PRODUCTION DATA
The driver of the high-side power switch (HS switch) requires bias higher than VIN when the HS switch is ON. The capacitor connected between CBOOT and SW works as a charge pump to boost voltage on the CBOOT terminal to (SW + VCC). The boot diode is integrated on the LM614xxT-Q1 die to minimize the physical design size. TI recommends a 100nF capacitor rated for 10V with X7R or better dielectric for the CBOOT capacitor. The boot (CBOOT) rail has a UVLO to protect the chip from operation with too little bias. This UVLO has a threshold of VBOOT_UVLO and is typically 2.1V. If the CBOOT capacitor voltage drops below VBOOT_UVLO, then the device initiates a charging sequence using the low-side FET before attempting to turn on the high-side device.
