upper MOSFET to suppress the Miller coupling effect. The
value of the resistor depends mainly on the input voltage’s
rate of rise, the C_GD/C_GS ratio, as well as the gate-source
threshold of the upper MOSFET. A higher dV/dt, a lower
C_DS/C_GS ratio, and a lower gate-source threshold upper
FET will require a smaller resistor to diminish the effect of
the internal capacitive coupling. For most applications, the
integrated 20kΩ typically sufficient, not affecting normal
performance and efficiency.
The coupling effect can be roughly estimated with the
following equations, which assume a fixed linear input ramp
and neglect the clamping effect of the body diode of the
upper drive and the bootstrap capacitor. Other parasitic
components such as lead inductances and PCB
capacitances are also not taken into account. These
equations are provided for guidance purpose only.
Therefore, the actual coupling effect should be examined
using a very high impedance (10MΩ or greater) probe to
ensure a safe design margin.
