LMR43620-Q1: Please check the "dead time" of 2 devices.

Part Number: LMR43620-Q1

Tool/software:

Dear TI experts,

(This question is already posted 2 months ago but no one answered. - https://e2e.ti.com/support/power-management-group/power-management/f/power-management-forum/1481811/lmr43620-q1-please-check-the-dead-time-of-2-devices)

My customer has a question about "dead time".

I found the document below, and it describes "a short delay time is inserted between Q1 and Q2 switch over, which is defined as Dead-time." on page 3.

So could you check the dead time of 2 devices below?

  • LMR43620RS5QRPERQ1
  • TPS55289QWRYQRQ1

Best regards,

Chase

  • Hi Chase,

    For the devices listed, they are both synchronous converters so we have no way of directly seeing the gate voltages for the two FET's which makes it difficult to get the deadtime of the device. On a controller which has external FET's you can easily see this by looking at the gate drive signals that get sent out externally on pins.

    Thanks,

    Dino
