Tool/software:
Dear TI team
We are considering using the LMG1210 to drive a GaNFET.
A gate resistor has been inserted between the gate driver output and the gate pin of the GaNFET to reduce overshoot/undershoot caused by parasitic inductance.
In addition, an SBD has been inserted in parallel with the gate resistor to improve turn-off speed.
The datasheet states that the maximum peak sink current of the LMG1210 is 4.3A.
To make full use of this performance, I believe the SBD should have an IFSM (Peak Surge Forward Current) of 4.3A or more.
Is this understanding correct?
Best Regards,
