PRODUCTION DATA.
The device has an integrated bootstrap regulator and requires a small ceramic capacitor between the BST and LX terminals to provide the gate drive voltage for the high-side MOSFET. The bootstrap capacitor is charged when the BST terminal voltage is less than VIN and BST-LX voltage is below regulation. The value of this ceramic capacitor is recommended 0.047 μF or less. A ceramic capacitor with an X7R or X5R grade dielectric with a voltage rating of 10 V or higher is recommended because of the stable characteristics over temperature and voltage.
To improve drop out, the device is designed to operate at 100% duty cycle as long as the BST to LX terminal voltage is greater than the BST-LX UVLO threshold which is typically 2.1 V. When the voltage between BST and LX drops below the BST-LX UVLO threshold the high-side MOSFET is turned off and the low-side MOSFET is turned on allowing the boot capacitor to be recharged.
