MOSFET Gate Drive
The Block Diagram (Figure 1) shows a bootstrap circuit,
consisting of D1 (a Schottky diode is recommended) and
C
circuit. Capacitor C
MOSFET is on, and the voltage on the SW pin is
approximately 0V. When the high-side MOSFET driver is
turned on, energy from C
on. As the high-side MOSFET turns on, the voltage on
the SW pin increases to approximately V
reverse biased and C
keep the high-side MOSFET on. The bias current of the
high-side driver is less than 10mA so a 0.1μF to 1μF is
sufficient to hold the gate voltage with minimal droop for
the power stroke (high-side switching) cycle, i.e. ΔBST =
10mA × 1.67μs/0.1μF = 167mV. When the low-side
MOSFET is turned back on, C
D1. A small resistor R
be used to slow down the turn-on time of the high-side
N-channel MOSFET.
The drive voltage is derived from the V
The nominal low-side gate drive voltage is V
nominal high-side gate drive voltage is approximately
V
D1. An approximate 30ns delay between the high-side
and low-side driver transitions is used to prevent current
from simultaneously flowing unimpeded through both
MOSFETs.
