Thermal models in soft switching, Eoss accounting

Hi Noah,

The answer depends on the thermal model you are using and how it is implemented. Some semiconductor vendors include an additional term +lookup('Eoss', v, T). Others do not specifically include the Eoss losses or fold them into the Eon/Eoff tables, but the distinction becomes critical at light loads or ZVS where the Eoss losses can dominate.

This also was the topic of a great talk at APEC this year by Wolfspeed, noting that other vendors (but not all) include this loss mechanism as well.

Bryan
