I am making a circuit with IGBT for charging a capacitor. The Driver 
which i use is a high side driver as suggested by Infineon.I have 
received working spice model of the driver from Infineon for my 
application. however the simulation in LT spice is not giving required 
output and also it is very slow. i am attaching the simulation file. 
Kindly guide me in finding the error.

Now i would like to drive the circuit with negative 800VDC . I have 
doubts regarding the reference ground for the control section and the 
power section.In the control section i can use the ground of 0V. and for 
the power section i have -800VDC. Do i need to modify my circuit for my 
negative power source . kindly guide

No, this will blow up the Lowside MOSFet immediately, as it will see 
800V between Source and Gate. Possibly the only way to solve this is to 
reference the complete PA including the driver IC to the -800V and drive 
the circuit with optocouplers.
The next problem ist to generate the 12V-15V for the driver and charging 
pump, with about -785V.

Thank you for the information.

I have tried the bootstrap example for high side driving. Can i connect 
the load to the collector side and drive it as low side driver ?. Is it 
possible ?.Can you suggest sample circuit for solving such a condition

Is just the bootstrap capacitor is not enough to drive the gate? Do i 
also need charge pump circuit ?

Thanks in Advance
