Looking at the PDF using the MOSFET example with the DIODES and caps in place, you'll see that the cap gets charge via the 12V supply. Then that fet must be turned on, the cap will discharge its store charge between the source and the gate via the BHB and BHO, at this point, a 12 volt ref will be placed from the source to the gate which will thus turn on the Fet.. The on time isn't infinite, so the system needs to pulse to recharge etc.. hence the PWM scheme!.. have a good day.. |
