9.3.7 Bootstrap Voltage and VCBOOT-UVLO (CBOOT Pin)

The driver of the High-Side (HS) switch requires bias higher than VIN. The capacitor, CBOOT, connected between CBOOT and SW, works as a charge pump to boost voltage on the CBOOT pin to SW + VCC. A boot diode is integrated on the LM61440-Q1 die to minimize external component count. It is recommended that a 100-nF capacitor rated for 10 V or higher is used. The VBOOT_UVLO threshold (2.1 V typ.) is designed to maintain proper HS switch operation. If the CBOOT capacitor voltage drops below VBOOT_UVLO, then the device initiates a charging sequence, turning on the low-side switch before attempting to turn on the HS switch.
