Where:
R
DSON
= FET on-state resistance
DCR = Inductor dc resistance
D = Duty cycle
t
S
= Reciprocal of the switching frequency
Using the values in this example, the dc power loss is 129 mW. The remaining FET losses are:
P
SW
– Power dissipated while switching the FET on and off
P
gate
– Power dissipated driving the FET gate capacitance
P
COSS
– Power switching the FET output capacitance
The total power dissipated by the FET is the sum of these contributions:

The sum of the switching losses is 34 mW and is comparable to the 129-mW dc losses. At added expense, a
slightly larger FET would be better because the dc loss would drop and the ac losses would increase, with both
moving toward the optimum point of equal losses.
