Part Number: LM5008A

Dear team

Customer have some question, could you give some recommend?

We found the following problems when measuring Switch nodes.

As shown in the attachment, glitch will occur under full load, but no glitch occurs under light load.

Can you help to confirm what the problem is?

Full loading :

Ch1:Vin

Ch2:SW

Ch3:ISW

light loading :

Ch1:Vin

Ch2:SW

Ch3:ISW

Many thanks

some assuption:

1. it is related to the diode capacitor resonant with parasitic inductor on the PCB. so it maybe relate to the layout and diode feature.

if VIn is lower, whether the glitch will become a overshoot at full load?

Hi Daniel

I appreciated your reply.

- I will ask customer and reply to you.

I use the EVM and also find the glitch on switch node.

Do you find same glitch on EVM(LM5008AEVAL)?

Could you give some recommend?

Many thanks

Hi Denny：

I think the glitch is made by the diode capacitor resonant with parasitic inductor , if you also see in EVM, It should be a normal waveform and what's impact to customer system?

Thanks
