where Q
MOSFET, C
the bootstrap voltage immediately before turn-on, and
V
The bootstrap capacitor begins its refresh cycle when the gate
drive begins to turn-off the upper MOSFET. A refresh cycle
ends when the upper MOSFET is turned on again, which
varies depending on the switching frequency and duty cycle.
The minimum bootstrap capacitance can be calculated by
rearranging the previous equation and solving for C
Typical gate charge values for MOSFETs considered in
these types of applications range from 20 to 100nC. Since
the voltage drop across Q
simply V
minimize the voltage drop across the bootstrap capacitor
during the on-time of the upper MOSFET. Initial calculations

For example, consider an upper MOSFET is chosen with a
maximum gate charge, Q
drop across the bootstrap capacitor to 1V results in a value
of no less than 0.1µF. The tolerance of the ceramic capacitor
should also be considered when selecting the final bootstrap
capacitance value.
A fast recovery diode is recommended when selecting a
bootstrap diode to reduce the impact of reverse recovery
charge loss. Otherwise, the recovery charge, Q
have to be added to the gate charge of the MOSFET and
taken into consideration when calculating the minimum
bootstrap capacitance.
