| History block | YES |
| Text1 | Name of the semiconductor. |

| Function | Specify the name of the semiconductor for which the conduction and switching losses have to be calculated at Text1. Define at the inputs the turn-on and turn-off times of the device. The defined turn-on and turn-off times can be much smaller then the simulation step-size. Therefore the losses can be predicted independent from a small step-size. |
| Special | Example: Using the LOSSES block you are able to predict the losses but using a much higher step-size, for example 10us for a simulation of a switching converter with a 10kHz switching frequency. The simulation will run a 100 times faster compared to the 100ns step-size for a convention simulation model. |
