Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum current rating of the module?
The FDMF6820A has a high-current handling rating of 60A DS(ON).
Is snubber circuitry needed for most designs using this DrMOS?
No, the PQFN Copper-Clip Package technology reduces switch ringing, eliminating the need for snubber circuits in most buck converter applications.
How does it improve light-load efficiency?
It includes a Skip Mode (SMOD#) and Driver Output Disable Function (DISB# Pin) for improved light-load efficiency.
What recommended components are needed near specific pins?
A minimum 1uF ceramic capacitor is recommended for the VCIN pin, and a bootstrap capacitor should connect from BOOT to PHASE.
