PRODUCTION DATA
A BOOT resistor can be connected between the CBOOT and RBOOT pins. Unless EMI for the application being designed is critical, these two pins can be shorted. A 100-Ω resistor between these pins eliminates overshoot. Even with 0 Ω, overshoot and ringing are minimal, less than 2 V if input capacitors are placed correctly. A boot resistor of 100 Ω, which corresponds to approximately 2.7 ns SW node rise time and decreases efficiency by approximately 0.5% at 2 MHz. To maximize efficiency, 0 Ω is chosen for this example. Under most circumstances, selecting an RBOOT resistor value above 100 Ω is undesirable since the resulting small improvement in EMI is not enough to justify further decreased efficiency.
