Ideal switch
Real switch
Ideal switch:
Zero voltage drop across it during turn-on (Von).
Although the forward current ( Ion ) may be large, the losses on the switch is
zero.
Real switch:
Exhibits forward conduction voltage (on state) (between 1-3V, depending on
type of switch) during turn on.
Losses is measured by product of volt-drop across the device Von with the
current, Ion, averaged over the period.
Ideally no current should flow through the switch. But for real
switch a small amount of leakage current may flow. This creates
turn-off or blocking state losses

Ideal switch:
During turn-on and turn off, ideal switch requires zero transition time. Voltage and
current are switched instantaneously.
Power loss due to switching is zero
Real switch:
During switching transition, the voltage requires time to fall and the current requires
time to rise.
The switching losses is the product of device voltage and current during
transition.
