Topside MOSFET Driver Supply (C
External bootstrap capacitors C
1 and BOOST 2 pins supply the gate drive voltages for the
topside MOSFETs. Capacitor C
is charged through diode D
SW1(SW2) pin is low. When one of the topside MOSFETs
is to be turned on, the driver places the C
the gate source of the desired MOSFET. This enhances the
MOSFET and turns on the topside switch. The switch node
voltage SW1(SW2) rises to V
2) pin follows. With the topside MOSFET on, the boost
voltage is above the input supply: V
The value of the boost capacitor C
that of the total input capacitance of the topside MOSFET(s).

inductive boost winding as shown in Figure 4a or the
capacitive charge pump shown in Figure 4b. The charge
pump has the advantage of simple magnetics.

it may be used to power EXTV
ible with the MOSFET gate drive requirements. When
driving standard threshold MOSFETs, the external sup-
ply must be always present during operation to prevent
MOSFET failure due to insufficient gate drive. Note: care
must be taken when using the connections in items 3 or
4. These connections will effect the INTV
when either or both controllers are on.
