PRODUCTION DATA
The bootstrap capacitor between HB and SW pins supplies the gate current to charge the high-side MOSFET gate at the turn-on of each cycle as well as supplying the recovery charge for the bootstrap diode (D1).The peak current can be several amperes. The recommended value of the bootstrap capacitor is at least 0.022 µF and must be a good-quality, low-ESR, ceramic capacitor located close to the pins of the IC. The absolute minimum value for the bootstrap capacitor is calculated as:
where
.A value of 0.1 µF was selected for this design.
