ZHCSCN3B June 2014 – March 2018 LM46000
PRODUCTION DATA.
The driver of the HS switch requires a bias voltage higher than VIN when the HS switch is ON. The capacitor connected between CBOOT and SW pins works as a charge pump to boost voltage on the CBOOT pin to (VSW + VCC). The boot diode is integrated on the LM46000 die to minimize the bill of material (BOM). A synchronous switch is also integrated in parallel with the boot diode to reduce voltage drop on CBOOT. A high-quality ceramic, 0.47-µF, 6.3-V or higher capacitor is recommended for CBOOT.
