Figure 1-2 shows the switching sequence of a full bridge in PWM regulation between HS1 - load - LS2 (region # 1) and LS1 - load - LS2 (region # 5) with other transitions (region # 2, 3, and 4 for rising edge and region # 6, 7, and 8 for falling edge). The power dissipation on each FET is as follows:
Region | Time ratio within PWM cycle | LS2 [W] | HS2 [W] | LS1 [W] | HS1 [W] |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | D1 | RON × IL2 | 0 | 0 | RON × IL2 |
2 | VM/SRLSOFF x fPWM | RON × IL2 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 x VM x IL |
3 | tDEAD_LSOFF x fPWM | RON × IL2 | 0 | VD x IL | 0 |
4 | VD/SRHSON x fPWM | RON × IL2 | 0 | 0.5 x VD x IL | 0 |
5 | (1 - D)1 | RON × IL2 | 0 | RON × IL2 | 0 |
6 | VD/SRHSOFF x fPWM | RON × IL2 | 0 | 0.5 x VD x IL | 0 |
7 | tDEAD_LSON x fPWM | RON × IL2 | 0 | VD x IL | 0 |
8 | VM/SRLSON x fPWM | RON × IL2 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 x VM x IL |
In Table 1-2,
If we assume power dissipation in regions #4 and #6 are negligible, slews rate match for rising and falling edges, dead times are equal, then power dissipation for each FET can be approximated as follows:
For estimating power dissipation for load current flow in the reverse direction, identical equations apply, with only swapping of HS1 with HS2 and LS1 with LS2.
