SLVSFS5A October 2021 – November 2021 TPSM63603
PRODUCTION DATA
Adjust the switch-node slew rate of the TPSM63603 to slow the switch-node voltage rise time and improve EMI performance at high frequencies. However, slowing the rise time decreases efficiency. Care must be taken to balance the improved EMI versus the decreased efficiency.
Internal to the device, a bootstrap resistor of 100 Ω is connected between the RBOOT and CBOOT pins as shown in Figure 7-7. Leaving these pins open incorporates the 100-Ω resistor in the BOOT circuit, slowing the SW voltage slew rate and optimizing EMI. However, if improved EMI is not required, connecting RBOOT to CBOOT shorts the internal resistor, resulting in higher efficiency. Placing a resistor across RBOOT and CBOOT allows adjustment of the internal resistor to balance EMI and efficiency.
