ADVANCE INFORMATION for pre-production products; subject to change without notice.
The driver of the power switch (HS switch) requires bias higher than VIN when the HS switch is turned 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 LMR36506-Q1 die to minimize physical solution size. A 100 nF capacitor rated for 6.3-V or higher is recommended for CBOOT. The CBOOT rail has a UVLO to protect the chip from operation with too little bias. This UVLO has a threshold of VCBOOT_UVLO and is typically set at 2.1 V. If the CBOOT capacitor is not charged above this voltage with respect to SW, then the part initiates a charging sequence using the low-side FET before attempting to turn on the high-side device.
