Integrated circuit driver having stable bootstrap power supply

摘要

An integrated circuit driver is disclosed. The driver comprises a high side transistor and a low side transistor connected in series. The output of the driver is taken from the source of the high side transistor and the drain of the low side transistor. A bootstrap contact pad is connected to the output node. Connected to the bootstrap contact pad is a bootstrap capacitor that is also connected to a high side gate drive that selectively controls the high side transistor.
