7.2.2.8 Select FETs QE and QF

Selecting FETs for a design is an iterative process. To meet the power requirements of this design, we select 75V, 120A FETs, from Fairchild, part number FDP032N08. These FETs have the following characteristics.

Equation 75. UCC28950 UCC28951
Equation 76. UCC28950 UCC28951

Calculate average FET COSS (COSS_QE_AVG) based on the data sheet parameters for COSS (COSS_SPEC), and drain to source voltage where COSS_SPEC was measured (Vds_spec), and the maximum drain to source voltage in the design (VdsQE) that will be applied to the FET in the application.

The voltage across FET QE and QF when they are of isf:

Equation 77. UCC28950 UCC28951

The voltage where FET COSS is specified and tested in the FET data sheet:

Equation 78. UCC28950 UCC28951

The specified output capacitance from FET data sheet is:

Equation 79. UCC28950 UCC28951

The average QE and QF COSS [2] is calculated using Equation 80:

Equation 80. UCC28950 UCC28951

The QE and QF RMS current are:

Equation 81. UCC28950 UCC28951

To estimate FET switching loss the Vg vs. Qg curve from the FET data sheet needs to be studied. First the gate charge at the beginning of the miller plateau needs to be determined (QEMILLER_MIN) and the gate charge at the end of the miller plateau (QEMILLER_MAX) for the given VDS.

The maximum gate charge at the end of the miller plateau is:

Equation 82. UCC28950 UCC28951

The minimum gate charge at the beginning of the miller plateau is:

Equation 83. UCC28950 UCC28951
Note:

The FETs in this design are driven with a UCC27324 Gate Driver IC, setup to drive 4A (IP) of gate drive current.

Equation 84. UCC28950 UCC28951

Estimated FET Vds rise and fall time using Equation 85:

Equation 85. UCC28950 UCC28951

Estimate QE and QF FET Losses (PQE) using Equation 86:

Equation 86. UCC28950 UCC28951
Equation 87. UCC28950 UCC28951

Recalculate the power budget using Equation 88.
