PRODUCTION DATA.
The following key parameters must be met by the selected MOSFET.
For this design IDD should be greater than 4.1 A
Target efficiency for this design is 90%. Based on 1.8-V output and 10-A operating current this equates to a power loss in the module of 1.8 W. The design allocates this power budget equally between the two power FETS and the inductor The equations below are used to calculate the power loss, PQSW, in the switching MOSFET.
where
Equation 22 and Equation 23 describe the preliminary values for RDS(on) and (Qgs1 + Qgd). Note output losses due to QOSS and gate losses have been ignored here. Once a MOSFET is selected these parameters can be added. The switching MOSFET for this design should have an RDS (on) of less than 20 mΩ . The sum of Qgd and Qgs1 should be approximately 14.8 nC. . The Vishay SI7860ADP was selected for this design. This device has an RDS(on) of 9 mΩ and a (Qgs1+Qgd) of 13 nC. The estimated conduction losses are 0.135 W and the switching losses are 0.297 W. This gives a total estimated power loss of 0.432 W versus 0.6 W for our initial boundary condition. Note this does not include gate losses of approximately 10 mW.
