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