Calculate the Minimum Required Capacitance: Cboot≥ΔVbootQtotal+Qextra=0.5V86nC+5nC=0.5V91nC=182nF
Apply a Safety Factor of 10: Cboot,design≈10×182nF=1820nF
Final Design Recommendation:
Select a standard bootstrap capacitor value near or above 1.82 µF (for example, 2.2 µF) to ensure robust operation.
This calculation takes into account your driver (LTC4446), the MOSFET's parameters, and the chosen bootstrap diode (1N5829) under the given supply voltage (10–14 V).
