Någon som har en aning om hur stor skillnad externa freewheeling dioder (Q1, Q2) gör i en synkron buck-konverter? Dvs jämfört med att använda den inbyggda "body" dioden?

Schottky Diode Selection
Optional Schottky diodes can be placed in parallel with the
top and bottom MOSFET switches. These diodes clamp
SW during the non-overlap times between conduction of
the top and bottom MOSFET switches. This prevents the
body diodes of the MOSFET switches from turning on,
storing charge during the non-overlap time and requiring
a reverse recovery period that could cost as much as
3% in efficiency at high VIN. One or both diodes can be
omitted if the efficiency loss can be tolerated. The diode
can be rated for about one-half to one-fifth of the full load
current since it is on for only a fraction of the duty cycle.
Larger diodes result in additional switching losses due to
their larger junction capacitance. In order for the diodes
to be effective, the inductance between them and the top
and bottom MOSFETs must be as small as possible. This
mandates that these components be placed next to each
other on the same layer of the PC board.

Det handlar mer om att inse att mosfetens diod har hög kapacitans. Den orsakar svängningar i kretsens ströinduktans.AndersG skrev:formler...Vad mer behöver du veta?
