9.2.2.6 BOOT Capacitor

The LM6x4xx requires a bootstrap capacitor connected between the CBOOT pin and the SW pin. This capacitor stores energy which is used to supply the gate drivers for the power MOSFETs. A high-quality 100-nF ceramic capacitor with a rating of at least 10 V is required. The package provides space between the VIN2 and RBOOT pins to route SW to the boot capacitor without needing long traces or multi-layer routing.
