FUNCTIONAL DIAGRAM
PIN FUNCTIONS
BOOST (Pin 16): The BOOST pin is the supply for the
bootstrapped gate drive and is externally connected to a
low ESR ceramic boost capacitor referenced to SW pin.
The recommended value of the BOOST capacitor, C
BOOST
,
is 50 times greater than the total input capacitance of the
topside MOSFET. In most applications 0.1μF is adequate.
The maximum voltage that this pin sees is V

ground referred.
Exposed Pad (Pin 17): SGND. The exposed leadframe is
internally connected to the SGND pin. Solder the exposed
pad to the PCB ground for electrical contact and optimal
thermal performance.
