We can write as:
PBD = Ptd1 + Ptd 2
(12)
Where Ptd1 is the body diode loss during dead time td1 and Ptd2 is the body diode loss
during dead time td2.
Ptd1
=
Pcd1
+ Prr1

PWM Gate Driver Power loss: [1]
The power dissipation in the driver is defined by,
PDRIVER = QG(onl) • VDD • f S
(15)
where Qg(onl) is the total gate charge of the MOSFET and VDD is the driver power supply.
The gate “point of voltage” is,
VSP
= VTH

The driver current is,
I = R V − V + R DRIVER(L−H )

The rise time is,
t = I Q t(on)

The fall time is,
t = I Q t(off )

If an external Schottky diode (D1) is used across Q2, the Schottky’s capacitance needs to
be charged during Q1 turn-on. The power loss to charge the Schottky’s capacitance is,
