PRODUCTION DATA.
The bias supply (VC) power requirements determine CVC sizing and hiccup frequency during a fault. The first step is to determine the power and current requirements of the power supply control circuitry, then select CVC. The following example assumes that control current draw is constant with voltage with no loading by the feedback and T2P optocouplers to simplify the process:
Compute gate drive power if VC is 12 V and QGATE is 17 nC
This equation illustrates why MOSFET QG should be an important consideration in selecting the switching MOSFETs.
