Bootstrap Control
The Bootstrap control block controls the integrated
bootstrap switch. When LGATE is high (low-side MOSFET
is turned on), the bootstrap switch is turned on to charge
the bootstrap capacitor connected to BOOT pin. When
LGATE is low (low-side MOSFET is turned off), the
bootstrap switch is turned off to disconnect VCC pin and
BOOT pin.

Note 1. Stresses beyond those listed “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are
stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in
the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions may
affect device reliability.
Note 2. θJA is measured at TA = 25°C on a high effective thermal conductivity four-layer test board per JEDEC 51-7. θJC is
measured at the exposed pad of the package.
Note 3. Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precaution is recommended.
