PRODUCTION DATA
The power dissipated in the synchronous rectifier MOSFET is comprised of three components: RDS(on) conduction losses, body diode conduction losses, and reverse recovery losses. RDS(on) conduction losses can be defined using Equation 31 and the RMS current through the synchronous rectifier MOSFET is described in Equation 37.
The body-diode conduction losses are due to forward conduction of the body diode during the anti-cross conduction delay time. The body diode conduction losses are described by Equation 38.
where
The 2-multiplier is used because the body diode conducts twice during each cycle (once on the rising edge and once on the falling edge). The reverse recovery losses are due to the time it takes for the body diode to recover from a forward bias to a reverse blocking state. The reverse recovery losses are described in Equation 39.
where
The QRR is not always described in a MOSFET data sheet, but can be obtained from the MOSFET vendor. The total synchronous rectifier MOSFET power dissipation is described in Equation 40.
