PRODUCTION DATA
The external power MOSFET must be selected with VDS rating that can withstand the maximum output voltage plus transient spikes (ringing). 40V rated MOSFET is selected in this application.
Once the voltage rating is determined, select the MOSFETs by making tradeoffs between MOSFET RDS(ON) and total gate charge (Qg) to balance conduction and switching losses.
Be aware of the deadtime limitation, verify that the low-side and high-side MOSFET are not turned on simultaneously. A leadless package is preferred for this high switching-frequency design to minimumize the driving parasitic inductance. Be careful when adding series gate resistors, as this can decrease the effective deadtime.
The MOSFET gate driver current of the device is supplied from VCC. Before start-up, the VCC voltage is powered from VIN from an internal LDO. Verify that the gate threshold voltage(Vth) of MOSFET is lower than minimum VIN voltage for the target design to guarntee a fully turn on of the MOSFET.
The maximum gate charge power is limited by the 15mA VCC sourcing current limit. Driving loss must be considered to meet the sourcing current limit of VCC.
