MOSFET Selection Cosiderations
MOSFET Selection
This application requires N-channel Logic Level Enhance-
ment Mode Field Effect Transistors. Desired characteristics
are as follows:
• Low Static Drain-Source On-Resistance,
R
DS,ON
< 37 m
Ω
(lower is better)
• Low gate drive voltage, V
GS
≤
4.5V
• Power package with low Thermal Resistance
• Drain current rating of 20A minimum
• Drain-Source voltage > 15V.
The on-resistance (R
DS,ON
) is the primary parameter for
MOSFET selection. It determines the power dissipation
within the MOSFET and, therefore, significantly affects the
efficiency of the DC-DC converter. Table 5 is a selection
table for MOSFETs.
Note:

C for most devices were extrapolated from the typical operating curves supplied by the
manufacturers and are approximations only.
