EVALUATION KIT FOR
SA305EX
DB62
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
a) 6 schottky diodes D1-D6 (2 for each output provided with
DB62) are recommended for use as external flyback diodes
because of superior reverse recovery characteristics. Please
note that in the DB62, jumpers are needed in order to con-
nect the external schottky diodes (see EVAL49 layout).
b) External RC snubber circuits (R13 and C5, R16 and C8,
R19 and C10 in EVAL49 schematic) can provide noise
immunity especially in high load current scenarios. A 100
V 4.7nF capacitor in series with a 50 ohm 5W resistor
(provided with kit) is recommended for the snubber to be
connected between each output and PGND.
The power dissipated in the snubber components can be
estimated by;
P = V2 C FSW
Where
P is the power dissipated
V is the VS supply voltage
C is the snubber capacitor value (15nF)
FSW is the switching frequency.
GROUNDING CONSIDERATIONS
The EVAL49 has three separate ground paths for signal
ground (SGND), power ground (PGND) and digital ground
(DGND). SGND and PGND are the ground paths for the
SA305 while the DGND is for the MCU and related circuitry.
These grounds need to be connected on the board by putting
a jumper between SGND and DGND and another between
PGND and DGND. These jumpers are located in the center
of the board on the right of the SA305. Do not connect the
grounds at any other points to avoid ground loops and un-
wanted voltage drops.
