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

October 16, 2014 By Lee Teschler 2 Comments

Question three

Same buck converter. VIN=12 V, VOUT=1.2 V, IOUT=20 A, fsw=1 Mz. If the Td(on)=Td(off)= 2.5 ns, calculate the both eGaN FET and MOSFET body diode power loss. We’re still at 25 C.
