Excessive delay causes body-diode conduction on one or both of the MOSFETs and leads to excess power loss. Because the optimal dead time depends on the primary- and secondary-MOSFET delay, transition ...

MOSFET LOSS FACTORS There are a number of different loss factors caused by switching MOSFETs in switch mode power supplies: conduction loss, switch transition loss, body diode conduction loss ...

The forward-voltage drop of a typical Schottky diode is around 0.6 V, and the diode conduction loss could be significant in high-current applications. In applications where conduction loss contributes ...

1. Basic topologies for flyback secondary rectification use a diode (a) or an SR MOSFET (b). What kind of losses are we talking about? For a diode, the forward-conduction power loss is simply the ...

Toshiba has improved both conduction loss in its SBD-embedded SiC MOSFET, and achieved good diode conductivity, by deploying a check-pattern SBD distribution.

“Our Gen 2 1200 V device shows remarkable conduction loss advantages that are especially useful for <20 kHz applications.” said Dr. Richard Blanchard, co-founder of Pakal Technologies.
