PRODUCTION DATA
The internal charge pump charges the external bootstrap capacitor (connected between BST and SRC pins) with approximately 100μA. In case of switching applications, the BST must be powered externally from VAUX supply (ranging between 8.1V to 15V) through a low-leakage silicon diode such as CMHD3595 or BAT46WH,115 to avoid collapsing the BST-SRC supply. This need is determined by the value of the switching frequency and MOSFET gate charge.
The maximum possible frequency without external supply is given by Equation 19.
As the present application is switched at 100Hz, external supply is not required. Use the following equation to calculate the minimum required value of the bootstrap capacitor for driving two parallel BUK7S0R5-40HJ MOSFETs.
Select the closest available standard value: 470nF, 10%.
