Hi:
I need solved a next problem: My drivers IR2111 dont work fine, and I to know what bootstrap capacitor is necesary for driver IR2111 with a MOSFET B25NM60N 600V, 20A. If you know something this, you can need help about this?, Or please give me equation for calculating the value of Bootstrap capacitor.
Very thank

Cboot > (Qg + Dmax*Tsw*Idrv ) / ΔV

Where:
Qg is the gate charge of the MOSFET
Dmax is the maximum duty-cycle​
Tsw is the switching period​
Idrv is the average consumption of the driver​
ΔV is the ripple you accept across the bootstrap capacitor​
