Q: Are external gate pulldown resistors necessary for Buck controllers?
MAX20034 and MAX20098 are automotive off-battery Buck controllers. The datasheet recommends an external gate pulldown resistor…
Question:
I use 4x FETs in my MAX20034 dual buck controller circuit. Since I need to operate down to 4.5V battery input, the FETs in the circuit may operate at 99% on time during the low drop out mode…
