7.1.1.2 Power Loss Calculations - Dual H-bridge

For a H-bridge with high-side recirculation, power dissipation for each FET can be approximated as follows:

  • PHS1 = RDS(ON) × IL2
  • PLS1 = 0
  • PHS2 = [RDS(ON) × IL2 x (1-D)] + [2 x VD x IL x tD x fPWM]
  • PLS2 = [RDS(ON) × IL2 x D] + [VM x IL x tRF x fPWM]

Where,

  • RDS(ON) = ON resistance of each FET
    • For DRV8262 in dual H-bridge mode, RDS(ON) is typically 50mΩ at 25 °C, and 85mΩ at 150 °C.
  • fPWM = PWM switching frequency
  • VM = Supply voltage to the driver
  • IL = Motor RMS current
  • D = PWM duty cycle (between 0 and 1)

  • tRF = Output voltage rise/ fall time

    • For DRV8262, the rise/fall time is 110ns
  • VD = FET body diode forward bias voltage
    • For DRV8262, the voltage is 1V
  • tD = dead time
    • For DRV8262, the voltage 300ns

For estimating power dissipation for load current flow in the reverse direction, identical equations apply, with only swapping of HS1 with HS2 and LS1 with LS2.

Substituting the following values in the equations above -

  • VM = 24V
  • IL = 4A
  • RDS(ON) = 50mΩ
  • D = 0.5
  • VD = 1V
  • tD = 300ns
  • tRF = 110ns
  • fPWM = 20kHz

The losses in each FET can be calculated as follows -

PHS1 = 50mΩ × 42 = 0.8 W

PLS1 = 0

PHS2 = [50mΩ × 42 x (1-0.5)] + [2 x 1V x 4A x 300ns x 20KHz] = 0.448W

PLS2 = [ 50mΩ × 42 x 0.5] + [24 x 4A x 110ns x 20kHz] = 0.611W

Quiescent Current Loss PQ = 24V × 5mA = 0.12W

PTOT = 2 x (PHS1 + PLS1 + PHS2 + PLS2) + PQ = 2 x (0.8 + 0 + 0.448 + 0.611) + 0.12 = 3.84 W
