8.1.1.2.1 Power Loss Calculations

The total power dissipation in each half-bridge can be calculated as -

PHB = PHS + PLS = [RDS(ON) × IL2] + [((2 x VD x tD) + (VM x tRF)) x IL x fPWM]

Where,

  • RDS(ON) = ON resistance of each FET

    • For DRV8962, it is typically 53 mΩ at 25 °C, and 80 mΩ at 150 °C.

  • fPWM = PWM switching frequency
  • VM = Supply voltage to the driver
  • IL = Load current
  • D = PWM duty cycle (between 0 and 1)

  • tRF = Output voltage rise/ fall time

    • For DRV8962, the rise/fall time is either 70 ns or 140 ns

  • VD = FET body diode forward bias voltage

    • For DRV8962, it is 1 V

  • tD = dead time

    • For DRV8962, it is 300 ns

So, total power dissipation in the DRV8962 is -

PTOT = n × PHB + PQ

Where n is the number of half-bridges switching at the same time, and PQ is the quiescent power loss.

For this example, let us assume -

  • All four half-bridges are switching

  • VM = 24 V

  • IL = 3 A

  • Ambient temperature (TA) = 25 °C

  • tRF = 70 ns

  • Input PWM frequency = 20 kHz

When the VCC pin is connected to an external power supply, the quiescent current is 4 mA, and therefore PQ will be (24 V x 4 mA) = 96 mW.

PHB = [53 mΩ × 3 2] + [((2 x 1 V x 300 ns) + (24 V x 70 ns)) x 3 A x 20 KHz] = 0.614 W

PTOT = (4 x 0.614) + 0.096 = 2.552 W
