PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
Converter Efficiency
Losses due to parasitic resistance in the switches, coil,
and sense resistor dominate at high load-current level.
The major loss mechanisms under heavy loads, in usual
order of importance, are:
• MOSFET I2R Losses
• Inductor Coil Losses
• Sense Resistor Losses
• gate-charge losses
• diode-conduction losses
• transition losses
• Input Capacitor losses
• losses due to the operating supply current of the
IC
Efficiency of the converter under heavy loads can be calculated as follows:

Example:
DutyCycle = 5-----+3---.-3-0---.-+5-----–0---.-05---.--3- = 0.73
PDMOSFET = 10 2 ´ 0.030 ´ 0.73 = 2.19W
PDINDUCTOR = 10 2 ´ 0.010 = 1W
PDRSENSE = 102 ´ 0.0065 = 0.65W
PDGATE = CV ´ f ´ 5V = 1.75nf ´ (9 – 1)V ´ 650Khz ´ 5V = 0.045W
PDDIODE = 0.5 ´ 10(1 – 0.73) = 1.35W
