JAJS194E January 2007 – June 2019 TPS40077
PRODUCTION DATA.
The TPS40077 series has internal diodes to charge the boost capacitor connected from SW to BOOST. The drop across these diodes is rather large, 1.4 V nominal, at room temperature. If this drop is too large for a particular application, an external diode may be connected from DBP (anode) to BOOST (cathode). This provides significantly improved gate drive for the high-side FET, especially at lower input voltages.
