Hi Team,
During test, we set Rboot=20ohm, Cboot= 0.1uf, then we found there is large oscillation on Boot-SW ( up to ~9V) during the period when LS FET is closed. When decreasing the Rboot, the oscillation is small. So want to check with you why there is oscillation. Thanks.

Hi Given
20 ohm is definitely a large value to be using for Rboot. We would recommend between 1 ohm to 2 ohm.

Hi Given
Those spikes look like the boot charge circuit. With the 20 Ohm resistance, when the boot pin outputs current to charge the boot cap the voltage shoots up so the boot charge turns off right away. When the voltage drops enough the boot charge tries again to charge the boot cap Looks like there is about a 2 V jump which is 100 mA. I would recommend against using such a large boot resistance and use a 1 ohm to 2 ohm resistance.
As we are discussing this by email, I will go ahead and close it.
