For 3.3V and other low voltage regulators, efficiency
gains can still be realized by connecting EXTV

For applications where the main input power is 5V, tie the
V
to the 5V input with a 1Ω or 2.2Ω resistor (as shown in
Figure 13) to minimize the voltage drop caused by the
gate charge current. This will override the INTV
regulator and will prevent INTV
due to the dropout voltage. Make sure the INTV
is at or exceeds the R
which is typically 4.5V for logic-level devices.
Topside MOSFET Driver Supply (C
External bootstrap capacitors, C
BOOST pins supply the gate drive voltages for the top-
side MOSFETs. Capacitor C
is charged though external diode D
the SW 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, SW, rises to V
With the topside MOSFET on, the boost voltage is above

The reverse breakdown of the external Schottky diode

drive level, the final arbiter is the total input current for
the regulator. If a change is made and the input current
decreases, then the efficiency has improved. If there is
no change in input current, then there is no change in
efficiency.
