TLV62130A: using with schottky diode

Part Number: TLV62130A

Hi,

We got a question from customer about TLV62130A.
Could you help us?

[Question]
Our customer is considering adding schottky barrior diode from PGND to SW for improving efficiency. Is there any concerns in this usage?

Best Regards,
tateo

  • Hello Tateo,

    there is no concern adding the external schottky diode, however it is not needed and will not improve the efficiency. The switching of the internal low side FET for synchronous rectifying is faster than the conducting time of an external schottky diode.

    Best regards,
