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 />
