LMR33610: Query regarding Rise/Fall times of switching node & its match to simulations in pspice

Anant Devi
Prodigy 35 points
Part Number: LMR33610

Do TINA/Pspice simulated rise-fall times of switching pin for LMR336* devices match to actual measured rise/fall times?

In general observation with other manufacturer buck converters we see it does not match.

Is there any method to make it match for TI parts simulation?

Thank you!

    Anant,

    No, unfortunately the SW rising/fall waveforms are not accurately modeled for the TINA/PSPICE models. In addition to IC parameters, this would also require information about the parasitics of the layout which is not something we can accurately predict from a schematic-only simulation.

    Thanks Sam, this helps.

    Btw what sort of parasitic matter for R/FT,  we can use RLC extraction tool at our end and add to Pspice schematic. Actually we don't want very accurate value, something ballpark should work.

    Anant,

    That may help get a more accurate model but the majority of the rise/fall time would come from the FET characterization which isn't very accurate for these functional models. I'd expect a rise time of around 3-4ns and a fall time of 3-5ns at full load, more at lighter loads.
