7.3.11 HG Output

The LM5088 provides a high current, high-side driver and associated level shift circuit to drive an external N-channel MOSFET. The gate driver works in conjunction with an internal diode and external bootstrap capacitor. A ceramic bootstrap capacitor is recommended, and must be connected directly between the BOOT and SW pins. During the off time of the buck switch, the bootstrap capacitor charges from VCC through an internal diode. When operating with a high PWM duty cycle, the HG output is forced-off each cycle for 365 ns (maximum) to make sure that BOOT capacitor is recharged. A pre-charge circuit, comprised of a MOSFET between SW and GND, is turned ON during the forced off time to help replenish the BOOT capacitor. The pre-charge circuit provides charge to the BOOT capacitor under light load or pre-biased load conditions when the SW voltage does not remain low during the entire off time.
