Bootstrap driver
A bootstrap circuitry is needed to supply the high voltage section. This function is normally
accomplished by a high voltage fast recovery diode
integrated structure replaces the external diode. It is realized by a high voltage DMOS,
driven synchronously with the low side driver (LVG), with diode in series, as shown in

The internal bootstrap driver gives a great advantage: the external fast recovery diode can
be avoided (it usually has great leakage current).

The bootstrap driver introduces a voltage drop due to the DMOS R
125 Ω). At low frequency this drop can be neglected. Anyway increasing the frequency it
must be taken in to account.
The following equation is useful to compute the drop on the bootstrap DMOS:
