PRODUCTION DATA.
CIN2 - A small value (0.1-µF to 1-µF) ceramic capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the drain of the high-side MOSFET and source of the low-side MOSFET (dual MOSFETs make this easy). This capacitor should be X5R type dielectric or better.
RCC, CCC- These are standard filter components designed to ensure smooth DC voltage for the chip supply. RCC should be 1 Ω to 10 Ω. CCC should 1 µF, X5R type or better.
CBOOT- Bootstrap capacitor, typically 100 nF.
RPULL-UP – This is a standard pull-up resistor for the open-drain power good signal (PWGD). The recommended value is 10 kΩ connected to VCC. If this feature is not necessary, the resistor can be omitted.
D1 - A small Schottky diode should be used for the bootstrap. It allows for a minimum drop for both high and low-side drivers. The MBR0520 or BAT54 work well in most designs.
RCS - Resistor used to set the current limit. Since the design calls for a peak current magnitude (IOUT+ (0.5 x ΔIOUT)) of 4.8 A, a safe setting would be 6A. (This is below the saturation current of the output inductor, which is 7 A.) Following the equation from the Current Limit section, a 1.3-kΩ resistor should be used.
RFADJ - This resistor is used to set the switching frequency of the chip. The resistor value is calculated from equation in Normal Operation section. For 300-kHz operation, a 97.6-kΩ resistor should be used.
CSS - The soft-start capacitor depends on the user requirements and is calculated based on the equation given in the section titled Start Up and Soft-Start. Therefore, for a 700-μs delay, a 12-nF capacitor is suitable.
