CB capacitor value calculation for bootstrap circuit
Calculate conditions
Capacitance calculation formula
Thus, the following formula are true
VBS x CB - QG - IDMAX * TONMAX = UVLO * CB
therefore,
CB = (QG + IDMAX * TONMAX) / (VBS - UVLO)
The relationship between TONMAX and CB becomes as follows. CB is recommended to be approximately 3 times the value calculated
above. The recommended value of CB is in the range of 1 to 47 μF, however, this value needs to be verified prior to production.
