ADVANCE INFORMATION
Figure 9-3 shows a switching application where the slew rate on the switch node may be controlled by using resistors RVCCL and RVCCH. RVCCL may be used to slow down the turn-on of the Low Side GaN FET (for example, in a buck converter), and RVCCH may be used to slow down the turn-on of the High Side GaN FET (for example, in a boost converter). Using these resistors allows the system engineer to optimize the tradeoff between higher efficiency (faster slew rates) and lower ringing (slower slew rates).
