Rg impact for MOSFETs in buck/buck-boost configurations

AN4191

Doc ID 023815 Rev 1

Figure 22.

Synchronous buck converter schematic

In this board two different sample categories of the same device (20 V / 5A SLL Vth) are

compared: the “good” parts, with standard Rg (aligned to datasheet values) and the “bad”

parts, with high Rg values. The dynamic parameters are reported in Table 2 and 3.

The main analysis key points are:

●

Switching behavior evaluation and waveform capture

●

Driver/MOSFET thermal measurements at board startup.

In Figure 23 and Figure 24, the VDS and VOUT waveforms for “good” and “bad” parts,

respectively, are illustrated.
