Switching MOSFET Selection

The TPS40210 drives a ground referenced N-channel FET. The RDS(on) and gate charge are estimated based on the desired efficiency target.

Equation 53. GUID-76806A0C-B8FE-4563-8670-C8601CB9352F-low.gif

For a target of 95% efficiency with a 24-V input voltage at 2 A, maximum power dissipation is limited to 2.526 W. The main power dissipating devices are the MOSFET, inductor, diode, current sense resistor and the integrated circuit, the TPS40210.

Equation 54. GUID-43C10A01-CD48-489F-AE78-499C5D82AC37-low.gif

This leaves 812 mW of power dissipation for the MOSFET. This can likely cause an SO-8 MOSFET to get too hot, so power dissipation is limited to 500 mW. Allowing half for conduction and half for switching losses, we can determine a target RDS(on) and QGS for the MOSFET by Equation 55 and Equation 56.

Equation 55. GUID-EA07032E-DACD-4551-B24B-9570DABBF034-low.gif

A target MOSFET gate-to-source charge of less than 13.0 nC is calculated to limit the switching losses to less than 250 mW.

Equation 56. GUID-C72A28B9-B176-401F-8BCF-8FFD3543AFF0-low.gif

A target MOSFET RDS(on) of 9.9 mΩ is calculated to limit the conduction losses to less than 250 mW. Reviewing 30-V and 40-V MOSFETs, an Si4386DY 9-mΩ MOSFET is selected. A gate resistor was added per Equation 30. The maximum gate charge at VGS= 8V for the Si4386DY is 33.2 nC, this implies RG = 3.3 Ω.
