If that device also drops 2 V while carrying 400 A for half the time, its conduction loss is

  • A.800 W
  • B.200 W
  • C.4 W
  • D.400 W

Answer: D

Correct answer: 400 W

Conduction loss is the on-state voltage times the current times the fraction of the time the device conducts: \[ 2 \times 400 \times 0.5 = 400\ \mathrm{W}. \] With the 160 W of switching loss the device dissipates 560 W in total, and it is that total which the thermal design must remove.
