__________Applications Information
Low-Input-Voltage Operation
When the voltage at V
DD
falls and EXT1 or EXT2
approaches the MOSFET gate-to-source threshold volt-
age, the MOSFET may operate in its linear region and
dissipate excessive power. Prolonged operation in this
mode may damage the MOSFET if power dissipation
ratings are inadequate. This effect is more significant in
non-bootstrapped mode, but can occur in boot-
strapped mode if the input voltage drops so low that it
cannot support the load and causes the output voltage
to collapse. To avoid this condition, use logic-level or
low-threshold MOSFETs.
Starting Up Under Load
The Typical Operating Characteristics show the
Bootstrapped-Mode Minimum Start-Up Input Voltage
vs. Output Current graph. The MAX863 is not intended
to start up under full load in bootstrapped mode with
low input voltages.
________________Application Circuits
Bootstrapped 5V Logic and
24V LCD Bias Supply
The circuit in Figure 8 operates from two AA or AAA
cells, and generates 5V (up to 750mA) for logic and
24V (up to 35mA) for an LCD bias supply. OUT1 is
used to bootstrap the MAX863 for better MOSFET gate
drive. V
OUT1
can be set to 3.3V if low threshold
MOSFETs are used.
