Find the triggering frequency when the average gate power dissipation ...
(Pgm) = (Pgav)/Duty Cycle
Duty Cycle = f x T = (Pgav)/(Pgm)
Duty Cycle = 0.3/5
T = 20 μsec.
0.3/5 = f x T
f = (0.3)/(5 x 20 x 10-6) = 3000 Hz.

To find the triggering frequency, we need to know the gate capacitance of the device.
Assuming the gate capacitance is denoted as Cg, we can use the formula for average power dissipation in a device to find the triggering frequency:
Average Power Dissipation = (Peak Gate Drive Power) * Duty Cycle / Triggering Frequency
We are given that the average power dissipation is 0.3 W, the peak gate drive power is 5 W, and the pulse width (duty cycle) is 20 μs.
Plugging in these values, we get:
0.3 W = (5 W) * (20 μs) / Triggering Frequency
Simplifying the equation, we can solve for the triggering frequency:
Triggering Frequency = (5 W) * (20 μs) / 0.3 W
= (5 W) * (20 * 10^-6 s) / 0.3 W
= (5 * 20 * 10^-6) / 0.3 Hz
= (100 * 10^-6) / 0.3 Hz
= 100 / 0.3 kHz
≈ 333.33 kHz
Therefore, the triggering frequency is approximately 333.33 kHz.
