Bootstrap circuits are widely used in dc-dc converters to serve as top-side bias voltage supplies. After explaining how bootstrap circuits work, this article will show how versatile they can be. One ...

In most switching applications, the bootstrap circuit is widely used to drive the high-side metal-oxidesemiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET). This bootstrap circuit technique has the ...

To conserve energy, there has been a big push to lower the standby power in off-line power supplies. Many countries around the world are adopting green-mode Michael O'Loughlin, Customer Applications ...

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate a systematic approach to design high-performance bootstrap gate drive circuits for high-frequency, high-power, and high-efficiency switching applications ...

LTSpice is a tool that every electronics nerd should have at least a basic knowledge of. Those of us who work professionally in the analog and power worlds rely heavily on the validity of our ...
