Peak Current Capability<br />

Conduction Losses<br />

• When a MOSFET is in the ON state, it<br />

behaves like a resistor<br />

• The resistance between the drain and the<br />

source is R DS(ON)<br />

• So the power dissipation is<br />

I 2<br />

load x RDS(ON)<br />

• For a given device, RDS(ON) • Increases with temperature<br />

• Decreases with VGS • Slightly increases with current<br />
