Question 1

What is the main formula for calculating dynamic losses in MOSFETs?

P_{sw} = (V_{DS} * I_D) / R_{DS(on)}
P_{sw} = 1/2 V_{DS} I_D (t_r + t_f) f_{sw}
P_{sw} = I_D^2 * R_{DS(on)}

💡 Hint: Focus on the parameters influencing dynamic losses.

Question 2

True or False: Increasing the rise time t_r can help reduce dynamic losses.

True
False

💡 Hint: Think about how longer transitions affect power.
