In the Linear Tech data sheet for the LT1700 :

on page 9.
the formula for the I^2R losses in the main switching FET are given as
DF*(I(out))^2 * Rdson
I think that for the MAIN FET switch, not the synchronous rectifier FET) the I (current) term should be the input current not the output current???
i.e.
DF*(I(in)^2) * Rdson
am I missing something??
thanks Mark
