Capacitive Load Power Dissipation
Dissipation caused by a capacitive load is simply the energy
placed in, or removed from, the load capacitance by the
driver. The energy stored in a capacitor is described by the
equation:
As this energy is lost in the driver each time the load is charged
or discharged, for power dissipation calculations the 1/2 is
removed. This equation also shows that it is good practice
not to place more voltage in the capacitor than is necessary,
as dissipation increases as the square of the voltage applied
to the capacitor. For a driver with a capacitive load:
where:
f = Operating Frequency
C = Load Capacitance

Inductive Load Power Dissipation
For inductive loads the situation is more complicated. For
the part of the cycle in which the driver is actively forcing
current into the inductor, the situation is the same as it is in
the resistive case:
However, in this instance the R
the on resistance of the driver when its output is in the high
state, or its on resistance when the driver is in the low state,
depending on how the inductor is connected, and this is still
only half the story. For the part of the cycle when the induc-
tor is forcing current through the driver, dissipation is best
described as
where V
(generally around 0.7V). The two parts of the load dissipation
must be summed in to produce P
Quiescent Power Dissipation
Quiescent power dissipation (P
section) depends on whether the input is high or low. A low
input will result in a maximum current drain (per driver) of
≤ 0.2mA; a logic high will result in a current drain of ≤ 3.0mA.
Quiescent power can therefore be found from:

Transition Power Dissipation
Transition power is dissipated in the driver each time its
output changes state, because during the transition, for a
very brief interval, both the N- and P-channel MOSFETs in
the output totem-pole are ON simultaneously, and a current
is conducted through them from V
power dissipation is approximately:
where (A•s) is a time-current factor derived from the typical
characteristic curve “Crossover Energy vs. Supply Volt-
age.”
