7.3.2 Bootstrap Voltage (CB)

The LV284 has an integrated boot regulator, and requires a small ceramic capacitor between the CB and SW pins to provide the gate drive voltage for the high side MOSFET. The CB capacitor is refreshed when the high side MOSFET is off and the low side diode conducts.

To improve drop out, the LV284 is designed to operate at 96% duty cycle as long as the CB to SW pin voltage is greater than 3.2 V. When the voltage from CB to SW drops below 3.2 V, the high-side MOSFET is turned off using an UVLO circuit which allows the low side diode to conduct and refresh the charge on the CB capacitor. Because the supply current sourced from the CB capacitor is low, the high-side MOSFET can remain on for more switching cycles than are required to refresh the capacitor, thus the effective duty cycle of the switching regulator is high.

Attention must be taken in maximum duty cycle applications with light load. To ensure SW can be pulled to ground to refresh the CB capacitor, an internal circuit will charge the CB capacitor when the load is light or the device is working in dropout condition.
