Using the ZXMN6A09K (V

D(MAX)
= 12.2A):
Æ Q
G
= 29nC at V

= 10V
ZXLD1371 I
PEAK
= 300mA
Assuming that cumulatively the rise time and fall time can account for a maximum of 10% of the period, the maximum
frequency allowed in this condition is:
t
PERIOD
= 20*dt Æ f = 1/ t
PERIOD
= 515kHz
This frequency is within the recommended frequency range the device can handle, therefore the ZXMN6A09K is
recommended to be used with the ZXLD1371 for frequencies from 300kHz to 500kHz).
The recommended total gate charge for the MOSFET used in conjunction with the ZXLD1371 is less than 30nC.
Junction Temperature Estimation
Finally, the ZXLD1371 junction temperature can be estimated using the following equations:
Total supply current of ZXLD1371:

Where the total quiescent current I
QTOT
consists of the static supply current (I

) and the current required to charge and
discharge the gate of the power MOSFET. Moreover the part of thermal resistance between case and ambient depends on
the PCB characteristics.
