S, the bootstrap voltage can be varied. Figure 5(a) shows

the switching waveforms of a correctly bootstrapped 0V

to 5V regulator with V

S = 2.5V. All three traces share the

same ground level. When the power transistor is turned

on, V

SW should come within a few hundred millivolts of VIN

and V

BST should have at least 2V of headroom above VSW.

As V

S is reduced to .9V, excessive VBST droop decreases

transistor driver headroom, as shown in Figure 5(b). The

power transistor can no longer be fully saturated (as

evidenced by the round V

SW turn-off corners), resulting in

high power dissipation. When bootstrapping from a low-

voltage output or supply, checking the bootstrap voltage

is a good precaution.

Since the inductor current charges C

3, the bootstrap

circuit requires some minimum load current to function.

Figures 6(a) and 6(b) show the minimum input voltage

required to saturate the power transistor and to produce

a regulated output as a function of the load current. Once

started, the bootstrap circuit is able to sustain itself down

to zero load.
