Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LM5185
Tool/software: WEBENCH® Design Tools
Hello,
As can be seen in the attached report generated by WEBENCH for a LM5185 design, the generated schematic includes 2 flyback diodes across the input-lowside MOSFET and the output-highside MOSFET. The example schematics in the LM5175 datasheet and the LM5185 Quick Start tool do not include these diodes.
Are these diodes some kind of indicator that the 2 mentioned MOSFETs are required to have body diodes? Or are they actual discrete components? And if they should be actual components, what is the criteria for selecting them?
Thanks for your help!
Best regards,
