Many of the more recent applications of PowerMOS transistors, particularly low voltage devices, have been as solenoid
drivers. In this type of application the device is simply used
as a switch to turn the current through a solenoid, relay or
other inductive load on and off (Figure 1). Since the dissipation is low, a very small or no heat sink will be required. This
note will cover the application of the rating and characteristics of PowerMOS transistors to that type of application and
illustrate the process of selecting a suitable transistor.
Defining the Problem
The circuit used in most solenoid switch applications is very
simple. It simply consists of an inductor and resistance in
series with the drain and a gate drive circuit (Figure 2). Analyzing this circuit can lead to some simplifications that will
speed design efforts.
There are three circuit states that we should analyze. The
simplest state is when the PowerMOS transistor is “off”,
when the gate and source are at the same potential. Under
this condition the dissipation in the device is simply the leakage current times the supply voltage VCC. Usually this is
negligible. The second state we should consider is when the
gate drive is “on”. The PowerMOS transistor can best be represented as a series resistor. The current through that resistor is:
V CC
I T = --------------------------------R L + r DS(ON)
(EQ. 1.1)
The dissipation (PT) in the PowerMOS transistor while the
device is “on” is:

orpoion,
minctor
reor ()
OC
FO
fark
P T = ( I T ) × r DS(ON)
(EQ. 1.2)
If we make the simplifying assumption that RL >> rDS(ON)
this is:
 V CC 2
P T =  ------------ × r DS(ON)
 RL 
(EQ. 1.3)
where rDS(ON) is the worst case resistance of the PowerMOS
transistor at its operating junction temperature. PowerMOS

transistors all exhibit an increase in rDS(ON) with temperature.
Usually this is given in the form of a curve of rDS(ON) vs temperature on the datasheet. The worst case rDS(ON) at any elevated junction temperature is determined as follows. First,
using the rDS(ON) vs temperature curve for the device, obtain
the multiplicative factor at the expected operating junction
temperature. Finally multiply the maximum 25oC rDS(ON) rating by the previously determined factor.
The third state we should consider is when the switch transitions from “on” to “off” or vice versa. In many solenoid switch
applications the major dissipation occurs while the PowerMOS transistor is “on”, but turn on and turn off also dissipate
power in the transistor. The switching speed of most PowerMOS transistors is so fast that turn on losses are usually
very small. An exception is when the drive current available
is very very small. Usually this does not occur in the real
world. For example the Fairchild RFP70N06 PowerMOS
transistor requires a maximum of 115nC of gate charge to
transition from “off” to fully “on”. For a gate drive which supplies 1.0mA this would mean that the transition would take
less than 115µs. This will make a negligible change in the
junction temperature of the PowerMOS transistor.
Turn-off subjects the PowerMOS transistor to Unclamped
Inductive Switching. Modern PowerMOS transistors can
withstand this type of stress and give clear ratings in their
datasheets to let customers calculate whether or not they
are operating within the devices’ capability. The energy dissipated in the PowerMOS transistor each time the current is
interrupted is:

The power dissipated in the device due to UIS will be directly
proportional to the number of times the interruption could
occur per second. If a human provides the interruptions, 5
times per second would probably be sufficient.

All of the losses in the PowerMOS transistor summed, multiplied by the total thermal resistance (junction to case, case
to heat sink and heatsink to ambient) gives the rise in junction temperature above the ambient. From that temperature
the operating rDS(ON) can be determined and the calculations iterated. Sometimes several iterations are required.
Capability at 4.0A, 175oC is 0.9ms.

The assumed circuit conditions are:
Check to be sure UIS stress is within RFP45N06
capability.
L = 50mH, VCC = 16V, RL = 4Ω, IERC PSD1-2U Heat sink.
In addition, the following
assumed:
operational conditions are
Rep Rate = 5 pulses/s, TA = 125oC, charged current
level ≈ 4A. Sufficient time was allotted for the inductor to
charge; we chose ten time constants (125ms). The inductor
also had to discharge to less than 1% of the charged current
level between pulses, and finally; 10ms of deadtime were
allotted between pulses.
Please note: the number of significant figures in all intermediate calculation values were truncated to aid readability.
Check UIS capability and verify junction temperature is less
than 175oC.

A. Try the RFP3055
Example 1 concludes we need a device with an on resistance of less than 50mΩ and a 30A continuous current rating
at +125oC case temperature. This seems to be a bit of overkill, since the application has a peak current of 4A. The possibility of a more cost-effective alternative should be
investigated. A circuit configuration using a smaller MOSFET
and a commutating diode will be examined to determine if
that is a better solution.

In addition, the following
assumed:
operational conditions are
Rep Rate = 5pulses/s, ambient temperature = +125oC,
charged current level ≈ 4A. Sufficient time was allotted for
the inductor to charge; we chose ten time constants
(125ms). The inductor also had to discharge to less than 1%
of the charged current level between pulses, and finally;
10ms of deadtime were allotted between pulses.
The selection process can be divided into two parts; MOSFET and diode, as each will perform different functions. The
MOSFET will function as a switch, the diode as a discharge
path for the inductor.

The discharge time is less than the allowable 65ms. This
approach will work. The inductor would discharge to less
than 1% of the initial current level between each pulse.
Conclusion
A properly selected MOSFET, capable of withstanding operation in the avalanche mode was the best choice of the solutions examined for this application. The MOSFET operating
as a switch dissipates little power while “on” and provides a
means of discharging the inductor between pulses; making it
functionally compatible for the application. Finally and
equally important; the avalanche rated MOSFET is also the
most economical choice of the solutions evaluated.
The selected MOSFET diode combination is also functionally compatible for this application. The combination selected
in this example is more expensive than the stand alone
MOSFET. However, the thermal resistance calculated for the
diode suggests a smaller less expensive diode could be substituted. The cost reduction from the substitution of a less
expensive diode may make the combination a more attractive solution. The examination of more economical diodes is
left to the reader.
In this application; functionality, economics and a defined set
of operating conditions were the constraints to the eventual
solution. Rather than reach a rigid conclusion; the Application note intended to illustrate a methodology to determine
the best solution for a set of design constraints.
The RURD410, interface and heat sink junction to ambient
thermal resistance are less than the requirement. This unit is
suitable.
The next consideration is to determine the time necessary
for the inductor to fully discharge. Earlier we established the
conditions for discharge. The current level must decay to 1%
of its initial value, the discharge time to the 1% current level
must be no greater than the pulse width of one pulse minus
the sum of the charge time and 10ms. In this illustration the
