Tool/software:
Hey TI Team,
I'm planning to use LM2100R026 for implementing Constant Current based Buck Converter in one of my applications. When I went through the Datasheet, it says that internally its handling Dead Time which is less than 10nS. My question is whether, this Dead Time is sufficient for my application (avoiding cross Conduction of HFET & LFET) as I haven't given any external provision for handling Dead Time. Does it have sufficient provision of handling dead time by itself.
If this provided Dead Time or Dead Time Handling isn't sufficient, how can i ensure that i provide sufficient Dead Time for my Half Bridge. Should I provide any external Dead Time provision (using passives or IC's) in such cases. I need more clarity on this so that i don't end up shorting my boards after power up.
Awaiting your response.
