8. BOOTSTRAPPED OPERATION
• IC has two kinds of power supplies, the power supply , SVCC is for
predrivers and the other circuit blocks(SVCC). PVCC1 and PVCC2 are for
the power transistors.
• When SVCC=PVCCn (n=1,2), no bootstrapped operation occurs. Thus the
single-ended maximum output voltage is
SVCC – (VcesatQ3 + Vbe1) ≅ SVCC – 1V
• If larger output swing is requied, use the bootstrap function. When
SVCC > PVCCn + 1V
the bootsrap function is operated.
• In this mode, the single-ended maximum output voltage is
PVCCn – VcesatQ1 ≅ PVCCn – 0.5 ; Thus wide output dynamic range
can be obtained.
