The SN6505 is a transformer driver designed for low-cost, small form-factor, isolated DC/DC converters using the push-pull topology. The device includes an oscillator that feeds a gate-drive circuit. The gate-drive, comprising a frequency divider and a break-before-make (BBM) logic, provides two complementary output signals which alternately turn the two output transistors on and off.

Figure 9-1. Block Diagram and Output Timing With Break-Before-Make Action

The output frequency of the oscillator is divided down by an asynchronous divider that provides two complementary output signals, S and S, with a 50% duty cycle. A subsequent break-before-make logic inserts a dead-time between the high-pulses of the two signals. The resulting output signals, G1 and G2, present the gate-drive signals for the output transistors Q 1 and Q 2. As shown in Figure 9-2, before either one of the gates can assume logic high, there must be a short time period during which both signals are low and both transistors are high-impedance. This short period, known as break-before-make time, is required to avoid shorting out both ends of the primary.
