT3748IMS | Isolated flyback controller with integrated MOSFET gate drivers; no half-bridge topology support; operates up to 1 MHz | Designed for flyback/isolated forward topologies; not compatible with half-bridge transformer configurations | Choose LT3748IMS for lower-power isolated supplies (<60 W) where flyback simplicity outweighs half-bridge efficiency; SI9122EDQ-T1-E3 remains optimal for fixed-input telecom half-bridge systems. |
Compared with UCC28950PW and LT3748IMS, the SI9122EDQ-T1-E3 uniquely integrates both primary half-bridge drivers and secondary synchronous rectifier timing in a single TSSOP-20 package, eliminating external SR driver complexity and enabling >90% efficiency at sub-3.3 V outputs without topology redesign.

FAQ
What is the recommended external ROSC resistor value to achieve 500 kHz operation for SI9122EDQ-T1-E3?
The SI9122EDQ-T1-E3 achieves 500 kHz nominal oscillator frequency with a 30 kΩ resistor connected from ROSC pin to GND. This value is specified in the Recommended Operating Range table and confirmed in Typical Characteristics (Figure on p.12). Deviations outside 30–72 kΩ shift frequency beyond 200–500 kHz range. Always verify actual frequency with oscilloscope measurement during prototype validation, as layout parasitics and temperature affect final accuracy.
How does the SI9122EDQ-T1-E3 implement synchronous rectification timing coordination?
The SI9122EDQ-T1-E3 generates non-overlapping SRH and SRL signals using an internal programmable break-before-make (BBM) timer. An external resistor on the BBM pin sets delay times (e.g., 48 ns tBBM1 at 33 kΩ, 25 °C) to prevent simultaneous conduction of primary and secondary MOSFETs. This avoids transformer shorting and ensures safe commutation. Timing relationships are detailed in Figure 3 and Technical Description section on page 2 of the datasheet.
Can SI9122EDQ-T1-E3 operate with input voltages below 36 V?
No. The SI9122EDQ-T1-E3 is specified for 36–75 V input only. Below 36 V, the internal pre-regulator cannot establish sufficient VCC bias, and UVLO (7.15–9.8 V) prevents startup. Attempting operation at 24 V or 12 V will result in no switching. For lower-input applications, consider alternative controllers such as the UCC28950 or LTC3722, which support wider VIN ranges.
What is the function of the EP pin on SI9122EDQ-T1-E3, and how should it be interfaced?
The EP pin is the inverted error amplifier input. It accepts 0–2 V from an optocoupler's phototransistor collector, where 0 V commands maximum duty cycle and 2 V commands minimum. It must be driven through an optocoupler for isolation; direct connection violates safety requirements. The internal inverting amplifier converts this signal to control the PWM generator. No external pull-up or bias is needed-interface per Figure 1 and Functional Block Diagram on page 1.
Does SI9122EDQ-T1-E3 support current-mode control, or is it strictly voltage-mode?
The SI9122EDQ-T1-E3 operates primarily in voltage mode but incorporates current-limiting functionality that overrides voltage-mode control during overloads. Under normal conditions, it uses voltage-mode PWM with feedforward. During overcurrent, the CL_CONT node takes control, reducing duty cycle first, then folding back frequency to ~100 kHz. This hybrid behavior provides fast fault response without requiring full current-mode loop design.
