Part Number: LM5069
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CSD19536KTT, CSD18537NQ5A

Hello team,

Do you have a recommendation of TI FET used with LM5069?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Sawamoto,

We recommend to use FETs having strong SOA support such as PSMN4R8-100BSE or CSD19536KTT. Can you share filled up design sheet for review.

Hi Rakesh,

I'd like to ask an additional question.
The EVM uses different FETs for back to back. Is there any specific reason of choosing different FETs or is it okay for same FETs?

Regards,
S.Sawamoto

Hi Sawamoto,

Q1 is hot-swap MOSFET which needs to have strong SOA support to withstand power stress during fault events and Q2 is OR-ing FET.

The OR-ing FET selection is based on Ron (to meet steady state power loss), voltage rating to support maximum reverse voltage.

Thanks a lot, Rakesh.

Allow me to ask one more question.
I understood that Q1 is required stronger SOA than Q2 for fault events.
It looks Q1(SUM50N06-16L) and Q2(CSD18537NQ5A) on the EVM have similar SOA performance.
Is there any specific reason or background why those two devices are selected separately?

Hi Sawamoto,

I believe the design might have not optimized much in terms of FET cost. There should not be any specific reason in having stronger SOA FET for ORing side.
