Calculation of Power Dissipation
The total power dissipation Ptot is made up of
saturation losses Psat
(transistor saturation voltage and diode forward
voltages),
quiescent losses Pq
switching losses Ps
(quiescent current times supply voltage) and
(turn-ON / turn-OFF operations).
The following equations give the power dissipation for chopper operation without phase
reversal. This is the worst case, because full current flows for the entire time and
switching losses occur in addition.
where
Ptot = 2 × Psat + Pq + 2 × Ps
Psat ≅ IN { VsatI × d + VFu (1 – d ) + VsatuC × d + VsatuD ( 1 – d ) }
Pq = Iq × VS
