of no less than 0.1碌F. The tolerance of the ceramic capacitor
should also be considered when selecting the final bootstrap
capacitance value.
A fast recovery diode is recommended when selecting a
bootstrap diode to reduce the impact of reverse recovery
charge loss. Otherwise, the recovery charge, Q
RR
, would
have to be added to the gate charge of the MOSFET and
taken into consideration when calculating the minimum
bootstrap capacitance.
Typical gate charge values for MOSFETs considered in
these types of applications range from 20 to 100nC. Since
the voltage drop across Q

is negligible, V

CPVOUT
- V
D
. A schottky diode is recommended to
minimize the voltage drop across the bootstrap capacitor
during the on-time of the upper MOSFET. Initial calculations
with V
BOOT2
no less than 4V will quickly help narrow the
bootstrap capacitor range.
For example, consider an upper MOSFET is chosen with a
maximum gate charge, Q
g
, of 100nC. Limiting the voltage
drop across the bootstrap capacitor to 1V results in a value
