APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Since the boost regulator supplies current for V
current is the V
age current to charge the gate. For a gate charge of 50nC
at a 10kHz rate, this adds 0.5mA of current. The power
dissipated by the boost regulator to supply the 4mA is
shown in Figure 12, representing a more typical situation.
Finally, the gate driver dissipates power internally when
charging and discharging the gate of the MOSFETs. This
power depends on the input capacitance of the MOSFETs
and the frequency of charge and discharge. The power
associated with this can be approximated by:
