Application information

where RDSon is the drain-source on-resistance of the control MOSFET.

Switching losses are approximately given by:

Equation 41

where tON and tOFF are the turn-on and turn-off times of the MOSFET and depend on the

gate-driver current capability and the gate charge Qgate. A greater efficiency is achieved with

low RDSon. Unfortunately low RDSon MOSFETs have a great gate charge.

As general rule, the RDSon x Qgate product should be minimized to find out the suitable

MOSFET.

Logic-level MOSFETs are recommended, as long as low-side and high-side gate drivers are

greater than the maximum input voltage .VINmax.

Table 15 lists tested high-side MOSFETs.

In buck converters the power dissipation of the synchronous MOSFET is mainly due to

conduction losses:

Equation 42

Maximum conduction losses occur at the maximum input voltage:

Equation 43

The synchronous rectifier should have the lowest RDSon as possible. When the high-side

MOSFET turns on, high dV/dt of the phase node can bring up even the low-side gate

through its gate-drain capacitance CRRS, causing a cross-conduction problem. Once again,

the choice of the low-side MOSFET is a trade-off between on resistance and gate charge; a

good selection should minimize the ratio CRSS / CGS where
