PRODUCTION DATA
The LM25017 device integrates an N-Channel Buck switch and associated floating high-voltage gate driver. The gate driver circuit works in conjunction with an external bootstrap capacitor and an internal high-voltage diode. A 0.01-uF ceramic capacitor connected between the BST pin and the SW pin provides the voltage to the driver during the on-time. During each off-time, the SW pin is at approximately 0 V, and the bootstrap capacitor charges from VCC through the internal diode. The minimum off-timer, set to 144 ns, ensures a minimum time each cycle to recharge the bootstrap capacitor.
