Component Power Dissipation
Operating in discontinuous mode, power loss in
the winding resistance of the inductor can be
approximated to
PD L
=
2 TON * (RD) * VOUT + VF * (POUT)
3 L
VOUT
where POUT=VOUT * IOUT; RS=Inductor DC R;
VD = Diode drop.
SS6642G
The power dissipated in the MOSFET switch is
PDSW = 2 TON * (RON) * VOUT + VD − VIN * (POUT)
3 L
VOUT
The power dissipated in the rectifier diode is
PDd = VD * (POUT)
VOUT
