PRODUCTION DATA
The bootstrap capacitor between the BST and SW pin supplies the gate current to charge the ISO FET device gate during the turn on of each cycle. The gate current also supplies charge for the bootstrap capacitor. The recommended value of the bootstrap capacitor is 0.47μF to 1μF. CBST must be a good quality, low-ESR ceramic capacitor located at the pins of the device to minimize potentially damaging voltage transients caused by trace inductance. A value of 0.47μF was selected for this design example.
