- I want to understand the Mosfet driver boot strap capacitor waveforms.
i have captured the boot strap capacitor waveforms which i have captured while doing the motor testing.
Measurement data:
Differential probe with 20 as factor, hence the difference is (2.14 - 1.14 )*20 = 20V.
Positive side of probe on VB, negative side on Vs.
There is offset of -640mV = 0.64*20 = 12.8V
I have attached the driver IC data sheet, i gave VCC = 12V.
My understanding of the waveform when the low side is ON the CBS gets charged to VCC (12V) and when high side is ON VS = DC bus voltage which is 48V, VB = VS + VBS = 48V + 12V = 60V ; VGS = 12V.
I expected that voltage across bootstrap stayed at 12V with small ripples, but it is getting charged upto 20V, The 20V is the maximum value as per the data sheet. Can you please explain what mistake i am doing.
