8.2.2.8 Switching MOSFET Selection

The TPS40210-Q1 device drives a ground referenced N-channel FET. The RDS(on) and gate charge are estimated based on the desired efficiency target.

Equation 52. GUID-FE4FA5B7-3D4C-41EB-8C67-93EB042CCEFA-low.gif

For a target of 95% efficiency with a 24-V input voltage at 2 A, maximum power dissipation is limited to 2.526 W. The main power dissipating devices are the MOSFET, inductor, diode, current sense resistor and the integrated circuit, the TPS40210-Q1 device.

Equation 53. GUID-2AA20596-4FA9-4B1D-9924-44C8A5573439-low.gif

This leaves 740 mW of power dissipation for the MOSFET. This can likely cause an SO-8 MOSFET to get too hot, so power dissipation is limited to 500 mW. Allowing half for conduction and half for switching losses, you can determine a target RDS(on) and QGS for the MOSFET by Equation 54 and Equation 55.

Equation 54. GUID-5D13D404-4F3E-4F24-9991-838AE6F8A1F8-low.gif

A target MOSFET gate-to-source charge of less than 13.0 nC is calculated to limit the switching losses to less than 250 mW.

Equation 55. GUID-10E022F1-094A-41EF-ACF5-623B0B5115F3-low.gif

A target MOSFET RDS(on) of 9.8 mΩ is calculated to limit the conduction losses to less than 250 mW. Reviewing 30-V and 40-V MOSFETs, an Si4386DY 9-mΩ MOSFET is selected. A gate resistor was added per Equation 29. The maximum gate charge at Vgs = 8 V for the Si4386DY is 33.2 nC, this implies RG = 3.3 Ω.
