Functionality of L6393 outputs in below-ground condition

The L6393 IC gate driver makes use of a level shifter in order to send the set-reset

information to the high-side floating section. The level shifter, shown in Figure 34, is mainly

composed of two high-voltage switches, for set/reset signals, driven by the low-voltage

section and linked to two pull-up resistors connected to the BOOT pin.

The two level-shifted signals are then fed into a logic latch in the high-side floating section,

providing the logic state for the high-side gate driver (HVG output).
