how can i get this formula for Mosfet? i need the integration Please help ????
this is the power dissipation in both switches (Mosfet) Due to power conduction in by Rds(on):
P switching = (V • ID/ 2) • (Ton + Toff) • Fsw + (Coss• V2• Fsw)
I have found the prove of the first part of this formula but the second part (Coss• V2• Fsw) i have no idea how you can get this formula can anyone help me please !!!

The energy stored on a capacitor is 1/2 CV\(^{2}\). But the same amount of energy is dissipated in the resistor (or transistor) used to charge the capacitor. This can be found by integrating the total energy used (charge x voltage) in charging the cap from a fixed voltage source. Thus the total energy lost in charging and discharging a cap is CV\(^{2}\).

And to get the power dissipated in a switching application you simply multiply the energy dissipated per charge and discharge times the switching frequency or CV\(^{2}\)Fsw.
