Part Number: LM5146-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LM5146

Hello all

when I do a WCA with LM5146 ,I have some doubts about the datasheet :

the most important is about the MOSFET calculation formula :

about the MOSFET calculation in LM5146 ,the MOSFET switching , Is the calculation formula correct ?
If the formula is not correct, I can use follow formula to analysis the MOSFET power dissipation?

Thanks

Hi huang,

The two sets of equations are effectively equivalent. The total switching transition time is the sum of the voltage / current rise and fall times (effectively a triangle of switching energy loss during high-side MOSFET turn on and turn off).

Regards,

Tim

ok,I should use one of the last two formulas to calculate the switching loss .

mosfet switching loss formula is not correct in LM5146 datasheet ,is it right? thanks

The equations are correct. TR and TF are the voltage rise and fall times -- the current transition times are assumed much smaller and thus neglected. You can crosscheck your power loss calculations with the LM5146 quickstart calculator.

Please look at that formula carefully in datasheet LM5146 ,

Loss 1/2 .this is the main problem ...and We don't want to use this formula, but the premise is to make sure it's unreasonable

Oh yes, there should be a factor of two in the expression. Thanks for pointing that out.
