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 RDSon is the drain-source on resistance of the high side MOSFET.
Switching losses are approximately:
Equation 20
where t
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:
