Refer to Appendix A for Directory of component suppliers.

Notes:

1.When used in synchronous mode, a 1A schottky diode such as the 1N5817 should be substituted for the MBR2015CT.

2.A target RDS,ON value of 10mΩ should be used for each output driver switch. Refer to Table 3 for alternative MOSFETs.

PCB Layout Guidelines and Considerations

PCB Layout Guidelines

Placement of the MOSFETs relative to the RC5050 is critical. Place the MOSFETs (M1 & M2) so that the trace length of the HIDRV pin from the RC5050 to the FET gates is minimized. A long lead length on this pin would cause high amounts of ringing due to the inductance of the

trace and the large gate capacitance of the FET. This noise radiates all throughout the board, and, because it is switching at such a high voltage and frequency, it is very difficult to suppress.

Figure 15 shows an example of good placement for the MOSFETs in relation to the RC5050. In addition, this fig- ure shows an example of problematic placement for the MOSFETs.
