Figure 6. Using the INT202 and INT201 to Drive a Switched Reluctance Motor.
General Circuit Operation (cont.)
The bootstrap capacitor must be large
enough to provide bias current over the
entire on time interval of the high-side
driver without significant voltage sag or
decay. The MOSFET gate charge must
also be supplied at the desired switching
frequency. Figure5showsthemaximum

controls MOSFET Q1. Unlike the
INT200, the INT202 allows both the
low and high-side drivers to be on at the
same time, as this is required in
applications where the load is placed
between the low and high-side output
MOSFETs.
