PRODUCTION DATA
The bootstrap current can be limited by changing R32 to prevent overcharging of the bootstrap capacitor and to slow the turn-on transition of the high-side MOSFET. This reduces the peak amplitude and ringing of the switching node. Furthermore it minimizes the possibility of Cdv/dt-induced shoot-through of the low-side MOSFETs. The snubbers composed of C50 with R51 and C51 with R52 help to reduce switching noise.
The output component selection considers the requirement of a fast transient response. For output capacitors small capacitance values are chosen because of rapid changes of the output voltage. These changes also require an inductor with low inductance. Due to the small duty cycle the low-side MOSFETs conduct a long time. Two low-side MOSFETs are selected to increase both thermal performance and efficiency.
