FWDi recovery characteristics can be approximated by the ideal curve shown in Fig.3-2-1, and its dynamic loss
can be calculated by the following expression:

Attention of applying the power loss simulation for inverter designs
・
Divide the output current period into fine-steps and calculate the losses at each step based on the
actual values of PWM duty, output current, V
CE(sat)
, V
EC
, and Psw corresponding to the output
current. The worst condition is most important.
・
PWM duty depends on the signal generating way.
・
The relationship between output current waveform or output current and PWM duty changes with
the way of signal generating, load, and other various factors. Thus, calculation should be carried
out on the basis of actual waveform data.
