The power losses associated with the FETs in a Synchronous Buck converter can be
estimated using the equations shown in the table below. The formulas give a good
approximation, for the sake of performan ce comparison, of how different pairs of devices
affect the converter efficiency. However a very important parameter, the working
temperature, is not considered. The real device behavior is really dependent on how the
heat generated inside the devices is r e moved to allow for a safer working junction
temperature.
