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 non-inverting buck-boost converter has emerged as one of the most promising topologies for distributed maximum power point tracking applications. Pressure to reduce cost and volume of photovoltaic ...

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 ...

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

This article proposes a control scheme for quasi-sixstep operation with a voltage constraint to improve the torque capability of low-cost drives with bootstrap circuits. Voltage utilization is limited ...
