Input logic is provided with an interlocking circuitry which avoids the two outputs (LVG, HVG) to be active at the
same time when both the logic input pins (LIN, HIN) are at a high logic level. In addition, to prevent cross conduction of the external MOSFETs, after each output is turned-off the other output cannot be turned-on before a
certain amount of time (DT) (see Figure 4).

3.1 BOOTSTRAP DRIVER
A bootstrap circuitry is needed to supply the high voltage section. This function is normally accomplished by a
high voltage fast recovery diode (fig. 8a). In the L6388 a patented integrated structure replaces the external diode. It is realized by a high voltage DMOS, driven synchronously with the low side driver (LVG), with in series
a diode, as shown in fig. 8b
An internal charge pump (fig. 8b) provides the DMOS driving voltage .
The diode connected in series to the DMOS has been added to avoid undesirable turn on of it.
3.2 CBOOT selection and charging
To choose the proper C
C
is related to the MOS total gate charge :
EXT
The ratio between the capacitors C
value the external MOS can be seen as an equivalent capacitor. This capacitor
BOOT
Q
-------------- -=
V
gate
gate
EXT
and C
C
EXT
is proportional to the cyclical voltage loss .
BOOT
It has to be:
CBOOT>>>CEXT
e.g.: if Q
is 30nC and V
gate
is 10V, C
gate
is 3nF. With C
EXT
= 100nF the drop would be 300mV.
BOOT
If HVG has to be supplied for a long time, the CBOOT selection has to take into account also the leakage losses.
e.g.: HVG steady state consumption is lower than 200
C
. This charge on a 1µF capacitor means a voltage drop of 1V.
EXT
µ
A, so if HVG TON is 5ms, CBOOT has to supply 1µC to
The internal bootstrap driver gives great advantages: the external fast recovery diode can be avoided (it usually
has great leakage current). This structure can work only if V
the LVG is on. The charging time (T
charge
) of the C
BOOT
is close to GND (or lower) and in the meanwhile
OUT
is the time in which both conditions are fulfilled and it

has to be long enough to charge the capacitor.
The bootstrap driver introduces a voltage drop due to the DMOS RDSON (typical value: 125 Ohm). At low fre-
quency this drop can be neglected. Anyway increasing the frequency it must be taken in to account.
The following equation is useful to compute the drop on the bootstrap DMOS:

For example: using a power MOS with a total gate charge of 30nC the drop on the bootstrap DMOS is about
1V, if the T
is 5µs. In fact:
