PRODUCTION DATA
For applications where the input voltage exceeds 100-V, all of the 100V-rated internal circuit blocks, including VCC start-up regulator, auxiliary supply and half-bridge gate drivers, need to be bypassed, or powered from a reduced voltage. In this case, VIN pin can be powered from an external start-up regulator, as shown in Figure 8-4. If pre-biased start-up is required the integrated flybuck aux circuit should be used from the reduced VIN pin voltage to supply the secondary control circuit. If pre-biased start-up is not required, the bias supply VAUX1, can be derived from an external auxiliary supply. An external gate driver with higher voltage rating should be used to drive the half bridge.
