L6386E Bootstrap driver
Doc ID 13989 Rev 2 9/18
For example: using a power MOS with a total gate charge of 30 nC the drop on the
bootstrap DMOS is about 1 V, if the T
charge
is 5 μs. In fact:
V
drop
has to be taken into account when the voltage drop on C
BOOT
is calculated: if this drop
is too high, or the circuit topology doesn’t allow a sufficient charging time, an external diode
can be used.
