 Be sure to turn off Macro Protection in Excel to allow the custom functions and macros in this sheet to run.
For Excel 2000, this is done through "Tools|Macro|Security". Set the level to "low".
In Excel 97, you can do this through "Tools|Options. In the "General" tab, the "Macro Virus Protection" box should
not be checked.

RDS(ON) is a function of die temperature, and the die temperature is a function of Power Dissipation which is in
turn dependent on RDS(ON). To solve for dissipation or die temperature, the conduction loss calculations in this
spreadsheet use an iterative calculation method to arrive at the die temperature and dissipation.

Function / Description
Provides guidance on what MOSFET parametric data to enter in the "MOSFETDatabase" tab. This sheet is a
hotlink destination from some of the column headings in the MOSFETDatabase table.
Plots efficiency data from the table in EfficiencySummary tab.
Plots power loss data from the table in EfficiencySummary tab.
Database for the IC Controllers. Fairchild's portable PWM controllers are featured in this database. Any
controller can be added by using the "Add" button and filling in the appropriate fields.
Database for the MOSFETs. Many popular Fairchild MOSFETs are featured in this database. Any MOSFET can
be added by using the "Add" button and filling in the appropriate fields.
The main sheet where the system requirements and MOSFET choices can be entered, and the data is stored for
graphing. To run the graphing routine, push the "RUN" button at the top of the sheet.
The calculations contained in the "Synchronous buck MOSFET loss calculations" app note are programmed into
this sheet. The EfficiencySummary macro uses this sheet as its calculator. If a particular operating point needs
to be examined in more detail, then use this sheet, and enter the parameters by hand. Be sure to save a copy of
this workbook before overwriting formulas in "Output" tab.

Indicates user input parameters
Indicates calculated values that can be overwritten with selected values if desired.
These fields default to the calculated value directly above them.
These fields are written into, or contain formulae that were input on the "EfficiencySummary" sheet.
Definitions for database entries
VSP is the VGS voltage where the VDS changes. This is readily identified by the flat portion of the
gate charge curve. In the example curve to the right, VSP is about 2.8V.

QG(SW) can be taken from the graph as the difference between the end of the flat portion (about
8nC in the example to the right) and the QG value at VTH (about 2.5nC on this graph). If the graph
is not available, a good estimate is QGD + 0.5*QGS.

CISS is used for low-side MOSFET switching loss calculations. The VDS of the low side MOSFET
is at 0 when the MOSFET is switching. Therefore, use the value at which the CISS curve crosses 0,
which is typically about 1.4x the datasheet typical value. CRSS is used to calculate the low-side
"gate step" which is caused by the SW node rise injecting charge through CGD. Use datasheet
value.
