PRODUCTION DATA
The BOOST capacitance provides a local, low impedance source for the high-side driver. The BOOST capacitor must be a good quality, high-frequency capacitor. The size of the bypass capacitor depends on the total gate charge of the MOSFET and the amount of droop allowed on the bypass capacitor. The BOOST capacitance is described in Equation 31.
The 10-V reference pin, BP10V provides energy for both the synchronous MOSFET and the high-side MOSFET through the BOOST capacitor. Neglecting any efficiency penalty, the BP10V capacitance is described in Equation 32.
