PRODUCTION DATA
A series BOOT resistor can help reduce the overshoot at the SW pin. As a best practice, include a 0-Ω resistor in series with boot capacitor during layout for 12-V or higher input applications. The BOOT resistor can be used to reduce the voltage overshoot on the SW pin to within the absolute maximum ratings, in case the overshoot is higher than normal due to parasitic inductance in PCB layout. Including a 0-Ω BOOT resistor is recommended with external VCC as the SW node overshoot is increased.
An RC snubber on the SW pin can also help reduce voltage overshoot and ringing at the SW pin. In order for the RC snubber to be as effective as possible, it should be placed on the same side as the IC and be as close as possible to the SW pins with a very low impedance return to PGND pins.
