JAJSNT0A december 2022 – april 2023 MCT8315A
PRODUCTION DATA
Since the output stages use N-channel FETs, the device requires a gate-drive voltage higher than the VM power supply to turn-on the high-side FETs. The MCT8315A integrates a charge-pump circuit that generates a voltage above the VM supply for this purpose.
The charge pump requires two external capacitors (CCP, CFLY) for operation. See Figure 7-1 and Table 5-1 for details on these capacitors (value, connection, and so forth).
