<strong>Switching</strong> <strong>Losses</strong> @ increasing switching speed<br />

• <strong>Switching</strong> off:<br />

Same FET <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Diode</str<strong>on</strong>g>, reducing Rg:<br />

E OFF<br />

= 22.8uJ 16.7uJ<br />

Drawback: ringing due to parasitic Ind. & Caps<br />

All measurements: FDD6N50 + ISL9R460, U = 300V, I = 4A<br />

Recommended Rg<br />

Good switching performance, no ringing<br />

Low Rg<br />

Bad switching performance, ringing, but lower E OFF<br />
