After explaining how bootstrap circuits work, this article will show how versatile they can be. One example bootstrap circuit uses the LTC3728 highside driver.

The bootstrap circuit presented here is faster than traditional methods and also turns itself off after startup. The latter feature removes unwanted power dissipation, making it easier for ...

The gate driver has been configured with a synchronous FET bootstrap circuit featuring the 100 V, 2800 mΩ EPC2038 eGaN FET, which eliminates the driver losses induced by the reverse recovery of ...

The circuit in this Design Idea bootstraps a large capacitor in series with the solenoid to provide a large actuation voltage (Figure 1). This higher voltage provides substantially more current to ...

In addition, there is an integrated bootstrap circuit that helps minimize the bill of materials and simplify board layout. This circuit uses a synchronous MOSFET that lets the bootstrap voltage reach ...

Bootstrap circuits are very common when NMOS (or NPN) devices are used on the high side of a switching circuit, such as a half-bridge (and by extension, a full bridge) used to drive a motor or ...

Logic level inputs (from 2.5V) allow the chips to be controlled from 3.3V microcontrollers, Vcc is 8 to 14V , and a bootstrap circuit provides a voltage on top of the Vcc rail to enhance the top ...
