PRODUCTION DATA
Figure 8-2 shows a switching application where the slew rate on the switch node may be controlled by using resistors RVCC and RBST. RVCC may be used to slow down the turn-on of the Low Side GaN FET (for example, in a buck converter), and RBST may be used to slow down the turn-on of the High Side GaN FET (for example, in a boost converter). Using these resistors allows the system engineer to optimize the tradeoff between higher efficiency (faster slew rates) and lower ringing (slower slew rates).
