BQ24780S: REGN Capacitance

Part Number: BQ24780S

Hi Team,

My customer is asking if there is a reason we are suggesting an 2.2uF 0603 capacitor for the REGN pin besides the derating. Any concerns with using an 0402 with an effective capacitance of 2.2uF?

Regards, Diego Lewis

  • Hey Diego,

    Its also related to the power handling capability. REGN is used, among other things, as the bias supply to the gate drivers, to here is a decent amount of instantaneous current delivered by the output cap for REGN to the gate drivers and ultimately the external NMOS gates.
