Non-Bootstrapped Operation
With non-bootstrapped operation, the IC is powered
from the input voltage (V
IN
) or another source, such as
a logic supply. Non-bootstrapped operation (Figure 4)
is recommended (but not required) for input voltages
above 5V, since the EXT amplitude (limited to 5V by
LDO) at this voltage range is no higher than it would be
with bootstrapped operation. Note that non-boot-
strapped operation is
required
if the output voltage
exceeds 28V, since this level is too high to safely con-
nect to V
CC
. Also note that only the MAX668 can be
used with non-bootstrapped operation.
If the input voltage does not exceed 5.5V, the on-chip
regulator can be disabled by connecting V
CC
to LDO
(Figure 5). This eliminates the regulator forward drop
and supplies the maximum gate drive to the external
FET for lowest on-resistance. Disabling the regulator
also reduces the non-bootstrapped minimum input volt-
age from 3V to 2.7V.
