Table 2-1 summarizes the main differences between three modes of output voltage behavior with the input when shutdown.
Voltage Drop | Power Loss | |
---|---|---|
Body diode pass | ||
Force pass through | ||
Bypass |
Consider force pass through mode and bypass mode if the load device is powered by the boost input voltage when the boost converter is shutdown. Devices with force pass through mode realize the connection without integrating an extra MOSFET and have a lower cost than bypass mode in equivalent specifications. Bypass mode provides a higher-efficiency connection design and is the better choice in large load current cases.
