The RSET resistor is part of an internal DC feedback loop in the GS2988. The resistor
should be placed as close as possible to the R
plane (traces/wires may cause instability). In addition, the PCB capacitance should be
minimized at this node by removing the PCB groundplane beneath the RSET resistor and
the RSET pin.
NOTE: Care should be taken when considering layout of the RSET resistor. Please refer
to
Figure 4-1: V
In order to determine the best starting value for Rset, the following formula should be
used:
Rset = 8*(Rtrm/VoutppSE)
Where VoutppSE is in Volts, and both resistances are in Ω.
Rtrm is the value of the termination resistors, which should be equal to the
characteristic impedance of the cable, and is typically 75Ω.
The cable must be short (≤1m), and terminated at both ends for the formula to be valid.
Example: For a 75Ω cable, Rtrm = 75Ω (at both ends), VoutppSE = 800mV
Rset = 8*(75/0.8) = 750Ω
This formula is not valid for long, unterminated, or improperly terminated cables.
