PRODUCTION DATA
The device has charge pump that provides current to CBST bootstrap capacitor so that the bootstrap capacitor stays charged. This allows gate driver to operate 100% duty cycle. The charge pump also supports pre-charge of CBST capacitor at power up.
In addition to the support of 100% PWM duty cycle operation, the VCP charge pump is designed to support an overdrive supply for external components. The supply voltage VVCP is available on VCP pin and the voltage is regulated with respect to VDRAIN, where a capacitor is connected between VCP and VDRAIN pins. The VCP voltage may be used for an overdrive supply of external switch control circuits such as battery reverse protection switch, high-side switch, or motor phase isolation switches. While the VCP charge pump is designed to support these external loads, care must be taken to avoid exceeding the total current limit of the overdrive supply.
