Pop quiz: Ace our eGaN FET quiz, win a textbook by the eGaN uber guru

October 16, 2014 By Lee Teschler 2 Comments

Question nine
For a 12-V input, 1.0-V output, 4-MHz 25-A buck converter, the designer wants to get the best performance and minimum loss on the low side (Sync) FET. The controller has a minimum dead time of 25 ns. dIL = 4 A. Calculate the Sync FET losses assuming a EPC2023. (Hint: From the EPC2023 data sheet, VDS = 30 V, RDS(on)max = 1.3 mΩ, ID=25 A. Qrr = 0.0 , VSD (30A)= 2.2 V, Freq = 4MHz)buck converter circuit

A. 0.58 W
B. 11.58 W
C. 3.6 W
D. 4.2 W
E. 13.2 W
