A Bootstrap Structure Directly Charged by BUS Voltage with Threshold-Based Digital Control for High-Speed Buck Converter

This article proposes a high-frequency, area-efficient high-side bootstrap circuit with threshold-based digital control (TBDC) that is directly charged by BUS voltage (DCBV). In the circuit, the voltage of the bootstrap is directly obtained from the BUS voltage instead of the on-chip low dropout reg...
