APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
prevent additional RMS losses in upstream cabling, 6. The VIN current is the DC supply current which flows fuses or battery. The LT8550’s multi-phase architec- into the device from the VIN pin directly, and it is spec- ture can help reduce the ESR losses. ified in the Electrical Characteristic table. VIN current 5. Body diode conduction loss. During the dead time, typically results in a small (<0.1%) loss. the loss in the bottom MOSFET is IL • VF, where VF Other hidden losses, such as copper trace, fuse and bat- is around 0.7V. At higher switching frequencies, the tery resistance, etc. can account for additional efficiency dead time becomes a higher percentage of the switch- degradation. It’s important to take them into consideration ing cycle period and causes the efficiency to drop. during the system design phase.
