The high-side gate drive voltage for the external MOSFET is generated using a doubler charge pump that operates from the PVDD voltage supply input. The charge pump allows the high-side gate drivers to properly bias the external N-channel MOSFET with respect to its source voltage across a wide input supply voltage range. The charge pump output is regulated to maintain a fixed voltage respect to VPVDD and supports an average output current capability of 15-mA. The charge pump is continuously monitored for an undervoltage event to prevent under driven MOSFET conditions.
Since the charge pump is regulated to the PVDD pin voltage the device is not designed to support significant voltage differences between the PVDD and DRAIN pins and these should be limited.
The charge pumps requires a low ESR, 1-µF, 16-V ceramic capacitor (X5R or X7R recommended) between the PVDD and VCP pins to act as the storage capacitor. Additionally, a low ESR, 100-nF, PVDD-rated ceramic capacitor (X5R or X7R recommended) is required between the CPH and CPL pins to act as the flying capacitor.
