Power MOSFETs
Logic-level MOSFETs are recommended, since low side and high side gate drivers are
powered by LDO5. Their breakdown voltage VBR
In notebook applications, power management efficiency is a high level requirement. The
power dissipation on the power switches becomes an important factor in switching
selections. Losses of high-side and low-side MOSFETs depend on their working conditions.
The power dissipation of the high-side MOSFET is given by:
Equation 18
Maximum conduction losses are approximately:
Equation 19
where R
are approximately:
Equation 20
where ton and toff are the switching times of the turn off and turn off phases of the MOSFET.
As general rule, high side MOSFETs with low gate charge are recommended, in order to
minimize driver losses. Below there is a list of possible choices for the high side MOSFET.
Table 13.
The power dissipation of the low side MOSFET is given by:
Equation 21
Maximum conduction losses occur at the maximum input voltage:
