SLVSC87C October 2013 – December 2018 TPS24750 , TPS24751
UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED, this document contains PRODUCTION DATA.
The TPS2475x has a relatively well-regulated gate voltage of 12 V-15.5 V with a supply voltage VVCC higher than 4 V. For the applications with operating voltage greater than 14 V, a negative gate clamp (of ≤15.5 V) is needed as shown in Figure 47. In addition, a series resistance of several hundred ohms or a series silicon diode is recommended to prevent the output capacitance from discharging through the gate driver to ground. For applications with Blocking FET, a small clamp Zener from gate to OUT is recommended if VGS of external blocking FET is rated below 12 V.
