STMicroelectronics STNRG328S Digital Controller for STC/HSTC

STMicroelectronics STNRG328S Digital Controller for STC/HSTC open-loop resonant converters is designed for power conversions. The device performs a power conversion from an input voltage in a typical range of 40V to 60V to an output voltage with a programmable conversion ratio from 2:1 to 10:1 with a fixed duty cycle and programmable frequency from 140kHz to 300kHz.

The STNRG328S Digital Controller supports an output power in the range from 500W up to 2KW with very high efficiency in a wide load range and an efficiency peak of 98.4%.

The State Machine Event Driven (SMED) implements vital features to ensure all the STC/HSTC control functions. The SMED drives the ZCD (Zero Current Detection) feature allowing management of the deadtime and the switching frequency to achieve the perfect LC resonance and top efficiency independently from the external component variations. The STNRG328S firmware is specifically designed to program the SMED and implement the control strategy.

The STNRG328S combined with the STPRDC02A gate drivers, designed for STC applications, and a hot-swap circuit (typically an e-fuse) avoids damages during hot plug-in of the input 48V bus.
