In your evaluation board TPS23753AEVM-001 , there is a BAV99 in the feedback circuit. Can you explain the purpose of this diode? protection?

  • Hi Tony,

    This is needed for softstart along with the RC circuit that's connected to it. For example, the reference is ramped up slowly given the RC network. The diodes act to discharge the cap at turn off and not affect the feedback loop of the converter.

    Please let me know if this helps. Thanks!
