Solution

The switching power loss can be calculated using the formula:

P = Qrr * Vrr * f

where:

  • Qrr is the reverse recovery charge (1300 nC or 1.3 x 10^-9 C)
  • Vrr is the off-state reverse voltage (540 V)
  • f is the frequency (20 kHz or 20 x 10^3 Hz)

Substituting the given values into the formula, we get:

P = 1.3 x 10^-9 C * 540 V * 20 x 10^3 Hz

Solving this gives:

P = 0.01404 W or 14.04 mW

So, the switching power loss is approximately 14.04 mW.
