QG(SW) can be taken from the Gate Charge Characteristics graph as the difference between the
end of the flat portion and the QG value at VTH . If the graph is not available, a good estimate is
QGD + 0.5*QGS.

MOSFETS:
Note: temp factor = 1.6 is used to worst case losses due to self heating; the alternative (but more
correct method) is to iterate the losses with temp rise until no additional temp rise is seen
