8.3.4 Low Dropout Operation and Bootstrap Voltage (BOOT)

The LV14360 provides an integrated bootstrap voltage regulator. A small capacitor between the BOOT and SW pins provides the gate drive voltage for the high-side MOSFET. The BOOT capacitor is refreshed when the high-side MOSFET is off and the external low-side diode conducts. The recommended value of the BOOT capacitor is 0.1 μF. TI recommends a ceramic capacitor with an X7R or X5R grade dielectric with a voltage rating of 16 V or greater for stable performance over temperature and voltage.

When operating with a low voltage difference from input to output, the high-side MOSFET of the LV14360 operates at approximate 90% duty cycle. When the high-side MOSFET is continuously on for five or six switching cycles (five or six switching cycles for frequency lower than 1 MHz, and 10 or 11 switching cycles for frequency higher than 1 MHz) and the voltage from BOOT to SW drops below 3.2 V, the high-side MOSFET is turned off and an integrated low-side MOSFET pulls SW low to recharge the BOOT capacitor.

Since the gate drive current sourced from the BOOT capacitor is small, the high-side MOSFET can remain on for many switching cycles before the MOSFET is turned off to refresh the capacitor. Thus the effective duty cycle of the switching regulator can be high, approaching 90%. The effective duty cycle of the converter during dropout is mainly influenced by the voltage drops across the power MOSFET, the inductor resistance, the low-side diode voltage, and the printed circuit board resistance.
