Schottky Diode for Synchronous MOSFET

The efficiency of the buck converter can be improved

slightly by placing a Schottky diode (D1) in parallel with the

bottom MOSFET (Q3). The body diode of Q3 is used to

conduct current during the non-overlap time when both the

top (Q2) and bottom (Q3) MOSFETs are turned OFF. But

because the non-overlap time is only approximately 50 ns

for the NCP1571’s 200 kHz switching speed, the efficiency

savings

will

only

approximately

1.0%.

The

demonstration board included a provision for D1; however,

the performance of the circuit was not testing with this

diode.

Experimental Results

The experimental results of the demonstration PCB are

shown in Figures 4 through 20. Figure 3 shows the test setup

used to create the current load transients for the Vtt supply

voltage. The transient current load tests for the Vdd and Vtt

supply voltages were created using a Kikusui Electronic

Load Controller. Unless noted, the standard test conditions

are as listed below:

1. Ambient Temperature = 23

2. Vdd Current Load (IVdd) = 8.0 A

3. Vtt Current Load (IVtt) = 1.25 A source load

4. VREF Current Load (IREF) = 2.5 mA

5. 5.0 V Input Voltage = 5.00 V

6. 12 V Input Voltage = 12.00 V

7. -12 V Input Voltage = -12.00 V
