Efficiency Estimation

The total loss of the boost converter (PTOTAL) can be expressed as the sum of the losses in the LM51501-Q1 (PIC), MOSFET power losses (PQ), diode power losses (PD), inductor power losses (PL), and the loss in the sense resistor (PRS).

Equation 41. GUID-23E791B3-71F1-446B-972D-1B7667A0B1A9-low.gif

PIC can be separated into gate driving loss (PG) and the losses caused by quiescent current (PIQ) in Equation 42.

Equation 42. GUID-CFC5E57C-7A75-4C4E-AFC3-C83244935307-low.gif

Each power loss is approximately calculated in Equation 43 and Equation 44:

Equation 44. GUID-29B3F585-1442-43A8-B119-B3A1D57210E3-low.gif

IVIN and IVOUT values in each mode can be found in the supply current section of Section 7.5.

PQ can be separated into switching loss (PQ(SW)) and conduction loss (PQ(COND)) in Equation 45.

Equation 45. GUID-263BE9AC-BDC9-4229-8E61-0C49740A4378-low.gif

Each power loss is approximately calculated using Equation 46:

RDS(ON) is the on-resistance of the MOSFET and is specified in the MOSFET data sheet. Consider the RDS(ON) increase due to self-heating.

PD can be separated into diode conduction loss (PVF) and reverse recovery loss (PRR) in Equation 48.
