3) Bootstrap operation

Fig.5 Charging period

Fig.6 Discharging period

The bootstrap is operated by the charge period and the discharge period being alternately repeated for bootstrap

capacitor (CB) as shown in the above figure. In a word, this operation is repeated while the output of an external

transistor is switching with synchronous rectification. Because the supply voltage of the floating driver is charged from the

VCC power supply to CB through prevention of backflow diode DX, it is approximately (VCC-1V).

The resistance series connection with DX has the impedance of approximate 200Ω.

The capacitance value for the bootstrap is following:

Example)

Output MOSFET total gate charge Qg : 25nC(max.)

The drop voltage can be allowed actually becomes small further by the range of the use power supply voltage, the output

MOSFET on resistance, the forward voltages of the internal boot diode (the drop voltage to the capacitor by the charge

current), and the power supply voltage monitor circuits etc. Please set the tenfold or more the calculation value to the

criterion about the capacitance value to secure the margin in consideration of temperature characteristics and the value

change, etc. Moreover, the example of the mentioned above assumes the synchronous rectification switching. Because

the total gate charge is needed only by the carrier frequency in the upper switching section, for example 150°

commutation driving, it becomes a great capacity shortage in the above settings. Please set it after often confirming

actual application operation.

4) Thermal shutdown (TSD) circuit

The TSD circuit operates when the junction temperature of the gate driver exceeds the preset temperature (150°C

nominal). At this time, the controller forces all driver outputs low. Since thermal hysteresis is provided in the TSD circuit,

the chip returns to normal operation when the junction temperature falls below the preset temperature (125°C nominal).

The TSD circuit is designed only to shut the IC off to prevent thermal runaway. It is not designed to protect the IC or

guarantee its operation in the presence of extreme heat. Do not continue to use the IC after the TSD circuit is activated,

and do not use the IC in an environment where activation of the circuit is assumed. Moreover, it is not possible to follow

to the output MOSFET junction temperature rising rapidly because it is a gate driver chip that monitors the temperature

and it is likely not to function effectively.

5) Overcurrent protection (OCP) circuit

The overcurrent protection circuit can be activated by connecting a low value resistor for current detection between the

PGND pin and the GND pin. When the PGND pin voltage reaches or surpasses the threshold value (0.9V nominal), the

gate driver outputs low to the gate of all output MOSFETs, thus initiating the overcurrent protection operation.
