Switching losses due to turning ON and OFF. These are derived using the following 
equation:
Equation 23
Where T
RISE
 and T
FALL
 represent the switching times of the power element that cause the 
switching losses when driving an inductive load (see 
). T
SW
 is the equivalent 
switching time.

Quiescent current losses.
Equation 24
Where I
Q
 is the quiescent current.

R
DS(on)
 has a typical value of 0.25 at 25 °C and increases up to a maximum value of 0.5. at 
150 °C. We can consider a value of 0.4 
.
T
SW
 is approximately 70 ns.
I
Q
 has a typical value of 2.7 mA at V
