Abstract
A supply voltage generating circuit and method for a power system. The power system has a power input terminal to receive an input voltage, a system output terminal to provide a system voltage, a switching circuit, a bootstrap capacitor, and a first driver circuit with a power terminal. The switching circuit works in a buck mode to convert the input voltage to the system voltage, or in a boost mode to convert the system voltage to a boost output voltage. The bootstrap capacitor provides a bootstrap voltage at a bootstrap terminal. The method is generating an input pump voltage based on the input voltage and the boost output voltage, generating a first supply voltage based on the bootstrap voltage and the input pump voltage, and providing the first supply voltage to the power terminal of the first driver circuit.
