Tool/software:
Hello There,
Today a colleague reviewed my schematic, and he noticed that I forgot the diodes on the BTST pins.
Now I wonder if these diodes are necessary since table 6-1 in the datasheet indicates that the DRV_SUP pin functions as a gate drive supply, in my schematic I use the output of REGN as a gate drive supply.
If these diodes are necessary, special requirements need to be taken into account such as: the current through the diode, do they have to be schottky's, etc. The datasheet unfortunately does not go into this in more detail.
I am looking forward to your answers.
Kind regards,
Teun Noordkamp
