1.3.2 High Frequency Power Switch Selection

As wide-bandgap devices are the necessary high frequency power switches for a CCM totem-pole bridgeless PFC Boost rectifier, TI “GaN CCM Totem Pole PFC Power Loss Calculation Excel Sheet” is used to estimate the loss on the power switches and select which GaN device is applicable. A screen shot of the calculation results is shown in Figure 1-3. 30mΩ GaN devices (LMG3522R030 or LMG3422R030) are eventually selected for this design.
