Bootstrap current measurement:
AUIR3330S
Switching time definition:
As the opposite schematic shows, the dv/dt on & off and
the Td Vout on & off switching time are measured at zero
current value and with a simulated continuous conduction
condition to avoid the di/dt impact (see also the
chronogram above).
Due the inductive load, the drain current level impacts
directly the delay to switch on the output voltage. So the
output voltage duty cycle value changes with the current
level. The output current duty cycle is higher than the
output voltage duty cycle. The di/dt on limit value allows
calculating the complete delay (here named Tcdon and off)
to switch on the output voltage.

All switching time values (except the Td Vout on & off parameters) could change with the application schematic
(output snubber filter) and with the PCB layout. Due to the internal pad, the input pin of the device has a parasitic
capacitor Cin. This capacitor and the Rin (the recommended input resistor) create low pass filter and add an
additional delay in the Tdcon value.
