The synchronous buck converter is a widely used topology in low-voltage, high-current applications.  Low-power loss and highly efficient synchronous buck converters are in great demand for advanced microprocessors of the future. Good understanding of power losses in a synchronous buck converter is critical for improving converter performance.  This application report analyzes MOSFET-related power losses in a synchronous buck converter.
