PRODUCTION DATA
The CDIV1 and CDIV2 capacitances required depends on the amount of drop that can be tolerated on the VDDH rail during switching of the external load. The charge stored on the CDIV1 and CDIV2 capacitances is used to provide the current to the load during switching. During switching, charge sharing occurs and the voltage on VDDH drops. At a minimum, TI recommends that the total capacitance formed by the series combination of CDIV1 and CDIV2 be sized to be at least 20 times the total gate capacitance to be switched. This sizing results in an approximate 0.5-V drop of the VDDH supply rail that is used to supply power to the VDRV signal. Equation 1 and Equation 2 can be to used to calculate the amount of capacitance required for a specified voltage drop.
CDIV1 and CDIV2 must be of the same type and tolerance.
where
Larger values of ΔV can be used in the application, but excessive droop can cause the VDDH undervoltage lockout falling threshold (VVDDH_UVLO_F) to be reached and cause VDRV to be asserted low. Note that as the series combination of CDIV1 and CDIV2 capacitances increases relative to QLOAD, the VDDH supply voltage drop decreases, but the initial charging of the VDDH supply voltage during power up increases.
For this design, assuming n = 1 and ΔV ≅ 0.5 V, then
For this design, CDIV1 = CDIV2 = 470 nF standard capacitor values were selected.
