LT3796 gate driver current boosting

Category: Hardware
Product Number: LT3796-1

Is there any suggested circuit for boosting the current from the gate driver pin using a bypass transistor? Is it possible?

I'm using a LT3796 SEPIC based circuit operating at Vin = 68 .. 90V Vout=75.8V Iout=4.75A(maximum pulsed current) Freq=400kHz and I'm planning to use a mosfet driver on the GATE output due the low current limit of INTVcc regulator but the use of a bootstrap transistor will reduce the component count.

I appreciate any shared experience.

Thanks,

RS
