The device is based on the latest generation of
ST’s proprietary STripFET™ technology. An
innovative layout enables the device to also
exhibit extremely low gate charge for the most
demanding requirements in high-frequency DCDC converters. It’s therefore ideal for high-density
converters in Telecom and Computer
applications.

Figure 20. Buck converter: power losses estimation
The power losses associated with the FETs in a synchronous buck converter can be
estimated using the equations shown in the table below. The formulas give a good
approximation, for the sake of performance comparison, of how different pairs of devices
affect the converter efficiency. However a very important parameter, the working
temperature, is not considered. The real device behavior is really dependent on how the
heat generated inside the devices is removed to allow for a safer working junction
temperature.
●The low side (SW2) device requires:
●Very low R
●Small Qgls to reduce the gate charge losses
●Small Coss to reduce losses due to output capacitance
●Small Qrr to reduce losses on SW1 during its turn-on
●The Cgd/Cgs ratio lower than Vth/Vgg ratio especially with low drain to source
●voltage to avoid the cross conduction phenomenon;
●The high side (SW1) device requires:
●Small Rg and Ls to allow higher gate current peak and to limit the voltage feedback on
the gate
●Small Qg to have a faster commutation and to reduce gate charge losses
●Low R
