Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LM5050-1
We are working with the LM5050-1 without using the regulation of the Drain-Source - Voltage of the MOSFET, to reduce conduction losses.
This is done by a voltage divider circuit at the OUT - input, which gives the 60mV datasheet threshold (see max. Vgs - value at the full temperature range on page 6), independant of the actual working condition. This works and the chip gives the full gate voltage without regulation.
But when I look at the datasheet an page 5, the the maximum gate voltage is defined at a Voltage Vout = Vin - 175mV.
When I understand it right, and it works like that, the gate voltage is max., if the 60mV is reached.
Where are the 175mV are coming from? I didn't found any hint in the datasheet.
Do I have to change the resistor divider to hav the 175mV to meet worst-case calculations?
