If the charge stored on the boost capacitor is not ade-
quately replenished then the gate-driver lockout for the
high-side MOSFET is triggered, stopping the high side
from switching. The low side continues switching, even-
tually recharging the capacitor, at which point the high
side starts switching again. To prevent this behavior,
use the boost capacitor’s cycle-by-cycle charging cir-
cuit to prevent unwanted shutdowns of the high side
(Figure 2). Connect the gate of a small high-voltage
FET (with the same voltage rating or higher as the main
FETs) to the DRVB output of the MAX5051. Connect the
drain of this FET to XFRMRH, and connect the source
to the primary ground. DRVB will briefly (300ns) turn
this FET ON every cycle after the main PWM clock ter-
minates. This allows the boost capacitor to be replen-
ished under all conditions, even when switching stops
completely. A suitable FET for this is BSS123 or equiva-
lent (100V, 170mA rated). The boost-capacitor charge
