Step-by-Step MOSFET Selection (Part 2) — Switching Loss Calculation for Mid to High power Designs

Switching loss calculation equations are a lot simpler than they look.
In this video, Dr Ali Shirsavar from Biricha Digital shows that behind the intimidating formulas, it’s really just simple school-level physics.

You’ll learn where switching losses come from and how to understand and apply the equations without getting lost in complexity.

In this step‑by‑step tutorial, you’ll discover how to:

✅ Understand the physical origin of switching losses
✅ Break down the standard equations and see where they come from
✅ Identify all the key parameters in a MOSFET datasheet needed to calculate switching losses easily — rise/fall times, Vth, Q_g, Miller plateau, Ciss/Crss, and more

📘 The calculations in this video are based on the excellent paper by Laszlo Balogh: Fundamentals of MOSFET and IGBT Gate Driver Circuits (SLUA618A), available at TI.com
