The synchronous rectifier MOSFET has two loss components, conduction, and diode reverse recovery losses. The conduction losses are due to IRMS losses as well as body diode conduction losses during the dead time associated with the anti-cross conduction delay.
The IRMS current through the synchronous rectifier from Equation 37:
The synchronous MOSFET conduction loss from Equation 33 is:
The body diode conduction loss from Equation 38 is:
The body diode reverse recovery loss from Equation 39 is:
The total power dissipated in the synchronous rectifier MOSFET from Equation 40 is:
The junction temperature of the synchronous rectifier at 85°C is:
In typical applications, paralleling the synchronous rectifier MOSFET with a Schottky rectifier increases the overall converter efficiency by approximately 2% due to the lower power dissipation during the body diode conduction and reverse recovery periods.
